Everything you need to know about watch movements

Choosing a watch? Start with the movement.

The movement is the watch engine that keeps your watch ticking. There are two main types: Quartz and Mechanical. Quartz watches run on a battery and use a small piece of quartz crystal to keep time. They are accurate, low-maintenance, and slimmer. Perfect if you want a reliable and no-fuss timepiece. Mechanical watches, especially automatic ones, are powered by kinetic energy and wind themselves using the motion of your wrist. These require more craftsmanship and need regular wear or a watch winder to keep ticking.

Watch functions to keep you on track

Our watches do a lot more than tell the time. They have useful features to prepare you for every moment. Some include chronographs that act as stopwatches, or date and day displays. Tachymeters let you measure speed, while anti-magnetic protection ensures precision, no matter the environment. Knowing how these functions work makes it easier to choose the right watch for your needs, whether you're looking for something practical for diving, traveling, or everyday wear.
