Mechanical wristwatches stand for tradition of craftsmanship and history. High-quality materials and additional functions make the mechanical wristwatches a special kind of piece of jewellery. Not only because of this, but also because the mechanical watches have a particularly long lifespan if properly cared for, the mechanical watches are often passed down from generation to generation as heirlooms. The longevity of the mechanical wristwatches and, above all, the water resistance is favoured by the fact that no battery change is necessary. This is because in a mechanical watch, the driving force is transmitted to the transducer via the gear train. In this way, the oscillator controls the speed and thus also the movement of the hands. The movement is wound by hand or automatically (see automatic watches). A large selection of high-quality, hand-wound mechanical wristwatches and quality movements can be found here.
While the first mechanical watch was developed over 1000 years ago, the triumphal march of the mechanical wristwatch only began about 100 years ago. The prerequisite for the introduction of market-ready wristwatches with mechanical drives was the increasing miniaturization in the art of watchmaking, which made it possible to accommodate increasingly complex movements in ever smaller cases. A first step in this direction was certainly achieved with pocket watches.
However, the beginning of the 20th century, and the technological developments of that time, ushered in a new era in watchmaking. In particular, the further development of the winding mechanism for wristwatches brought a decisive advantage: In contrast to mechanical grandfather, table and wall clocks, the winding by key was dispensed with in favor of winding by crown, which still influence the appearance of wristwatches today.
Mechanical wristwatches gradually replaced the hitherto widespread and popular pocket watches, and people who could read the time from their wrists became a normal sight on the streets of the metropolises. The fact that they were looking at a marvel of watchmaking was expressed in the fact that the watches were guarded like a treasure and were often passed on from generation to generation.
Undisputedly, automatic watches are the most popular and at the same time the most modern among wristwatches with mechanical movements. Wristwatches with automatic movements have the advantage that they wind up solely by the movement of the wrist, thus making manual winding via the crown unnecessary. Especially in the 1950s, automatic watches became very popular due to their unsurpassed comfort.
Since then, well-known manufacturers such as Ingersoll and Junkers have continued to perfect the mechanisms for their mechanical wristwatches and automatic watches. Both Ingersoll and Junkers offer mechanical multifunction wristwatches and automatic chronographs, which offer other useful functions such as the date display or the stopwatch in addition to the time display. Nowadays, water resistance is also no longer a problem, even with mechanical watches.
Junkers mechanical watches are robust and durable all-rounders with minimal maintenance and high precision. They are designed as mechanical pilot's watches that pay homage to the pioneering days of German aviation. Hence such expressive names as "Altitude Record Flight F13" or Iron Annie Ju 52. Ingersoll has made a name for itself as a manufacturer of high-quality automatic watches. Founded in 1892 in the United States, models such as "Sierra", "Boston" and "Jefferson" today commemorate historical events, leaders or places in the USA.
