Homage watch movements
Most homages buy their movement in from a few makers. 326 of the 551 on Bewrist are automatic and 77 run on quartz. Here is what that means on the wrist, and which homages use each movement.
Automatic or quartz
326 Automatic
Winds itself as you wear it, and stops if it sits off the wrist for long enough.
12 Hand-wound
No rotor: you turn the crown to keep it running.
11 Mecha-quartz
A battery keeps the time; the stopwatch runs through a mechanical module.
77 Quartz
Runs on a battery. Nothing to wind, and it keeps running off the wrist.
125 more have no movement type listed yet, 112 of them with no movement listed at all. They stay in Homages in their usual place.
What the figures mean
- Beats an hour
- How many small steps the seconds hand takes. 21,600 is six a second; 28,800 is eight, a finer sweep.
- Power reserve
- How long a fully wound movement runs once it is off the wrist, in hours.
- Stops to set
- Pull the crown and the seconds hand stops, so you can set the time to the second.
- Maker's limit
- The most the bare movement may run slow or fast a day, by its maker's own figures.
