Quartz watches or mechanical watches?

Quartz and mechanical watches are not just a striking visual alternative to the looming digital overkill. In particular, mechanical wristwatches and wall clocks or table clocks still offer reliability even when the battery or rechargeable battery gives up the ghost. With a deviation of three to five seconds, mechanical watches are among the most accurate machines around, by the way. The performance of mechanical wristwatches and wall clocks is therefore impressive, as is their design. They can almost be described as works of art.

In fact, the aesthetics of mechanical watches are spectacular. The movement, which is often openly visible, is a fascinating masterpiece of engineering. Wearing a mechanical wristwatch shows that you value quality and style, and at the same time you have a reliable travel companion that always tells the time. But whether quartz or mechanical, every model lets you show a bit of your personality. With the wide selection of wristwatches, living-room clocks or office clocks available today, everyone should really be able to find the right one.

When buying a watch, the main question is therefore: quartz watch or mechanical watch?

Of course, both quartz watches and mechanical watches serve the same purpose and tell the time. But which is the right choice? Quartz watches have the advantage that they tell the time with absolute precision these days and are available for very little money. Mechanical models, on the other hand, are in a much higher price range. Even so, there are many manufacturers who specialize exclusively in mechanical watches.

Mechanical wristwatches

The brands Ingersoll and Junkers, both of which you can also find in our shop, are among the watch brands that produce mechanical wristwatches. Technically on a high level and also a real eye-catcher in terms of looks, these brands' models sell consistently well. .

Mechanical living-room clocks

Mechanical wall clocks, table clocks and grandfather clocks are offered by AMS, Hermle, and Kieninger, for example, in different price ranges. Mechanical living-room clocks in particular are true masterpieces. Their appeal comes from the precise and impressive mechanics and the classic design. In addition, a mechanical wall clock or table clock is not a short-term purchase but one for a lifetime. Customers enjoy them for decades, and they often remain in the family for generations. .

You can simply rely on a mechanical watch, especially when it comes to reliability compared with a quartz watch that runs on batteries. So if you want durability and to protect the environment, a mechanical wristwatch or living-room clock is exactly the right choice. .

Advantages of quartz watches

Even so, quartz watches also have their advantages. In addition to the already mentioned accuracy and the price advantage, they impress with their design. Subject to fashion trends, manufacturers of battery-powered watches make a point of always staying on trend, bringing out new wristwatch and wall clock collections up to twice a year. The selling point is therefore often the look. Lots of colorful and striking designs are flooding the market. Case, strap, and choice of colors must always match the current trend, which repeatedly and successfully tempts people to buy a new piece. Watch brands such as Swatch and s.Oliver, for example, continuously deliver new collections that are defined by their appearance.

So both quartz watches and mechanical watches have their place in the watch market. And both have one thing in common anyway: there are many good manufacturers for both types of movement, and especially for women's and men's wristwatches there is a wide selection.
