Watches by Movement: Mechanical, Automatic, Quartz
When choosing a luxury watch, understanding its movement — the mechanism that powers it — can help you select a timepiece that best aligns with your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. At Lenox Jewelers, we proudly offer a variety of high-quality watches featuring mechanical, automatic, and quartz movements, each with unique benefits and features.

Mechanical Watches
Mechanical watches are driven by a manually wound mechanism, a tradition that celebrates centuries of fine watchmaking. Powered by a complex system of gears and springs, these watches require regular winding, fostering a hands-on relationship with the timepiece.
Collectors and enthusiasts highly value mechanical watches for their meticulous craftsmanship, with each component carefully engineered and assembled by skilled artisans. Brands like Cartier and Omega offer mechanical models that showcase intricate designs and fine detailing, making them popular for both their artistry and functionality.

Automatic Watches
Automatic watches, also known as self-winding watches, harness the wearer's natural wrist movements to power the timepiece. Inside these watches is a small rotor that spins as you move, winding the mainspring to keep the watch ticking. With regular wear, automatic watches require little to no manual winding, blending the charm of traditional mechanics with the ease of modern convenience.
Brands such as Breitling and Oris Holstein are celebrated for their precision automatic models, which balance durability, style, and mechanical elegance. Automatic watches appeal to those who admire traditional craftsmanship, but prefer a self-sustaining timepiece.

Quartz Watches
Quartz watches rely on a battery and a quartz crystal, which oscillates to keep precise time. Known for their accuracy and low maintenance, quartz watches are perfect for those who prioritize reliability and ease of use. With minimal upkeep required beyond an occasional battery change, quartz models offer convenience alongside stylish designs.
Brands like Michele and Shinola create quartz watches that emphasize both form and function, appealing to individuals seeking a dependable, everyday watch. Quartz watches are especially suited for active lifestyles, or anyone who values accuracy without the need for regular winding.
Choosing the Right Movement for You
When selecting a watch, think about how often you plan to wear it, and the level of maintenance you’re comfortable with. A mechanical watch is an elegant heritage piece that requires regular winding, while an automatic watch offers a balance of traditional mechanics and convenience. Quartz watches, on the other hand, provide unmatched accuracy and ease of use.
