The Spring drive is majestic, and generally wonderful. Get one if you can, they make smashing dress watches. The tool watch side is a bit lacking for my taste (either too thick, or have massive pushers for the chronograph.)
However If you like "funky" movements, then I urge you all to check out this website here: https://electric-watches.co.uk/movement-types/ https://electric-watches.co.uk/movement-types/ (look at the drop down under movement types)
There are watches you can buy for less than $300 that are controlled by a tuning fork. A no fooling humming tuning fork. Not only that, they are pretty accurate and easy to look after even by modern standards. They have wheels that have teeth that are 0.037mm apart. Your hair is 0.060mm wide.
Then there are battery powered watches with moving balances. Then there are both styles with quartz regulators as well.
Now if you want something a bit more modern, and less electric, there are silicon balances https://frederiqueconstant.com/monolithic/ https://frederiqueconstant.com/monolithic/ which are pretty wild.
and finally plugging my own stuff: https://www.secretbatcave.co.uk/projects/electromechanical-clock/ https://www.secretbatcave.co.uk/projects/electromechanical-c... Which is a tuning fork controlled table clock using only discreet 7400 logic(more or less )
