The Short History of Men’s Watches

The first timepieces were crafted in the 16th century and featured mechanical movement – batteries had not been invented yet. The next 500 years saw continuing improvements in mechanical movement until the 1970s and 80s when quartz watches started replacing mechanical ones in the era called the ‘Quartz Crisis’ or ‘Quartz Revolution’. Many watch brands still use mechanical movement and some models even show the inside workings of the watch.

Mechanical Movement

The mechanical watch contains no electronics and functions solely from the mechanical energy it stores from the winding process. Inside the watch, a spring is wound tightly and provides between 1 to 5 days of operation until it winds down. There are two kinds of mechanical watches: manual and automatic.

The manual mechanical watch is wound up by turning the knob on the side of the watch. The automatic mechanical watch gets its energy from your movement.

Quartz Movement

Quartz movement watches rely on the energy derived from the vibrations of a quartz crystal that oscillates in a specific and precise interval. That interval is what makes the seconds hand move in a choppy manner instead of a clean sweep (like with a mechanical watch). There are many reasons why quartz movement replaced mechanical movement watches.

• Quartz is much more accurate


• Quartz is less expensive to make


• Quartz inner workings need much less space


• Quartz watches can be smaller and not as thick as mechanical watches
