Should
I Get a Mechanical Movement or Quartz in My
Pocket Watch?
First of all you have made an excellent decision
to purchase a pocket watch.
Whether a gift, or a personal favorite
pocket watches can be passed down from
generation to generation and even regarded as a
family heirloom. In years past pocket watches were a symbol of social
standing, but now days pocket watches are an
excellent gift for one who has reached a
milestone in their life.
Lets see what the differences are between
a mechanical and quartz movement and which one
would work best for your situation.
Quartz movements run on
battery and are more accurate than mechanical
movements.
These movements are also vulnerable to
magnetic fields.
In other words, you wouldn’t want to
attach a strong magnet to your battery for the
fun of it.
I wouldn’t recommend that for any
watch. There
is no cleaning or winding needed with quartz
movements since they run on battery.
Actually if a quartz movement breaks it
is cheaper just to replace the movement than to
try to fix the movement.
The major benefits are easy maintenance,
accuracy, and their relatively cheap.
Mechanical movements run on
a mainspring, which is unwound evenly to power
the watch.
Most will need to be wound once a day
while some can last 8-10 days.
These types of watches will
need to be cleaned every 3-7 years, and can last
a lifetime if they are properly maintained.
With all the tiny moving parts the
mechanical watches are usually more expensive
than quartz watches.
With all the moving parts and decorative
jewel cases available for mechanical watches it
is no surprise how impressive these watches are
to show off to friends and family.
Quartz and Mechanical
movements both have their advantages and
disadvantages.
Hopefully this information can help you
make a more informed decision.
