TODOS Los Tipos de Movimientos de Reloj EXPLICADOS en 44 Minutos

Automatic, quartz, solar, hand-wound, Kinetic, Spring Drive, or mechanical-quartz? Which is really the best? The answer depends far less on price than the watchmaking industry often suggests. A mechanical watch costing thousands of dollars can drift by several seconds a day, while an inexpensive quartz watch can keep better time for an entire month. And that's because price, prestige, and precision aren't exactly the same thing. In this NARELVA video, we explain from scratch how the main types of watch movements work and what truly differentiates each technology. Every movement needs to solve three problems: Where does it get its power? What element regulates time? How does it transmit that time to the hands or the display? From there, everything starts to make sense. You'll see how a hand-wound mechanical movement works, from the mainspring and barrel to the escapement, balance wheel, hairspring, and jewels. We also explain why an automatic watch is still mechanical, even though it uses a rotor to wind the mainspring with the movements of your wrist. Next, we enter the world of quartz, where a tiny crystal typically vibrates at 32,768 Hz, allowing for a level of precision that many much more expensive mechanical watches cannot match. And not all quartz movements are created equal. In this video, you'll also discover: • Analog Quartz • Digital Watches • Solar Quartz • Citizen Eco-Drive • Casio Tough Solar • High-Precision Quartz • Grand Seiko 9F • Bulova Precisionist • Radio-Controlled Watches • GPS Watches • Electric and Electromechanical Movements • Bulova Tuning Fork Accutron • Seiko Kinetic • Autoquartz • Meca-quartz • Spring Drive • Electrostatic Accutron • Tourbillon • Dead Seconds • High-Frequency Mechanical Movements • Smartwatches We also clear up several common misconceptions. A solar watch is still a quartz watch. An automatic watch is still a mechanical watch. A tourbillon isn't a separate family of movements: it's a regulating mechanism within a mechanical watch. A chronograph is a complication. GMT doesn't define the type of movement either. And simply looking at the second hand won't tell you what technology is inside. A mechanical watch can advance once per second. A quartz watch can have a very smooth sweep. An Accutron can buzz. And a Spring Drive can slide its second hand truly continuously. One of the most fascinating movements is precisely the Spring Drive. It gets its energy from a mainspring, like a mechanical watch, but uses a quartz crystal and electromagnetic regulation to control the speed. It's not a conventional quartz movement. Nor is it a traditional mechanical movement. It's a hybrid solution that combines mechanical energy with electronic precision. And then there's the Bulova Accutron, which replaced the traditional balance wheel with an electric tuning fork that vibrated hundreds of times per second and produced its famous buzz. We also analyzed Seiko Kinetic, which uses a rotor to generate electricity instead of directly winding a mainspring, and meca-quartz chronographs, which combine quartz regulation with a mechanical chronograph experience. So, which is the best movement? If you want precision, simplicity, and low maintenance: quartz. If you want to forget about changing batteries for years: solar. If you want tradition and a mechanical feel: automatic. If you enjoy the ritual of interacting with the watch: manual winding. If you want an affordable and practical chronograph: meca-quartz. If you're looking for a historical and unusual technology: tuning fork or electromechanical. And if you want to witness one of the most extraordinary combinations of mechanical and electronic watchmaking: Spring Drive. The conclusion is simple: the best movement isn't necessarily the most expensive. It's the one that best suits your watch-wear style. Now tell me in the comments: If you could only keep one type of movement for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Quartz, solar, automatic, manual wind, Kinetic, tuning fork, or Spring Drive?
