Best Analog Watch To Buy That Doesn't Tick?

I have ADHD and minor details that are ostensibly innocuous to most, affect me quite palpably. That being said, all of the analog watches that I have come across make an audible *tick* *tick* *tick* sound that precludes my ability to focus. Are there any types of analog watches that I'm not aware of or any specific brands that do not make an audible *tick* sound with the second hand?

Thank you in advance.

get a watch with a mechanical movement. The second hand sweeps rather than ticks. you won't be able to hear it unless you hold it up to your ear.

Thank you for this. This is what I was looking for. I'll set out to find a mechanical movement analog watch for Oct. 6.
