History, movements, industrial and Trivia will try to have some knowledge of watches for those who can not find them.â give an amateur in this field, and although I have no intention of writing a scientific treatise on this subject, I want information on the subject for those who know nothing of patches is not ideal for all watch lovers can maintain, which is the shortest mind.Basically story that can give the following . Watches started as a mechanical clock with gears and computer springs.The internal moving parts are met, the power of the watch is called movement.Clocks are great, and finally the size of pocket watches size.People, pocket watches reduced to that used years.They began a few hundred pieces of jewelry of royalty and the rich, but eventually filters down to pocket watches were the first ladies bracelets everyman.The items.Men late 1800s and the 20th century Do not be caught dead wearing a wrist watch, and is considered a woman item.Ironically, which was World War I, which was in the era of Lords clock announced wristwatches.The compact and could almost everywhere and the soldiers need to know to set the calendar for all types of emissions and the war and naval missions things.Eventually resistant diver's watch is also important aviators.Today born.They military, most watches water resistant to varying degrees, which, of course, to wash their hands can more deeply than any human being outside society submersible.Watches protection have traditionally been mechanical, composed of a small engine and energy supplies in the News Spring grandparents watch.Our recorded and performed some of our parents can see who remember life in time. variation of the mechanical clock is the clock automatically with the same type of movement, but with the addition of a weight on your back rotation, which rotates with the movement of the wrist, so always keep the wound while the clock is a mechanism that prevents automatic worn.There winding.Some clocks can be wound on the crown, and more, non-automatic type, which have integrated the same mechanism, where the wind can not even a crown.Older same mechanism is not, raise your hand does not work in security, and if you go when you meet resistance requires strength to break the clock and effectively, you must manually wound watches reparados.Los may be winding mechanical time day at the same time each day, no more chain survient.Ces types of watches were often broken, of course, in the hands of children who want to complete the wound bed, because they understand that only after liquidation.There certain types of manual winding mechanical watches, the only open air every week, but it was a short period of time selten.Es battery electric clocks were a vogue.These any type of quartz was supplied by a battery modern, such as quartz watches, but did not have the quartz crystal, but by other means outside the scope of this article.These watches on the market at the end of 1950 to 1970, where more the traditional mechanical hand-wound and automatic watches.The automatic watch with quartz has been marketed in Switzerland, invented in 1962, but the Japanese market only in 1969. It was a crisis in the Swiss watch industry was dominated and sounded the death knell for many Swiss and American mechanics firms.The Swiss quartz watch with their own models followed, but the Japanese giant Seiko, citizens and others is dominating the entire market of disposable batteries and cheap, even irreducible quartz watches.A continue to make a few mechanical watches for the serious amateur and companies such as IWC and Rolex, among others, never gave up mechanical watch, but sometimes its products models.You own quartz watches to see if the electronic and quartz were the first victims, who are representative of the new technology, and have been very popular, which had advertising Reason . Some, watch battery that could work in their own performance, not the carrier. They are also much more accurate than any mechanical movement be.It can hope for is a joke, and sometimes uncomfortable truth that quartz watches very cheap half keeps better time for a Swiss engineering timepiece.Those very cost us n have not may be useful to understand why someone with a less accurate clock for thousands of pay, but at this level, there are many other factors into account, we want to live wear.Mechanical watches a show Renaissance in the 1990s, which continues to day.While good quartz watches and other luxury goods Outsell on mechanical watches, mechanical watches industry as well. Most European companies are actually large conglomerates, the portfolio of watch brands in most of the great strengths of paraguas.S Swatch.Swatch "has many brands like Swatch, Omega, old American brand Hamilton and many Others. swatch watch also owns ETA, most Swiss watches, Swatch watches that not only can, but also many other brands are indépendantes.Il other small companies have started to Swiss watches for sale to other companies, but ETA is a big boy and he is very powerful because Swatch watches are for all participants in the Chinese market fact.Mechanical segments.The more or less close in the market for cheap Chinese clone watches syndicats.Les mechanics have Swiss movements (mechanics, small engine, making a mechanical clock) and own.They can be very expensive to produce by compared to European or even Japanisch.China plays on both sides of the industry. China is a place to go where the work of many watch companies cheap and legitimate businesses operating system expenses.This outsource a double-edged sword, as many Chinese have learned from their jobs outsourced to learn what is to construct and operate an ISO certification, etc. This is not only watches but all credit is contracted factories.To China, the Chinese are very intelligent and very shrewd.Unfortunately, many businessmen without scruples and officials of this knowledge to the task of not producing counterfeit items.Not China is very difficult to distinguish many of the real thing, fake watches, but even alters the mechanics inside, watches. There are differences between the operation and evil are not as good as the real thing, but some of them look almost as if I can not believe how I look and feel like the thing. It is true also of the opinion that many high-end Swiss watch manufacturers have been lax in Switzerland to outsource parts production as well as they can to the Chinese, and then make a number of laws in Switzerland by Swiss label.This use is not the case with any brand of Swiss watches, or any other, but many people out there using the Swiss watches will be surprised how much is actually on its Chinese watch. A Japanese man has made some external aspects of watchmaking with China and other countries such as Thailand, but do not have strict control over what they do and where. The Japanese are much higher than many Westerners realize.The Japanese Seiko watch industry big boys, Citizen, Casio and other small subsidiaries and watch others in the rest of the citizens and mercado.Seiko not only a dizzying array of quartz watches but a fair share of mechanical watches, watches not only many consumers mechanics well.Seiko quality, affordable, but have several layers of quality to go all the way to the Grand Seiko label that is up to Swiss manufacturer, such as Rolex, and voles match.Citizen price of a line that is operated by the quartz, but the watches are handmade and decorated assemblés.Les brand is painted on a very old craft tradition in a village that specializes in the cost of these watches each.Citizen art.The several thousand dollars has a subsidiary called Miyota, including the Swiss giant Swatch (ETA) and sold their movements to other companies as a device in your watches.Both ETA Miyota quartz and mechanical conduits movements.I know that jump a little, but there are many subtleties, so I had to explain the whole story and all the relationships that will not be an article but a livre.J 've also mentioned that not only works with a battery quartz watches, but a growing number of which are operated by rechargeable lithium batteries charged by solar energy through a material werden.Einige special dial, while others like the traditional mechanical movement of mass in the back of movement, just like mechanical watches automatic solar recharging wound.The popular quartz watches, Citizen Eco-Drive line, while Seiko kinetic rotational free online makes mechanical masses, especially the Russians, in the interests mentioned.The act.Russia Swiss watch industry has sold most of their machines to "clock in the Kremlin for a long time, and the Russians produce their own roots in Switzerland, but has developed a unique movement in Russia and watches the markets of Russia and the EU Soviet in Quebec until the collapse of the USSR, then Russia Union.Since watch industry has undergone some changes and mergers and the Russians are good performances privatizations.The difficult, but the parts are difficult to obtain and if you are prepared to have to return to Russia for repair when they break is in good condition, must take a long away.Germany clock manufacturing, but is now used in many Swiss companies in the movements of the ETA in Germany, except the top of companies having their own home operations.Again, there are so many individual situations that I get into a hobby and became here.You the watch of your time to learn all place clases.Para ordinary people who are not fans to see the Rolex Watch Company watchmaking.I the height of luxury just wanted to blow up a bubble.Rolex is big business, big watches. They cost several thousand chance of tens of thousands people to rise, precious metals and precious stones used in its production, but there are shops registered, manual work of art, as well as many luxury cars to produce cost-effective than the house. As the average person Indeed, there are watches that cost more than a million dollars or plus.Cela be difficult to tell the average person never thinks average pay more than $ 20 for a watch to tell the right time, but as with n 'matter what, means that many layers of this market once a man.One Honda, while some Lamborghinis.They entire unit from point A to point B. It's the same with watches and many other things. If modern and see if the bands are generally made of metal or metal are cheaper base plastics.Inexpensive, chromium or the outer layer, which usually disappears and the underlying metal anti-corrosion coating and green building with a sour odor when exposed repeatedly to the oils from the skin of the user and look under the metal surgical stainless transpiration.Bonne steel.For little more money you can get a high-tech look Titanium . Titanium metal air is much lighter than steel, but is stronger and less susceptible to corrosion by salt water and other Stoffe. It is also non-corrosive nickel, which is stainless steel and for those who still prefer the reactions of the skin steel steel.Some more human it is heavy in some way synonymous with the highest preference in the sense quality.Titanium like plastic, even if it's a real metal is stronger and more durable than steel.It is more fragile than steel, but the point is moot because it is not human. They break patterns of high-tech aircraft alloys.Some titanium steel watch is a little less than the stainless steel alloys such as stainless steel 904L, the Rolex is known that in their models of steel, called in saying more resistant corrosion and a little stronger than normal stainless steel surgical steel.I know at least one watch manufacturer, namely, the German company that uses a form of German submarines to hardened steel parts their horses and maybe even watch dress watches cases.Expensive also be made of steel, but with rising cost of precious metals like gold, platinum and other exotic aleaciones.Cristal protects the drive is crystal crystal crystal.Watch used to be plastic, or scratches can reap watches.Plastic acrylic.You easily recognizable, but easily polished with red polish and a rag or a crack sponge.Plastic if a unit can even be compromised way.Later The glass industry is much higher mineral which is very hard and unbreakable, but scratches easily.Most cheap watches are now equipped with mineral glass and many of you know, when they are scratches, must live with it or is it not only expensive replaced.Replacement watch.The crystal face other high-end watches, but shows more reached in mid-range level is montres.Il artificial sapphire Sapphire n ' is not as indestructible as the mineral crystal is virtually no proof.The only thing new diamond, sapphire can, or as I think Ruby. Be careful of diamond dust in the sand paper and masonry, though. Some skilled people can buff scratches mineral or sapphire, but it takes effort and knowledge how.For my money, I prefer watches with sapphire, but I have some cheaper models equipped mineral crystals.Most Seiko For example, of mineral crystals can be mounted, but are eager to see the big clock called a possession without a mechanical or Seiko several.I against all high-end machines in Switzerland and Germany for the pure life and set the toughness.Servicing typical battery quartz watch works in 3-5 ans.Dans some models with 10-year batteries and solar energy and kinetic energy, rechargeable lithium batteries for mobile use life of 40 years, but not last long enough to know if this is your real life or just watch the marketing hype.Mechanical, ie requiring the liquidation or, if you use the wind was 3-5 years ago that the focus should be sent for disassembly, cleaning and Schmierung.Abhängig brand watches can dollars.Well hundreds, costs, expenses, even though thousands stopwatch easy when it stops working or malfunctions, as it needs service.There was a these days when people gave a clock of life and repairing.Today is usually drugged to see the clock or the rich owners who are willing to put these costs, while most people do not pay a new battery installed in quartz clocks, or reject the clock Quartz una.Esta good not good news, and I wonder how many tons of batteries and launch our watches landfills.Think it.The more they do not want expected to pay for a good Chinese or Russian mechanics, if it can be very cheaply.There is the lack of compensation for expert mechanical clock, and must decide in many places, the owner sent over long distances to correct serviced.I added that the Japanese company Seiko is known for the construction of the pedestrian zone in the famous mechanical clock Seiko 5 lines, which have been known to spend 20 to 30 years without a service and remain time.This is acceptable one of the reasons that hosted the fans start. SummaryWatch have fun when people who know nothing about watches an old mechanical clock wound up, and are not intended to be broken, because the "work" or "The battery must be maintained must be replaced." Some of these people are old enough to remember when the clocks do not work on batteries, but have somehow forgotten a few days.I still hope for a jewel in the classification of parts to sell some gems to be found, but I have not had the opportunity to yet.I have stories that have been in some watch enthusiasts the ability to read, meet an old clock at a yard sale or garage and with a little restaurant is worth thousands of dollars, but in many cases, to sell the fans instead of running them.Collectors gamut. Some collect old watches.Some choose digital or stick of military diving watches. some of them with period pieces, while others prefer the latest works of art are very piece.Watches rich in history and some people may be taken to a simpler time, the volume of a reproduction history of an ancient war, time clock, or if they are lucky, a city well preserved hand originale.Certains low value items that, while other segments to make a living while restoring the ability to love, a life expectancy of a worthy introduction passion.I This was acceptable to watch and have succeeded in some of their most instructive to look to the batteries and throw trinkets. Maybe this will encourage you to go spend real money on a real time clock, can last a lifetime. …. .. .. ..
