What is a mechanical watch?

A mechanical watch,such as Rolex replica,Porsche Design replica and Richard Mille replica is a device for keeping time, which uses the energy from a wound spring, and keeps time through the highly regulated release of that energy through a set of gears (the wheel train) and an escapement.It differs from the typical quartz watch in that it uses purely mechanical components to keep time.Mechanical watches typically can run for about 40 hours on one full winding of the mainspring, with a few designs available with up to 8 days, or even 10 days, of power reserve.You can check it from the good quality watches,such as Zenith replica,Hublot replica,Ferrari replica watches,Breitling replica,U-Boat replica,Bell&Ross replica,Patek Philippe replica and Omega replicas.

The basic design of mechanical watches has not changed very much in the past fifty years,this can be clearly seen from the Rolex watches,for example its Rolex Daytona replica,Rolex Datejust replica and Rolex Yacht-Master replica series.What has changed is the use of high technology and modern materials in the design and manufacture of watches.Even with the fusion of CAD/CAM, electrospark erosion in the manufacturing, and titanium nitride cases; the pinnacle of watchmaking is still an expression of elegance of design, attention-to-detail in finishing and assembly, and the art of hand-tweaking movements for optimum performance.
A mechanical watch is an anachronism, it is the ultimate refinement of "low" technology.
