A mechanical watch is a timepiece that uses a complex system of gears, springs, and other components to keep track of time. Unlike quartz watches, which rely on a battery to power an electronic oscillator, mechanical watches are powered by the wearer’s movement. This makes them more environmentally friendly and, for many enthusiasts, more desirable.
Mechanical watches are often considered to be more accurate than quartz watches, and they can also be more durable. However, they require more maintenance than quartz watches and can be more expensive to purchase. Despite these drawbacks, mechanical watches remain popular among collectors and watch enthusiasts.
