Types of Watch Movements
Although all watch movements have the same purpose, there are different types for different watches.
Watch brands must use the specific watch movement suited to their design.
Mechanical Watch Movements
Also known as hand-wound movements, these are the oldest watch movements beginning in the 16th century.
The movement must be wound by hand every day to allow the watch to operate. They are usually found in more
traditional, higher end and collectible watches.
Automatic Watch Movements
In the 20th century came the self-winding watch movement which winds itself while the watch is worn.
These became commonplace in most luxury watch designs. However, if the watch is not worn for a period of
time, it will stop and require manual winding.
Quartz Watch Movements
With little need for maintenance and powered by a battery, the quartz movement is the most affordable
option. The lack of technicality of this type of movement makes them attractive for a watch maker's
budget, however, wouldn't interest a watch connoisseur. It is currently the most accurate type of watch
movement used today.
ETA Watch Movements
Short for ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse, ETA watch movements have been manufactured since the early
1800s. As one of the most exclusive kinds of watch movements, they are only used in classic Swiss-style
watches.
