As with the buying of any watch, one of the first things to decide is whether to go
mechanical or
quartz. A mechanical movement involves careful engineering and are watches as we traditionally know them. However, they can lose time and are not as precise as a quartz watch, which is an innovation that took the watchmaking world by storm in the 1970s. Quartz watches are indeed more practical, reliable, usually cost less and require less maintenance. However, many women today, like men, continue to choose watches with a mechanical movement, due to their enormous appeal owing to their tradition and craftsmanship.
