A mechanical watch uses a clockwork mechanism to measure time, while a quartz watch utilizes a battery. There is the mainspring which gets wound and holds the force which then goes on to power the balance wheel. The gear train transmits the force and also calculates the swings totaling the seconds, minutes and hours.

A watch movement (also known as a "calibre") is the inner mechanism of a watch which powers its functions. It is typically composed of gears, springs, and other components that control the timing of its hands or display. The three main types of movements used in wristwatches are mechanical, automatic and quartz.

The first step in any journey is curiosity. Cultivate your interest in watches by exploring different styles, mechanisms, and the history of horology. Take the time to learn about the intricate movements and the artistry that goes into crafting each timepiece.
