Automatic Movements vs. Quartz: What Makes Automatics Special?

Automatic Movements vs. Quartz: What Makes Automatics Special?

02 October 2024


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.

Why Alandium Chooses Automatic Movements

At Alandium, we believe that a watch is more than just a timekeeping device; it’s a statement of individuality and artistry. That’s why all our collections feature automatic movements, each uniquely tailored to enhance the wearer’s experience.

Mercurius Collection: Custom Made Full Calendar Movement

The Mercurius collection combines precision and complexity with a custom-made full calendar movement. It offers day, date, month, and year complications, making it a true testament to sophisticated craftsmanship.

Elysium Collection: In-House Made Automatic Movement

Designed for innovation, the Elysium collection features an in-house developed mechanical movement. Its skeleton dial not only highlights the movement but also reflects our passion for blending automotive-inspired design with traditional watchmaking.

Hyperion Collection: Miyota 6T27 Movement

The Hyperion collection is powered by the Miyota 6T27, a reliable automatic movement known for its durability and precision. Adorned with moissanite stones, it bridges everyday practicality with elevated style.

Poseidon Collection: Coming Soon with Tourbillon Movement

We’re excited to announce that the Poseidon collection will soon feature a tourbillon movement, a pinnacle of horological innovation. This addition will cement Alandium’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship.

No batteries mean a more sustainable and eco-friendly option for conscientious consumers.

Aesthetic Appeal

Visible movements, such as those in skeleton designs, showcase the watch’s intricate inner workings and make automatics visually captivating.
