mechanical movement
Watch's inner workings
Mechanical movement refers to the arrangement of gears, springs, levers, and other components that power a device—especially a watch or clock.
A mechanical movement converts stored energy into regulated motion: The watchmaker carefully cleaned the mechanical movement.
The term distinguishes hand-wound or automatic mechanisms from battery-powered quartz movements.
