Do you have to wind up a quartz watch?
I have a friend that trying to sell me a watch. He says it is an antique Elgin pocket watch, but says it is a quartz watch. I haven't seen it yet but it say you have to wind it up. Is he possibly mistaken in saying it is quartz? Did they ever make a quartz watch that winded up it is that something you only had to do to watch with mechanical movements?
Winding is something you do with mechanical movements. Quartz movements run on a small battery.
He may be misled by the knob on the watch which is used to set the correct time.
You can tell if you see the watch operate. A quartz watch will advance the second hand in one second steps. A mechanical watch will tick and advance the second hand in 3 to 6 steps per second.

If you want to start a collection of beautiful objects, you can do a lot worse than look at antique watches.
If they have been looked after, good watches will last a long time.
There is also a ready supply of antique watches at auctions across the world. One such example if the highlight of the forthcoming wrist and pocket watch auction in Birmingham on Monday 22nd October.
An eighteenth century pocket watch is being sold by Fellows & Sons, and is valued at between £500 and £600: You can see the full catalogue here: http://www.fellows.co.uk/ShowAuction.asp?sAuctionNumber=909.
The pocket watch has an under painted horn and gilt metal pair case, with studded tortoiseshell bezel painted with a fern design.
The under painted horn depicts a Masonic all-seeing eye above a scene of a woman holding a baby. She has two children at her feet and is flanked by two further females in classical dress.
A key is needed to wind the watch. It has a white dial, black Roman numerals and has been signed by the maker William Collett of Uxbridge. The movement is Verge Fusee with baluster pillars.
