From the dial to the movement to the buckle, the brand’s craftsmanship can be checked anywhere on the watch, where the brand can display its details.
The buckle is a seemingly ordinary part of the watch, but it plays an important role in wearing the watch — the strap is securely fastened so that the watch is worn on the wrist, so it can be worn on the wrist.
In the historical evolution of clocks and watches, the design of the watch buckle has not changed with the development of The Times.
Instead, it gradually settled down and appeared in watches on the market.

Of course, there are also many brands in its pin design with brand characteristics, such as and the pin is a very representative design, simply look at the buckle can identify the brand, is a very successful example of pin change.
Although a long history, there is still an immutable disadvantage, that is, a long time to pull and watchband needle hole fixed will cause damage to the watchband, and then must replace the watchband regularly.
Folding buckle is divided into bilateral folding and unilateral folding, from the beginning of the unilateral folding buckle explanation.
Folding clasp is to make up for the shortcomings of traditional pin-hole type strap and research and development, its biggest difference is the pinhole as part of the fixed strap, only use the pinhole to strap fixed, and the other end is metal folding clasp, every day just disconnecting move folding clasp can watch movement, the whole process, won’t make leather strap to cause friction,
Therefore, it can protect the surrounding buckle and leather watchband intact.
Because it has already been broken terrier with bilateral folding clasp, so had to explaination about the shortcoming of unilateral folding clasp, is unilateral folding clasp design itself has certain length, for small wrist too much would happen, in the process of adjustment is limited, just wear it will be loose, is both dangerous for wrist watch not beautiful also.
Table buckle type of bidirectional folding buckle is derived from the unilateral folding buckle, because the bidirectional folding design in the comprehensive spread out like a butterfly, so it is also known as the butterfly buckle, in Swiss watches, double press the bow buckle is the most widely applicable, no one.
The bow fastener improves the disadvantage of the aforementioned one-sided folding fastener and is no longer limited to a certain wrist size.
But because the bow buckle than unilateral folding buckle more parts, in the daily disassembly frequency is more prone to failure is relatively increased, and the double fold design also let the bow buckle than the general table buckle thick, is the disadvantage of the bow buckle.
Folding safety buckle is generally more common in sports watches, although used with the spring buckle folding buckle is very similar, but it increases the safety buckle protection system, the purpose is to prevent diving table diving into the deep sea will not be caused by mistake, so that the watch can be safely worn on the wrist.
