Default Quick question about watches.

What is it called when the second hand on a nice watch does not tick, but instead moves around continuously. I can't seem to figure out if this has something to do with quartz vs. mechanical movement. Can both of these movements do this and if so does it have a specific term?

I'm not exactly sure what that movement is called, but what I do know is that it will do a much better job of impressing the guys in the boardroom.

I suggest you get your title changed to 'Master of Pronouns'. Evan was obviously referring to the OP.
