Why did MÉU choose an automatic movement rather than a quartz or solar one?

When it comes to choosing the beating heart of a watch, there are several options: quartz , solar and mechanical movements. Each technology has its advantages, but at MÉU , the choice was obvious: to favor an automatic mechanical movement , in line with our values ​​of sustainability, responsibility and timelessness .

1. A battery-free movement for a more responsible footprint

Quartz and solar movements require electronic components and batteries or accumulators that have a limited lifespan. These elements must be replaced periodically, generating electronic waste , often non-recyclable.

Our watches are equipped with an automatic movement , which works thanks to the kinetic energy generated by the movements of the wrist . No batteries, no accumulators, no obsolete electronic components : just precise mechanical engineering that accompanies its wearer for a lifetime.

By reducing dependence on batteries, MÉU offers watches in line with more responsible and sustainable consumption.

2. Longevity and repairability: a watch designed to last

A quartz or solar movement can become irreparable once its electronic circuit is out of order or its accumulator no longer holds a charge. Conversely, a mechanical movement is designed to last , with components that can be maintained and replaced if necessary.

Our watches can be repaired and adjusted by a watchmaker, guaranteeing a much longer lifespan than electronic models . Far from planned obsolescence, MÉU advocates watchmaking that spans generations.

3. A more authentic connection to time

Wearing an automatic watch means choosing a more authentic watchmaking experience . Unlike quartz watches that work without intervention, an automatic watch lives at the rhythm of its wearer .

The movement of the wrist powers its mechanism, and the absence of electronics gives it a unique fluidity , perceptible in the continuous sliding of the seconds hand , very different from the ticking of a quartz.

Beyond precision, an automatic watch represents a more organic and emotional connection with time , a philosophy that we claim in its vision of watchmaking.

4. A technical choice in accordance with a requirement for precision

The automatic movements we have selected are renowned for their reliability, precision and robustness . Designed to be durable , they guarantee stable performance and require little maintenance.

A MÉU watch: more than an accessory, a commitment

Choosing an automatic movement means choosing a more sustainable, responsible and timeless watchmaking . By opting for this technology, MÉU remains true to its desire to offer watches that do not just tell the time, but that embody a lifestyle, a philosophy and a concrete commitment to the future .
