The Nick Shabazz take on Mechanical Watches: How they work, what they can do, and what they do well
Published: 8 years ago
Today, we'll follow up on my Quartz watch video (below) and talk a bit about how mechanical watches work, what they do, what features are around, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
It's simplified, and the horologists are way deeper into it, but it gives you some basics for next time, where we'll talk about mechanical vs quartz for EDC, and for my upcoming review of the Sinn 104.
Here's the Quartz Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DDkFtZjFek
And a great disassembly video of a movement like in the watch pictured: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtgAJBPPefM
