  2. Automatic watch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_watch

    Video of the rotor turning in an automatic wristwatch having a glass back, when the watch is moved by hand. An automatic watch, also known as a self-winding watch or simply an automatic, is a mechanical watch where the natural motion of the wearer provides energy to wind the mainspring, making manual winding unnecessary if worn enough. [1]

  3. Movement (clockwork) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_(clockwork)

    Mechanical watch movements are also classified as manual or automatic: Manual or hand winding In this type the wearer must turn the crown periodically, often daily, in order to wind the mainspring, storing energy to run the watch until the next winding. Automatic or self-winding

  4. Mechanical watch - Wikipedia

    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.

  5. Tourbillon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourbillon

    A tourbillon movement watch by Breguet. In modern mechanical watch designs, production of a highly accurate watch does not require a tourbillon. There is even debate among horologists as to whether tourbillons ever improved the accuracy of mechanical watches, even when first introduced, or whether the watches of the day were inherently ...

  6. Spring Drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Drive

    The Spring Drive uses a conventional mainspring [3] and barrel [4] along with automatic and/or stem winding to store energy, just as in a mechanical watch. [3] However, the escapement and balance wheel in mechanical watches is replaced by Seiko's Tri-synchro Regulator system, a phase-locked loop wherein a rotor, which Seiko refers to as a "glide wheel", is powered by the mainspring barrel via ...

  7. 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 ...
