9108.11 - With mechanical display only or with a device to which a mechanical display can be incorporated:

This HTS category, 9108.11, encompasses complete and assembled watch movements that are electrically operated and feature a mechanical display, or are designed to incorporate one. The defining characteristic here is the presence of a mechanical display mechanism, such as hands pointing to a dial, even when powered electronically. This distinguishes them from movements relying solely on digital readouts.

Category 9108.11 is differentiated from its sibling category, 9108.12, which covers electrically operated watch movements with an opto-electronic display only. Therefore, watch movements classified under 9108.11 will always have a physical, moving display, unlike those in 9108.12 which utilize digital segments or similar visual representations. Category 9108.19, "Other," serves as a residual category for electrically operated movements that do not fit the specific display criteria of 9108.11 or 9108.12.

Within 9108.11, further classification is made based on the presence of jewels. Subcategory 9108.11.40 specifically covers movements that have no jewels or only one jewel, often indicating simpler or less durable mechanisms. Subcategory 9108.11.80, "Other," encompasses all other electrically operated, mechanically displaying watch movements that contain more than one jewel, typically implying higher precision and wear resistance.
