There are plenty
of choices when it comes to watches. You can get a Quartz watch that is hassle
free and reliable for a cheap price versus a mechanical watch that will need
winding and regular servicing in order to maintain usability. However, why do
so many people still indulge in mechanical watches? Why spend the money a
motorcycle or car to buy people do not appreciate watch, or even dismantling
watch day and night and studying watches knowledge never tired of it? The
reasons are really many that for everyone are not the same; we may try to
explore several different angles.
The history of the mechanical men
sport watch go back to Peter (1480-1542). The number of parts
varies, but usually it has about one hundred and thirty parts or more. Some
mechanical watches record phases of the moon, keep a record of the date and
record time on a daily basis. People get mechanical watches which are made with
fine craftsmanship, aesthetics, and tradition. This type of watch is made with
wonderful precision by the craftsman who assembles the watch. Usually, mechanical
watches utilize energy from a wound spring. They keep time through a regulated
release of energy through the wheel train, which is a set of gears, and an
escapement. The components of the watch are all mechanical. One winding can
make the watch run for forty hours. There are some designs that will last for
eight to ten days on one winding. In order to keep a mechanical watch working
for a long time, it needs to be serviced periodically.
Sometimes, people
consider that the mechanical watch needs regular maintenance, its repair
techniques also need strict requirements, that doesn't like quartz watches
almost only stereotyped replacement parts. Collectors tend to like watches that
are somewhat more complicated as this creates an interesting look which is often
than not only unique to a particular watch. On the other hand, because of
mechanical watches have such as life and life on the similarity of many people
to produce a similar detail mechanical watch emotional, or even to their
children or lover-like feelings, nature and treatment of mass-produced quartz
watch, damaged disposable feel very different.
If you are a person who just needs a practical watch for everyday needs, a
quartz watch will meet all your needs but if you would like to maintain your
watch for a longer period and be able to retain a resale value for your watch,
you should look at mechanical watches.
