  How Watches Work
 

As well as their exterior beauty, watches are also an incredible feat of engineering and craftsmanship. Several complicated parts must all work  simultaneously  in order to  tell time. Today's watch however,  performs a myriad of other functions.   

Watch Parts

Here is an overview of the major parts of a watch, as well as an explanation of how watches operate.

 

Watches essentially tell time by the integration of three main components: an energy source, a time regulating mechanism and a display. The energy source can be electronic (as in a battery) or mechanical (as in a wound spring).

 

A watch’s main timekeeping mechanism is called its movement. Today’s watches fall into two categories:

 

Mechanical movements and Quartz movements. Here’s a breakdown of how each type of movement works:

 

Mechanical watches are made up of about 130 parts that work together to tell time.

 

Automatic mechanical movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. A series of gears, called the motion work, then turns the hands on the watch face, or dial.

 

Quartz watches work with a series of electronic components, all fitting together in a tiny space. Rather than a wound spring, a quartz watch relies on a battery for its energy. The battery sends electrical energy to a rotor to produce an electrical current. The current passes through a magnetic coil to a quartz crystal, which vibrates at a very high frequency (32,768 times a second), providing highly accurate timekeeping. These impulses are passed through a stepping motor that turns the electrical energy into the mechanical energy needed to turn the gear train. The gear train turns the motion work, which actually moves the hands on the watch dial.
