Movement is an important part of the watch, is the soul of the watch.
Without the movement, the watch cannot function properly.
Watch movement which kind of good?
Today Xiaobian will do a combing and comparison of each type of watch movement, hoping to understand the table, buy some useful reference table friends.
Mechanical movement Mechanical movement is the most classic movement, it can be said that the table fans are basically mechanical movement of the “iron powder”.
Unlike quartz watches powered by batteries, mechanical watches are generally powered by a spring.
The winding way of mechanical watch generally has two kinds of manual and automatic winding, different from manual winding, automatic winding movement will have an automatic, it will rotate with the arm movement, and then continue to wind the movement.
Another point different from quartz watch is that the loss of mechanical watch is mainly the wear and tear of parts, if well maintained, you can almost always run.
However, the mechanical movement is relatively “delicate”, especially to pay special attention to the problem of “shockproof, antimagnetic”.
Some autonomous movements from luxury or top luxury brands, whether in the performance and complex functions of the movement, or grinding and sculpting and other aesthetic degree, are far better than those cheaper watches on the mechanical movement.
Quartz machine Quartz movement, made by W. A. Masson in the 1920s, was later put into production by Japanese company in 1969. Its low cost, high accuracy and more additional functions have become the first choice for people to buy watches, but also make mechanical watches that depend on labor and take a long time to receive a huge impact.
There is often a quartz oscillator inside the quartz movement, power will be in accordance with the established frequency of vibration, so travel time is very accurate, this is not any mechanical table can be compared.
But the quartz watch also has a disadvantage that can not be ignored, that is, the life of the quartz watch is usually only ten years, not always running.
Kinetic energy solar human kinetic energy movement light kinetic energy, solar energy, the kinetic energy of the human, such as movement, these movements are quartz movement “derivatives”, they will use solar energy such as light irradiation or people’s movement to store the power, because it is a quartz movement, so different from the automatic winding machine, this kind of watches are generally very convenient to use,
Of course, this is also the result of technological progress.
The above is a small series to introduce you to pay what kind of good problem watch movement, more knowledge please pay attention to.
