What are the different types of watches at Depancel ?

Depancel offers mostly automatic mechanical men's watches, but you'll also find mecha-quartz chronographs.

Mecha-quartz french watches for men

While quartz and mecha-quartz watches run on batteries, mechanical watches run on you!

Hand-wound mechanical watch

With a hand-wound mechanical watch, it's up to you to regularly wind the watch using the crown to re-energize the spring.

Automatic mechanical watches for men

For an automatic mechanical watch, in addition to manual winding, the oscillating weight (or rotor), which rotates permanently thanks to your wrist movements, enables you to continually wind the spring.
