However, what separates a mechanical watch from other types of watches is that it uses NO electric power. The history of mechanical watches dates back around 400 years, when they evolved from spring-powered clocks. In addition to their striking appearance and high style, mechanical watches are special because they use no electric or battery power. Instead, mechanical watches are powered by a mainspring, and can typically run for about 24-40 hours on one full wind. This removes the need to purchase and change batteries, and is an environmentally friendly way to power timepieces. The best reasons to choose a mechanical watch over a quartz watch are: 1.
