Pick your brand

On the other hand, Breguet crafted one of the oldest watches in the history of timekeeping with celebrated clients like Louis XVI, his queen Marie-Antoinette and the queen of Naples.
A movement that suits you
The movement is the ‘calibre’ or also known as the engine of the watch. It is the internal mechanism that makes the movement of the hands and powers complications such as chronograph, annual calendar
Quartz – These watches are battery powered and are usually lower on the cost side as they have few moving parts. Easy to maintain, this is an extremely reliable movement that loses only a few seconds every month. It is not as popular among watch enthusiasts but is perfect for people who want convenience, affordability and fewer time adjustments.
Mechanical – These watches have a mainspring that has to be wound to store energy. When the spring unwinds it releases the energy that moves the gears of the timepiece. These movements aren’t as accurate as quartz. there are also two types of mechanical movements – automatic and manual. Manual is for the traditionalists that want to wind the watches themselves. However, automatic are more popular since they are self-winding and harness energy through the natural motion of your wrist
