A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a mechanical mechanism to measure the passage of time as opposed to modern quartz watches which function electronically. It is driven by a spring (called a mainspring) which must be wound periodically. Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power the balance wheel a weighted wheel which oscillates back and forth at a constant rate.
