What is the difference between a watch and a timepiece?
1 Answer
The difference between a watch and a timepiece has largely faded over time, with many people using the words interchangeably. However, the original meanings of the words are different. The term watch once indicated a timekeeping device worn on the wrist powered by a battery, while timepiece referred to those pieces with mechanical or automatic movement systems. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of vintage watches.
