Automatic watches
Mechanical watches are watches that have a special mechanism that allows the watch to function without the aid of a battery.
Mechanical watches can be automatic or manual. Automatic mechanical watches work thanks to a rotating mass that is influenced by the force of gravity, rotates around its own axis and gives energy to the mainspring. In this case, the automatic mechanical watch functions solely by the movement of the wrist. Manual mechanical watches, on the other hand, need to be wound daily and to do so, simply turn the crown clockwise, taking care not to have the watch on. When winding is complete, the crown locks. Mechanical watches, as well as being expensive, are particularly delicate watches, so it is always best to avoid shocks. This category of wristwatches has the 'defect' that they are often not very accurate, but it can happen that they lag behind by a few minutes over the course of weeks.
