Mechanical watch vs. quartz watch

There are two main families of watches: electronic and mechanical. Their difference lies in the energy used to make them work. Mechanical watch or quartz watch for men? Manual or automatic winding? When it comes to choosing a watch, two schools of thought seem to oppose each other for the movement. If mechanical watches are very popular with collectors and watch lovers, quartz watches are the most common on the market. In this article we will help you to see more clearly.
