When it comes to watches, the debate between automatic movements and quartz technology is as timeless as the watches themselves. While both serve the essential purpose of timekeeping, automatic watches offer something extraordinary—a blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and engineering that resonates deeply with enthusiasts. At Alandium, we exclusively craft watches with automatic movements, creating timepieces that are as sophisticated as they are functional.
What Are Automatic Movements?
Automatic watches, also known as self-winding watches, use the natural motion of your wrist to power the movement. Unlike quartz watches, which rely on batteries, automatics are marvels of mechanical engineering, with intricate components working harmoniously to keep time.
Key Features of Automatic Watches:
-
No Batteries Required: Powered by a rotor that winds the mainspring as you move.
-
Craftsmanship: A symbol of traditional watchmaking, showcasing meticulous attention to detail.
-
Longevity: With proper care, automatic watches can last a lifetime.
