2. Quartz watches worthless?
Quartz watches and mechanical watches which is better? Should have good or bad, regardless of the value, but also expensive quartz watches. Mechanical watches are also cheap. Generally speaking, the more ornamental mechanical watches, quartz watches and high precision, easy to use. To distinguish them, there are three methods. (1) see the sign, there will be automatic table AUTOMATIC letters, or letters SELF-WINDING, (2) look at the second hand operation mode, one second seconds to go dancing quartz watch, (3) whether or automatic winding Tuo rotation sound.
3. watch indicator
With hands and dial for indicating time, there are also windowed with numbers.
Window type used for calendar
The so-called “big calendar” are two windows, and you show ten dates.

6. The structure of zero chronographs
One of the complex structure operator chronograph watch

7. month phase display
Phases of the moon is actually a lunar calendar, the moon represents the cycle of loss and profit
The sun, moon stars celestial body is the most intuitive, but the phase of the moon and latitude.
8. Clockwork kinetic directions
Display watch winding elastic state, similar to the car fuel gauge
Long power usually watch more than 72 hours, usually 7-10 days, up to a month. Winding watch box long power or the number of multi-winding very long
This feature is useful
9. Watch jump when
One way to display the window hour, mash form commonly known as “Cyclops”, pointers, and the window.

10. The calendar watch
Four years a leap, it is one of the top calendar watches complicated watches, mechanical completion logic, identify large and small, a leap month
Perpetual calendar watches can also identify the points of the next century is a leap year
There are cross lines 1,2,3,4 dial
11. Tourbillon
Commonly known as “go around”, it is one of the complex structure of watches, ornamental, high value.
Pendulum Tourbillon window instead.

What is a Tourbillon? Escapement mechanism capable of rotating watch, this would need to have a cage to mount escapement, foreigners called “Carousel” (including Caruso agency)
The most complex is inclined or spherical.
A word “expensive”
12. The three-dimensional spherical tourbillon
The most typical product family
There are also multi-Tourbillon
13. functionality and complexity are characteristic of luxury watches
The watch is the most complex and sophisticated tiny products
Crafts also has aesthetic technology
Explain the Basics Knowledge of Watches
14. The hands of the watch and the disk
Luxury watches usually blue steel needle
The shape of the hands a lot, but there is a name and tradition, this is the famous “Breguet” needle. Sports watches pointer type generally stick, mostly military flight or sword-shaped.

It will pile all precious and surprising things to do
Enamel plate, hand-painting are very expensive
Iron meteorites do dial
Ceramics, Jennifer Wood, straw inlay, embroidery, etc.

16. Use the dial and the movement of the noble metal member
Dial at 6 o’clock with special markers, gold dial.
Platinum do automatic Tuo
17. The precious metal watch tag
With 18K gold, many colors, white, pink, rose.
Platinum is the most expensive, usually of PT950
Several precious metals mark,

Mark 18K gold case strap, strap usually play at a discount location
Different fineness of precious metals, has a different animal mark

20. Other steel case and bracelet
925 silver
Titanium metal
There are high-tech materials, tungsten steel, ceramics, forged carbon,
Most stainless steel. 316L, or 904
21. Three anti-function watch
Waterproof, a qualified watch must be sealed, resistant to 3 atmospheric pressure. Waterproof watch letters mark: After table cover, WATERRESISTANT
Typically there will be a water level of about 10 atmospheres are considered living water. There are several identification methods (1) water depth, such as 30M, (2) Pressure: 3ATM written or 3BAR
Pressure deep diving watches can be seen 600 meters,
Many waterproof watches value is the subject of blind, I could not believe
Table 22. Characteristics of regular diving
There are crown Shoulders
Big night before the next lap
There helium escape valve
The fastener head

23. The magnetic watch
High magnetic watch with a very useful.
Watch very susceptible to magnetism, causing sudden go fast, a few minutes a day.
Is a professional comprehensive demagnetization completed
English magnetic identification: ANTI-MAGNETIC
Rolex green glass, also known as “flash needle” 1000 gauss magnetic
High magnetic watch with a soft shield, wrapped movement.
The latest technology is against the magnetic techniques such as Omega 15000 + gauss
24. A magnetic shield
Watch movement is wrapped soft iron

25. dive watches
Dive watch case is very heavy, with more titanium, glass is very thick, a record is created by Rolex, dive over 10,000 meters, the table is a glass dome
26. A certified chronometer watches
Rigorously tested and qualified watch, can be marked Observatory certification, the letter identified as: CHRONOMETER, generally table position on the dial 6:00. Rolex, Omega watches, many have.
Individual affordable watches too.
Three temperatures. Under combinatorial testing five positions. Acronym COSC
27. The wearing of automatic watches most vulnerable
Travel time error is large.
Travel length is insufficient, stopwatch.
Automatic and waterproof watch are the most prone to ambiguity, the words too literally.
Lack of exercise, you must fill the hand chord chord.
28. With regard to the calendar dial needle restricted problem
Now watch, dial needle basically inverted.
When the speed dial calendar time, need to make sure the pointer moment, you should avoid working in the calendar mechanism, speed dial calendar
Similarly, for the week, calendar, moon phases and functions too.
29. Emergency smart watch watches
Some watches belong to the category Mobile Phone Accessories
Watches or watch satellite radio, there is timing, location, altitude and other functions
Emergency watches usually military, special forces commandos wear, can transmit 121.5MHZ signal reception range of 20 kilometers.
30. Jewelry Watches
One of the most expensive watches, precious metals and a large pile of diamonds

Also called skeleton watches, dew Rangzi watch, a lot of movement plywood full gold hand-carved chisel
32. outlandish watches
Gambling table
Golf table, you can record score
33. Alternative watch

Tech concept of the table, to overturn the traditional

34. Strap
Strap material many applications, basic metals and leather division.
18K gold precious metals is common, the best alligator leather.
Now tungsten steel, rubber, ceramics, silk, etc. are also common
