The three main types of watch movement are electronic, manual, and automatic. 

Well-chosen watches add an instant touch of sophistication and polish.  While the market currently targets men to an obsessive degree, wristwatches’ popularity originated with Europe’s aristocratic women and are commonly worn by anyone needing an accessory that ties a look together with professionalism.
