Mechanical Watch : Classic Elegance and Modern Engineering

A men's mechanical watch operates without a battery: the automatic movement is wound by the natural motions of the wrist, while the manual movement requires periodic winding via the crown. This category of timepieces contrasts with quartz watches not only in its operation but also in its positioning: it appeals to watch enthusiasts who appreciate seeing (or knowing) that a physical mechanism is beating on their wrist. Who chooses a mechanical watch? Men who are sensitive to watchmaking tradition and who accept the constraint of regular wear (8 to 10 hours a day) in exchange for a different experience than quartz. Why not a mechanical watch for everyday wear? Because it demands attention to its power reserve, unlike a quartz watch which runs continuously as long as the battery is charged. How does the power reserve work? An automatic movement stores energy thanks to a rotor that turns with the movements of the wrist; without regular wear, the watch stops and must be reset. Why the Olevs collection? For stainless steel models, often with visible skeleton movements through the dial or case back, delivered in a presentation box, with free shipping in Europe.
