Brands are taking note of this growing trend, as we see more women wearing timepieces with different designs, colors, and functions, expanding and enhancing their wardrobes.

Watches that have automatic movement are suitable for gents who prefer to rely on their arm to turn the mechanism rather than a battery. It can be hard to decide what to buy though, as more automatic watches hit the market each day. 

Wristwatches fall into one of two broad categories. And they’re separated by the type of mechanism that keeps them ticking — the movement alone. There are two types of quartz which are the most popular and which work by passing electric current through a quartz crystal through a watch battery using the vibration of that crystal to keep time.

The second, and the one we are interested in today, is mechanical. One of the most common types of watches, these are widely regarded as having better craftsmanship and not using batteries. The functions of mechanical watches belong to the clockwork structure which depends on the mainspring to keep time. Most often, the mainspring is either manually wound or automatically wound.

Watch collectors or horological fans who love timepieces should own at least one mechanical timepiece, even though quartz is comparatively inexpensive and readily available. 

The demand for mechanical wristwatches, including the hand-winding and automatic varieties, has greatly increased in the past few years.  considering quartz clock movements are cheaper and more prevalent than ever and smartwatches are being worn by more and more people every day.

While producing a mechanical wristwatch can be an expensive proposition, the proliferation of relatively inexpensive but high-quality Japanese movements has meant that smaller boutique brands finally have a way to craft affordable hand-winding and automatic timepieces, while the larger brands can make this technology affordable with large-scale production. Everyone can afford an affordable mechanical watch out there for any occasion, whether it’s a diver or a dress watch.
