Usually, mechanical watches are divided into the following two types from the aspect of power source: manual wind watches and automatic watches. A mechanical watch is powered by a clockwork in the movement, which drives the gears and to impel the movement of watch hands. The movements used in shijin watches are from professional watch movement manufacturers, for instance, MIYOTA, SEIKO, etc.
The movement is the heart of a watch, especially for a mechanical watch. All components used in a mechanical movement are made of mental. Otherwise, all the parts of the mechanical watch, for instance, the watch case applied with steel or noble metal. It's no wonder that the mechanical watch has a long working life.
A mechanical watch needs professional watch manufacturing and crafts, whether in the assembly or in the movement production, which relies on an experienced watch factory and their in-house worker. There are nearly over 130 components and 1300 process during the production of a simple mechanical movement.
One of the most attractive character is the mechanical skeleton watch design, which has several different designs for a mechanical watch. Form the skeleton design, you can appreciate the aesthetic of the elegant craft used in mechanical watch. The first one is that a watch dial with a hollow out window displayed rotor. The second one, the whole watch dial is transparent to be seen the structure of a movement. Besides, a mechanical watch can also uses a transparent glass to show the automatic rotor.
Mechanical watches can be divided into two types according to the ways of winding: hand-wound and self-winding. A manual wind mechanical watch is powered by turning the watch crown to fully wind the mainspring in the watch movement. An automatic mechanical watch is powered by the movement of the auto rotor. When you swivel your wrist, the auto rotor can work to wind the spring. As a result that an automatic mechanical watch needs to be worn to maintain its move.
