A watch is a portable timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person. It is designed to keep a consistent movement despite the motions caused by the person’s activities. A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet, including metal bands, leather straps, or any other kind of bracelet. A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket, often attached to a chain.
Watches appeared in the 16th century. During most of its history, the watch was a mechanical device, driven by clockwork, powered by winding a mainspring, and keeping time with an oscillating balance wheel. These are called mechanical watches.[1][2] In the 1960s the electronic quartz watch was invented, which was powered by a battery and kept time with a vibrating quartz crystal. By the 1980s the quartz watch had taken over most of the market from the mechanical watch. Historically, this is called the quartz revolution (also known as the quartz crisis in Switzerland).[3][4] Developments in the 2010s include smart watches, which are elaborate computer-like electronic devices designed to be worn on a wrist. They generally incorporate timekeeping functions, but these are only a small subset of the smartwatch’s facilities.
Mechanical movements never require batteries because they require periodical hand-winding to operate. They are accurate to about +/- 20 seconds a day and super reliable and just plain cool to look at. They justify a higher price tag than other movements because they feature intricate series of tiny components that work together to power the timepiece.

- There are three main types of watch ‘movement’ (the mechanism that makes it work). The traditional – and most expensive option – is a mechanical watch which doesn’t use batteries.
- Most mechanical watches in the luxury watch market are ‘automatic’ which means they don’t need winding up thanks to a clever spring (as opposed to a ‘manual’ mechanical watch which needs winding up regularly).
- The cheaper alternative is a quartz watch, which uses batteries and electrical wizardry to keep time. You will still find quartz movements in some good quality luxury watches, but the general rule is that the most expensive watches are mechanical. Quartz is very accurate, it’s just not just not as classy. Quartz watches ‘tick’ from second to second, whereas mechanical watches move smoothly.
- Some of the best watch brands make their own movements 'in-house' which is seen as a badge of honour and offer and an extra level of exclusivity. A bit like when Kelloggs say 'we don't make cereal for anyone else...'.
