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 which must be wound periodically. Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power the balance wheel, which oscillates back and forth at a constant rate. This makes the 'ticking' sound characteristic of all mechanical watches. Since the 1970's, quartz watches have taken over most of the watch market, and mechanical watches are now a high-end product, purchased for aesthetic reasons, appreciation of their fine craftsmanship, and as a status symbol.
