What are the types of watch movements?

   2022-10-18  

The core of the watch is the movement, which is like the heart of the human body and can power the watch. The watch movement has largely determined whether the watch is stable and accurate. So, what are the types of watch movements?

 

1. Manual mechanical watch movement


Watches using this movement need to provide travel time for the mainspring to store power by manual winding, and the conventional power is generally 2 to 3 days. Its running time is a coherent and even rotating running time, and you can hear the coherent running time of tick tick when you listen to it. When the manual winding reaches a certain level, there will be a sense of blocking and the sound of winding can be heard.

 

The manual winding movement is the earliest movement. The clockwork spring must pass "human intervention". The wearer has to manually rotate the clockwork on the crown to walk normally. Generally, it is the last clockwork manual winding machine in 24 hours. The core is also the earliest machinery. Now it is also used by some high-end brands.

2. Automatic mechanical watch movement


The watch with this movement has an additional automatic winding function, as long as it is worn normally, it can have sufficient power to maintain the time. It travels in the same way as a manual machine. The obvious difference from manual machinery is the automatic rotor movement, which can usually feel the movement of the automatic rotor when worn or shaken, and the words "automatic" are generally engraved on the dial.

 

The self-winding movement is wound by the movement of the watch, and through the operation of an oscillating weight, the hairspring of the watch is slowly tensioned, and the watch also realizes the effect of "running on its own". The self-winding movement is the choice of most mechanical watches today. As long as you wear it every day, you don’t need to wind it up, and the hairspring that is evenly tensioned with the movement is more conducive to the accuracy of travel time. Of course, there is one more thing to pay attention to: the automatic mechanical watch cannot go without wearing it, and there is not enough power support.

 

3. Quartz watch movement


That is, a watch powered by a battery (generally a battery can last 18 to 24 months). The travel mode is jumping seconds (some mechanical watches also have a jumping second travel mode, which is called the "jumping second" function), that is, one jump per second. The winding gear is neutral, and there is no sense of blockage when winding. The principle of the quartz movement is that there is no oscillating balance wheel as a metronome, only a quartz oscillator, which is oscillated by electrical energy (battery).

 

The movement produced by the watch manufacturer may be a manual winding movement, or it may be an automatic winding movement. It refers to the key parts of its movement, such as the main bridge and the bridge, which are produced by the manufacturer itself. All are produced by ourselves, so you can name your own model, etc.
