Mechanical watches are a very classic option for anyone who is both interested in vintage styling and wants to break away from the world of modern technology in favor of tried-and-true classics. Mechanical watches are divided into two main subgroups - manual-winding and automatic-winding watches. The former are an exact reproduction of the first watch mechanisms that were created - they require regular daily winding. Meanwhile, the automatic-winding mechanism only requires wearing on the hand - the specifics of the mechanism guarantee continuous winding through use alone.
The principle of operation of both mechanisms is very simple - both function thanks to a spring placed inside the watch, gradually rotating, which causes the gait of the individual components, so that its hands move. The difference is the method of propulsion - in the case of mechanical watches with manual winding, it is the wearer, turning the crown, that tightens the spring, while in the case of automatic watches it is the pendulum, rotating as the hand moves, that tightens the spring, so that during use the watch is driven all the time. Many people consider automatic watches to be much better than manual-winding watches that require winding, but many people choose the latter - mainly because of the need to constantly take care of the watch's condition, which teaches discipline and regularity, and is also most associated with the first watches, which is a great reference to vintage design.
