mainak12None of these are battery powered, but only some are automatic. Some of the watches are hand wind, but they are all mechanical.

mainak12Yes - this is a manual or hand wound watch.
The Metro is the first watch that Nomos used their Swing System escapement. The Swing System is a completely in house escapement designed by Nomos, which is a big deal for any watch company let alone one as small as Nomos was. You can read more about it in this link: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-nomos-metro-in-house-swing-system-escapement
The fit and finish of the watch added to the uniqueness of the movement is spectacular for this price.

mainak12All mechanical watches are more expensive then quarts or electronic watches because their movements are more intricate and complex
