Understanding Watch Movements

The movement is the heart of any watch. There are three main types:

Automatic Movements

Self-winding mechanisms powered by your wrist movement. Popular in luxury watches for their craftsmanship and no battery requirement.

Manual Movements

Traditional hand-wound movements that showcase pure horological artistry. Preferred by purists and collectors.

Quartz Movements

Battery-powered, extremely accurate movements. Often found in luxury sports watches and modern timepieces.

Key Factors to Consider

1. Budget Planning

  • Entry luxury: $1,000 - $5,000
  • Mid-range luxury: $5,000 - $15,000
  • High-end luxury: $15,000 - $50,000
  • Ultra-luxury: $50,000+
  • 2. Case Size and Fit

    The ideal case size depends on your wrist. Generally:

  • Smaller wrists (6-7 inches): 36-40mm
  • Medium wrists (7-8 inches): 38-42mm
