Three things
keep time.

The name isn't a slogan. Gravity, spring and pivot are what a mechanical watch runs on: take any one away and it stops.

I.

Gravity

An automatic watch winds itself by falling. A weighted rotor swings with every turn of the wrist, and that motion is wound into the mainspring. No battery, no charger, just you moving.

Spring

The mainspring stores the energy; the hairspring, a coil finer than a hair, lets it out in exact beats, several times every second. That's why a mechanical seconds hand steps rather than sweeps.

Pivot

Every wheel turns on a pivot no thicker than a pin, set in a synthetic ruby so it barely wears. Jewels sit at every point where friction would otherwise win.
