A watch movement (also known as a ‘calibre’) is what powers a watch to make its functions operate. This internal mechanism moves the hands and powers any complications such as a chronograph, annual calendar or dual time zone.
During my initial watchmaking workshops I learnt very quickly that there are numerous high end branded watches powered by movements made by third parties. Often the movement powering the watch can be purchased for a fraction of the price of the complete watch. ETA movements being one of the main manufacturers that can be found in a large proportion of watches.
During lessons we would often be tasked with seeking a particular movement to work on as a class and this would often lead to countless hours of research discovering which watches actually contained the specific required movement.
