  2. Automatic watch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_watch

    The next development for automatic watches came in 1948 from Eterna Watch. To wind a watch effectively, one of the chief requirements of a rotor is heft. Until this point, the best bearing used in any watch was a jewel bearing, which perfectly suits the small gears of a watch. A rotor, on the other hand, requires a different solution.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_watch

    The hand-winding movement of a Russian watch. A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a clockwork mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to quartz watches which function using the vibration modes of a piezoelectric quartz tuning fork, or radio watches, which are quartz watches synchronized to an atomic clock via radio waves.

  4. Geneva drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_drive

    In watches, the "drive" wheel is the one that winds up the spring, and the Geneva wheel with four or five spokes and one closed slot prevents overwinding (and also complete unwinding) of the spring. This so-called Geneva stop or "Geneva stop work" was the invention of 17th or 18th century watchmakers.

  5. Automatic quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_quartz

    Automatic quartz is a collective term describing watch movements that combine a self-winding rotor mechanism [1] (as used in automatic mechanical watches) to generate electricity with a piezoelectric quartz crystal as its timing element. Such movements aim to provide the advantages of quartz without the inconvenience and environmental impact of ...
