What is a Mechanical Watch?
A mechanical watch operates without a Battery. It uses a mainspring and gears to keep time. You can wind it manually or let it wind itself with your wrist movements (automatic).
What is an Annual Calendar?
An annual calendar watch automatically adjusts for months with 30 or 31 days and requires manual adjustment only once a year. This functionality is powered by our Manufacture module.
