Mechanical watches have remained popular throughout the years, even through this digital age, because they are items of superior quality and craftsmanship.To power a mechanical watch you simply wind up the mechanism by turning the watch crown. Energy is released as the mainspring slowly unwinds. This type of movement requires no battery and can be highly intricate with stunning features. However, you still have to wind your watch ever morning. Even though we may be attached to our smartphones or any digital products, there is just something special about owning an item that has had so much time and energy put into it. Your iPhone will be obsolete in two or three years, a luxury Swiss watch will last you a lifetime when treated with the respect they deserve.
