Automatic or Quartz Movement – Which Watch Suits You Best?

A watch is more than just a timekeeping device – it’s a reflection of your personality and lifestyle. Before selecting a watch, it’s essential to ask yourself: Which type of movement suits you best? Whether you prefer Automatic or Quartz, each technology offers distinct advantages and features.

In this blog article, we’ll guide you through the benefits of each movement type, helping you find the perfect watch for your needs. Whether you appreciate traditional craftsmanship, desire a low-maintenance option, or aim to live sustainably, discover which movement type aligns with your preferences.

Watches with Automatic Movement

Automatic movements are a hallmark of traditional watchmaking, embodying the essence of mechanical timepieces. These watches operate without batteries, relying instead on the motion of your wrist. As you wear the watch, an internal rotor spins with each movement, winding the mainspring and ensuring the watch keeps running.

Watches with Quartz Movement

Quartz movements are renowned for their precision and widespread use in watches. Powered by a battery, these movements rely on a quartz crystal that vibrates when electrified. These vibrations are then converted into electrical impulses, which in turn drive the watch hands.
