The two main categories are quartz and mechanical, with automatic watches being a subcategory of mechanical watches. However, there are hybrid types that uses some form of combination between the two.
Quartz: uses a battery of some sort (replaceable battery, rechargeable battery that are charged by wearing it or leaving it exposed to light) to drive an electronic circuit that control a vibrating quartz crystal (which vibrates at a bit over 32KHz).
Mechanical: One of the oldest forms of timepieces - using a wound-up spring and a clever gear system that consistently distributes power (called escapement) to the hands. Usually these will be hand-wound only through the crown.
Automatic: A mechanical watch with extra mechanisms that allow it to wind the spring by itself using the natural motions of the wearer.
Mechatronic: A quartz watch with a mechanical chronograph (stopwatch).
Spring Drive: A technology developed by Seiko that uses a mechanical power system to drive quartz-based electronics which then controls the delivery of the power system.

Can you show me images of a quartz watch?
I would recommend checking out Quartz website directly to get an idea of what they sell and their style. If you'd like to compare with other watches you can look at other jewelers such as Kay or even Macy's.

What movement does charles hubert pocket watches uses?
Charles Hubert pocket watches typically use quartz or mechanical movements. Quartz movements are battery-operated, providing accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance. Mechanical movements, on the other hand, are powered by a winding mechanism and offer a traditional craftsmanship appeal. Depending on the specific model, Charles Hubert watches may feature either type of movement.

What is the significance of quartz?
Quartz is significant because it is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and has many practical uses. It is commonly used in electronic devices, watches, and jewelry due to its durability and clarity. In healing and metaphysical practices, quartz is believed to have properties that promote clarity, energy, and balance.
What is one use for quartz other than their use in jewelry?
One significant use for quartz, aside from jewelry, is in the manufacturing of electronic components. Quartz is utilized in the production of oscillators and frequency control devices, such as quartz watches and radio transmitters, due to its piezoelectric properties. These properties allow quartz to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, making it essential for accurate timing and signal processing in various electronic applications.

What is analog movement as apposed to quartz movement?
Analog movements can be either quartz or mechanical, but all digital watches have quartz movements. With respect to watches, an analog movement can be quartz or mainspring. Analog refers principally to how the time is displayed - by the use of hands. All digital watches have quartz movements, meaning the time is kept by the counting of pulses generated by a quartz crystal at a precise frequency, and displaying the time as digits. Analog watches are mostly digital these days also, using a quartz crystal to generate pulses, counting those pulses digitally with bit counters, then electrically triggering the mechanical movement each second (or equal portion thereof). Mainspring watches are all analog. They use a mechanical clock movement driven by a mainspring to move the hands. Accuracy is determined by the period of a hairspring flywheel spinning back and forth, allowing the movement to progress a fraction of a second with each half cycle. Automatic movements use an unbalanced flywheel to wind the mainspring automatically as the watch is worn and moved on the wearer's arm.
What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements in watches?
Automatic watches are self-winding ie. they need no battery and are wound by the slightest movement of the owner's wrist. Rolex invented the modern automatic back in the 1930s. A quartz watch is powered by a battery - it keeps time by pulsing electrical current through the tiny quartz crystal, which oscillates at a predictable rate and hence keeps very accurate time. Quartz watches can have either an analog dial with the traditional hands or have a digital display - or both.
