The Guide of Buying A Watch - Style Choice

How to buy the watch ? In fact, this is even more senior watch fans sometimes confused the issue , with the economy , aesthetic awareness , brand concept , consumer level and grade changes , each watch will have their choice of fans more or less doubt . Based on these considerations, the watch summarizes the many lessons lost friends , buy a new watch to provide the basic selection method , here , we only make some brief , but still feel fear , suspicion , after all, misleading . If fans thought fit , and let the watch be confirmed , it is the best , if inconsistent with the idea of watch fans , it really is to the readers to correct me .


The choice of style
On the choice of watch styles , everyone has different ideas , very subjective . Here I only provide some information and advice , and can not really replace the final choice of consumers .

1 . Watch paragraph style : Each brand has its own style, such as PANERAI ( Panerai ) fashion face plates, special lugs and 44 mm in diameter ; such as Breitling (Breitling) complex surface plate and bezel , and Flight characteristics of movement ; such as product family (Jaeger LeCoultre) thin movement , turning the case and so on .

Among the many styles of watches with its own in how to choose their own ? Very simple, two methods, namely, personal preferences , and second, to compare trying on in-kind . Most of the watches design also takes into account the different industries and different types of consumer groups , such as SWATCH most popular on the market to cheap materials and a variety of styles the major consumer groups, young people , and elegant cautious of flying disc for many white-collar OMEGA Acceptable to the different styles for different user styles .

In style , you can choose according to their own conditions matching watches , such as identity , occasion , dress , use , etc. , will influence the choice of models in the watch.

2 . Watches features : For users who watch , watch is to look at the time, can function without regard to watches . But with the deepening of understanding on the watch , most fans would choose a different functional form of watches.
If not to the complexity of the movement to points , and points to models of function , often a dive watch , flight watch, the military form , fashion models watch and ordinary watch . Recently, the dive watch as outstanding designs and excellent waterproof performance by watch fans of all ages , frequently see ROLEX ( Rolex ), OMEGA ( Omega ), PANERAI ( Panerai ) and so comparison of diving watches ; In addition, the military watch as black dial , special pointers , solid case has been welcomed by the watch fan ; The flight form is characterized by complex bezel and chronograph timing functions , although the flight watch fans wearing mostly did not Will fly a plane , but the complex is also well sought after watches .

Overall, the watch style varied, as long as their favorite styles have the choice, there is no absolute law of the above text is the voice of experience , some of the ideas and trends with the change of fashion can all be overthrown at any time . Still remember the phrase : Money can not buy I will ! Very deep !

The Guide of Buying A Watch: Quality Choice

How to buy the watch ? In fact, this is sometimes even the relatively more senior watch fans confused the issue , with the economy , aesthetic sense, brand concept , consumption level and grade changes, each watch will have their choice lost more or less doubt . Based on these considerations, many Biao fans summarized lessons learned friend , bought a new watch to provide the basic choice of methods , here we only have a brief introduction , but still feeling uneasy , after all, mislead the suspect. And watch fans thought if allowed to be proved consistent , that is the best , if inconsistent with the idea of watch fans , it really is to the readers to correct me .

In the previous issues have been resolved, the next step is to begin to provide the kind of inspection staff .

1 . Accuracy : Large watch stores all have basically the exact watch some degree of testing equipment , able to do so can be measured on the machine in the shop look away , you can choose a Xiangdui more accurate time watch .

2 . Appearance : The main case is whether the observed wear scar and the bump signs ? If there were impurities in the surface ? Friends like to wear leather strap strip watches can ask whether the convenient replacement of belts .

3 . Pointer : pull your head tone , to see the hour and minute hands at 12 o'clock position is important when combined with twelve standard aligned .

4 . Head : If the screw head , can screw loose , to see if the phenomenon of sliding wire ?

5 . Calendar : You can try if the calendar near the jump in scale when transferred to 12 o'clock .

6 . Annex : Determine license complete box , along with instructions and related accessories , and asked for invoices .

7 . Warranty : Ask warranty period , whether to provide global services and other related issues.
Conclusion

For the senior watch fans , " Order Form Guide Series " may seem wordy up . After all, sometimes the watch to buy is to buy a like . Perhaps because like , you can ignore the price , you can ignore the style , you can ignore the brand , can be ignored......However, if you want a rational consumer , get a reasonable price , right style , then the number of " Order Form Guide Series " is a little reference for the novice it.

New Model Automatic Movement

ETA movement factory in 2002 , announced in 2005 the movement to stop the supply of plants for a watch outside the group , although later the Swiss Federal Fair Trade Commission after the coordination , ETA will continue to provide movement to other watch factory , but in 2010 Years will be reduction to 25%, and raise prices. The news has shocked the altar watch, but watch for the real plant , this news is nothing but speed up the Watch Factory R & D movement speed, so a few years ago in the Swiss Watch Fair , the major factories have introduced new Self- movement, we will first introduce the following two widely-watched of the new movement : namely, the Earl of 800P series automatic movement with Haojue watch RD77 series automatic movement , the two form the introduction of plant variety are invariably made Movement, to meet consumer demand , but also on behalf of both have strong research and development.

PIAGET count 800P self-winding movement Diameter : 26.80 mm Thickness : 4.00 mm Stone Number : 25 frequency : 21,600 times per hour, (3Hz) Power reserve : 72 hours

Although the drilling watch the watch count is known , but the mechanical movement of production , the plant compared with other high-level watch , of course, refused to give as early Cal.12P automatic movement , and now the 500P automata Core , are essentially good automatic movement . And Piaget 's latest 800P series automatic movement, from all appearances, the most notable is the beautifully engraved plate automatically count family family crest , and the screw balance wheel design . Earl made the previous movement, even 600P Tourbillon movement , and no use of screw balance wheel , perhaps the watch factory understand mass screw balance wheel for the charm is irresistible , so specifically with the design, running Added a few old-fashioned , I believe that many fans would agree that the design of the watch . Fengyun movement used across the bridge -type balance sheet , with full overlay plywood , so you see are the balance wheel and escapement , not a glimpse of the operation of other gear , but large areas of plywood was more conducive to grinding modification The beauty of the whole show.

 While this dual- winding movement and case design, power reserve up to 72 hours , weekends lifestyle for now , this set can be described as the best choice , but also scattered over a large winding torque to ensure the movement operation Accuracy . In addition, most special thing is the way the chain , the structure and precision of high-performance bar on the chain is very similar to the use of a push a pull mode , the winding on the full chain, when the automatic plate in a small range of swing of the situation Under the more general terms on the chain will have better results , more suitable for those wearing Piaget , but very few great men walking.

 Founded in 1995 Piaget watch , has just gone through the first decade , but the movement produced its own kind , many watch factory in Switzerland , but among the best . Piaget watch published in 1998, RD28 Shan button timing movement , and RD98 hand chain based movement, from almost every year after the publication of new works to Piaget watch size and financial resources for the development of this out effort Own movement, as compared to other watch factory , is described as a heterogeneous , but also appreciated by many players , such as Piaget watch published RD77 new movement, and RD78, RD79 time movement.

 Left RD77 self-winding movement , timing chain, shown here RD78 Automatic movement Diameter : 31.00 mm Thickness : 4.00 mm (RD78 5.65 mm) Stone Number : 29 (RD78 36 stone ) Vibration frequency : per hour 28,800 (4Hz) Power reserve : 48 hours

One of the major RD77 movement, following the publication of Chopin 's LUC1.96 mini- plate movement , the watch altar, the latest mini- plate movement . However, micro- RD77 movement with automatic plate movement in the past different , RD77 larger size also thickened , although the loss of the original mini- disc movement mental , but with the large size watches , but more suitable . Another use of platinum micro- automatic plate material , the chain effect will raise many , put aside the past, the same type of movement on the chain suffers from . Automatic Chronograph movement of other two RD78 , RD79 double- needle time tracking movement , the movement is in the top of the module with time . Perhaps fans will recall the familiar watch , published in 1969 in the history of an automatic movement Cal.12, is the same structure , but because the mini- disk hide under , so first glance , would that be on hand Chain movement, but the RD78, RD79 disk obviously exposed automatic movement , the consumer would not have the same question . This three movements are given Geneva Seal certification, the highest representative of the quality movement , and the unique value,

The Movement of A Watch and It's Important Conformation

The one constant of human need that everyone recognized units of measurement and endless , and finally , select a basic unit in seconds . Seconds back to the Sumerian culture to use as early as 4000 years ago, the Sumerians had begun using six decimal count system . Nature of the timing unit is the Earth's speed of rotation of the week, time spent is divided into 24 hours , an hour into 60 minutes , 60 seconds per minute , a day there are 1440 minutes , which is 86400 seconds . Now the world's use of official time , the so-called standard time , in Paris, France by the Board authorized the calculation of international time , all clocks are to it as the standard . In fact , emerging from the watch the day , how to form " quasi- go "- as accurately as possible reflect the time clock has become a basic direction for the industry .


The original watch is not accurate , one hour one day difference is quite normal things , but today, a high quality mechanical watch every day the error is between 2-5 seconds . Excellent quartz watch is a month to appear the same error , as to the accuracy of cesium clock higher , 30 years before a second error .

Watch how the accuracy of their good or bad the quality is very important , and watches in addition to the quality of materials and external decoration , the key depends on whether it has a heart design , fine workmanship, perfect mosaic of heart - movement . An authentic name factory watch - such as a price of up to 500,000 yuan of the complex function watch , with a price of 50-80 yuan only ordinary mechanical watch what the difference? Can be said that the difference between them like a fisherman's hut and the magnificent castle.

An ordinary watch about 90 to 120 parts, are manufactured and mounted by the machine can display hours and minutes , some seconds or even weeks, the date can be displayed . Those prices range from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, multi-function watch , the most available time watch . Watch the operation of built-in two separate parts , a set of display time , another set of Zeyi measure the length of the measurement from one moment to another moment experienced by the middle of the time . Watch in about 200 blocks of parts, operating independently , and to promote the hours, minutes , seconds of unrelated parts . The most famous , the most precious "complex menu " , the internal structure of precision , there are parts about 1400 .

Each watch in the heart of the complex are five components

Drive parts: gossamer winding , is a thin spiral steel , length is 20-60 cm in thickness can only be from 00.5 to 0.20 mm , curled hidden in a gear chain plate.

Communication parts: gear drive system , a group of gears , each of which are installed in the shaft , large or small, rod , gear tooth is connected to transmit power to the escapement device and display the time portion.

Accept the part : the escapement . It created what then about the pulse of the power distribution to the balance wheel , balance wheel regularly to vibration .

Some adjustment : the balance wheel . It swings back and forth rhythmically , the average division of a period of time , adjusting gear drive system of rotation , to ensure the normal operation of watches .

Show parts: the time display . Including the dial and pointer .

The five parts of the operation is good or not depends on whether the parts were precision manufacturing , assembly effort must be absolutely accurate , must not have the slightest deviation . The least bit of difference , huge mistakes. Slight flaw can undermine the accuracy of the watch and even called the whole watch just stop working .

"Multi-functional watches " The movement is the watch design and manufacturing technology and sophisticated technology for superb the only show outside of time , it is focused on a variety of other functions . Such as moon phases and seasonal display and can set the hour , every 15 minutes the alarm report for a calendar , etc. . The structure of this form dense , its design is like a house , a cascading style . The bottom is the dungeon , is the time device , display hours, minutes , seconds; second is the newspaper to play spring device design sophisticated models can be hourly, every quarter of an hour , every five minutes the newspaper , even after each quarter of an hour -by- Points timekeeping . Movement from the 1400 to 1800 parts, individual one-thousandth of millimeter size have been the top chefs in each part of the cutting, polishing , and Zhuo -made .

On technology , science and technology and manual skills , the world is only a few European equipment Zhuzhong clock factory set conditions , can produce a few watches . Looking at the industry today , know how to make these " complicated menu " of the craftsman . Fewer than 100 . The skilled craftsmen create a tabulation of such movement, generally take six to twelve months .

Tourbillon is the most sophisticated manufacturing process watch , one of the most innovative devices , is one of the most accurate masterpieces . Collection of escapement device , the center part of the hidden part of the regulation . Known as the " watchmaker King "and" King Queen watchmaker "the reputation of Swiss Wembley cover , designed in the 1791 tourbillon . 80 years of the 20th century , complicated watches and features a mixture of tourbillion watch , so to add a feature . Naturally, only very expensive watches will be fitted with it.

" transparent watch " may be said to watch the peak of the design , the watch panels and plywood are not sealed -style , looks as if all parts of the hair only by very finely linked , how storage and transportation device rotation , pendulum How wheel vibration, and how the escapement bar before and after the swing , etc. , are clear . This wonderful design , people seemed to see the pulse of life within , and awareness to a world of secrets , not help Jiaoren amazing.

What kind of watch is the " Swiss made "

What kind of watch is the " Swiss made " , which is has very strict requirements .

Swiss watch industry of world-class reputation in large part from its stable quality and reliable performance , another generation with the wisdom and sweat on behalf of Carpenter won the honor . Swiss watch industry, the brand and origin of the use of signs attached great importance to make famous brand effect and the "Swiss made" appeal complement each other , to provide consumers with the best quality assurance. However, the "Swiss made" flag for the Swiss watch industry to add luster to the same time, it also inevitably trouble - "Swiss Made" watch the world marks the industry one of the most stolen . Counterfeit products cause serious damage to the Swiss watch industry , not only affects sales , but also damages the image of Swiss watches . According to estimates, the loss of up to 800 million Swiss francs a year .

Protection of "Swiss made" signs as the important task of the Swiss watch industry in Switzerland watch the efforts of the Association , Switzerland August 28, 1992 established " trademark and logo of Origin Protection Act " to strengthen the product of a civil violationAnd criminalPunishThe intensity of punishment , the Swiss Customs also import, export and re- watch the implementation of more stringent control. Year , the development of the Swiss Watch Association " watch class 'Swiss' logo to use regulations " on the "Swiss made" and related marks made the use of detailed requirements:

Swiss : Swiss , " watch class 'Swiss' Identity Manual "and the provisions of paragraph 1 , only the following three conditions before use in the appearance of "Swiss made", "Swiss" or the other with "Swiss "in the expression Way, namely: the movement of the Swiss production ; assembled in Switzerland to complete; producers to complete the final inspection in Switzerland .

Swiss Movement : According to the " watch class 'Swiss' logo of Use " provisions of paragraph 2 , of the Swiss movement is defined as: completion of the movement assembled in Switzerland ; movement to complete the final inspection in Switzerland ; addition to installation charges , the movement Original price at least in Switzerland accounted for 50% of the original price . If the movement is Swiss made and the entire watch not assembled in Switzerland , the " Swiss "logo can only appear in the movement of a component. Appearance on the watch only allows the use of "Swiss Movement "(" mouvement suisse " or "Swiss movement") words . " watch class 'Swiss' Identity Manual "and the Clause 3 provides that " the movement "must be a complete spelling and can not be used for short , and must be in front of the "Swiss "is using the same font, size and color.

"Swiss Quartz "(" Swiss Quartz ") sign: Swiss origin of the watch can use this flag , the other using a non- Swiss quartz movement Swiss watches are not authorized to use .

"Swiss Original "(" Swiss parts ") sign : When the watch movements used in the original production and assembly of Switzerland finished in a foreign country may use this flag . But it can only appear in the movement , in any circumstances can not be used outside the watch .

" watch class 'Swiss' Identity Manual " published in 1992 after the implementation date, in maintaining the reputation and image of the Swiss watch play an important role. But recently, "Swiss made" re- mark the use of standards has been proposed, and the Swiss watch industry to become a hot topic .

Swiss Watch Association will be June 28, 2007 plenary session at the Association to further strict "Swiss made" a new program using a standard vote . The program mainly deals with the Swiss watch and its movement : watch , the mechanical watch at least 80% of manufacturing value should be completed in Switzerland , electronic watches at least 60%. In addition , technology and sample design should be carried out in Switzerland . Movement , the composition of at least 80% of the value of the components should be completed in Switzerland , the electronic movement of the rate of 60%.

Above , technical and samples should be designed in Switzerland . Program also parts of Switzerland and the Swiss assembly were provided . Introduced a new program is designed to protect the "Swiss made" brands . The new program will not only affect the overall interests of the Swiss watch industry , but also involves other countries in the world watch industry cooperation. Swiss mid-range watch and ordinary watch plant parts are from Hong Kong and other Asian origin , if the increase of the "Swiss made" use of standards , then they can use more parts of Switzerland produced , production costs will be higher.

Basel World Watch and Jewellery Fair Exhibitor Committee Chairman , Vice-Chairman of the Swiss Watch a recent interview with Mr. Jacques • Dixie En Switzerland " Weekly " magazine , says that some of the main business of the Swiss watch purchase from the Asian assembled into "Swiss made" product , The development of the entire Swiss watch industry has brought harm , this situation can not continue . In 2006, Swiss watch exports to 13.7 billion Swiss francs , 80 % of high-end watches . High-end watches will lead directly or indirectly , the low watch in the international market sales. The new " Swiss made " standard will encourage companies to watch in outside plant to return to Switzerland, to promote economic development in Switzerland . The current "Swiss made" more vulnerable to the standard so high-end generic watch . It is estimated that the global annual total of 4 10 million counterfeit Swiss watches , Swiss watches and the authentic production of only 25 million . Genuine form of production have been seriously affected . Mr. Jacques • Dixie En will be in July 2007 with the economy minister to visit China and Vietnam , with the two governments to discuss the problem of imitation watches.

How to Identify The Quality of Watches by Common Consumers

With the warming of the consumer market watches , watches have been out of simple timing functions to show a personal taste and a status symbol by the growing number of consumers love and favor . But these, a large part of the consumer knows very little about watches . So here we are, will you tell us something about the basic knowledge and how to watch a simple differential clock quality.


1, classification and main characteristics of watches

Watch now divided into two categories: mechanical watches and quartz electronic watches .

(A ) mechanical watches

(1 ) General Mechanical Watches

(2 ) calendar , dual calendar mechanical watches Mechanical watches + calendar = general body or two calendar institution .

(3 ) Mechanical city clock , pendulum clock , wall clock and so on .

(4 ) Automatic watches = ordinary watches + automatic body

(5 ) calendar automatic watches ordinary two- calendar watch or a pair of calendar + calendar + Auto body body

(6 ) multi-functional complex watch : In addition to the calendar , or double calendar and automatic , there are stop seconds , the stars , moon phase , leap year , month , month, ranging from functional

Main features:

(1 ) movement most of the metal pieces .

(2) The vibration system is generally balance springs , vibration frequency is generally 18,000 times / time ~ 28 800 times / when that pendulum swings per round springs component 5 to 8 times ; very small number of watches with the vibration frequency of 36,000 times / hours ; clock and pendulum floor clock with gravity as a vibration system, 1 per swing .

(3) The low frequency , travel time less accurate than quartz electronic watches .

( 4) power with Clockwork , elastic components, made of stainless steel , using hand or automatic article body article body a wound , the winding of the elastic potential energy into kinetic energy ; winding relax, the elastic Potential energy into kinetic energy , the supply balance springs component in the oscillating process of energy loss , and guarantee a certain swing .

(5 ) quartz watch more than the total number of parts . Ordinary mechanical watch about 130 or so ; calendar or two calendar automatic watch about 200 . Many and complex machining operations , about 1000 ~ 1500 .

(6 ) difficulty of assembly and maintenance of larger than the quartz electronic watches

(B ) quartz electronic watches

(1 ) Analog quartz electronic watches : time that the same way as mechanical watches can also add a calendar or calendar and other features double .

(2 ) shows the type of electronic quartz watches : time representation with the figures show that more features can be arranged .

(3 ) Hybrid quartz electronic watches and clocks : a mixed quartz electronic watches and clocks, electronic clocks + quartz = pointer display type quartz electronic watches . The two movements together , each in common with a battery or a battery , instructions and figures to show the time pointer .

Main features:

(1 ) systems use crystal oscillators . Vibration frequency is generally 32 768 times / sec

(2 ) travel time and high precision : day and generally 0.5 seconds or 15 seconds / month; precision years and poor in 1 ~ 2 seconds .

(3 ) movement can design and manufacture of small thin : minimum movement of 3.5 orders; thinnest movement is 1.2 mm .

(4 ) less movement parts , Analog quartz electronic watches mechanical watches is about 30% ; show -style zero- less quartz clock and watch , no metal transmission parts , only a few buttons , spring and screws .

(5 ) Energy Batteries : chemical batteries and physical batteries .

(6 ) assembly and maintenance more convenient.

2, the composition and role of the clock

Watch the movement and appearance of two parts :

Movement - the body produces accurate time , structural diversity . Different brands of watches and clocks using different or the same movement ; even the same movements , different brand , select quality indicators movement is also different. Watch the world producing countries move towards standardization, standardized , serialized , there is a professional factory producing movement brand watches for the production plant ; only a few brand-name watches for manufacturers , has a long history of maintaining a unique style , still with a self-made movement . Movement is also not allowed to take-away , to prevent counterfeiting phenomenon.

Appearance - the movement to protect the user wear normal work and includes the use of drum shell, the back cover , handle first , dial , pointer ( display ), strap, mix them together in beautiful, durable. Watch more requirements for dust , water , or sealing .

Identification of watches and shoddy goods

Modern clocks are precision machinery industry and microelectronics industries crystallization . Polish brand watches in the world , the less there are thousands . According to their quality and price points , is that high , medium and low categories , but also really well-known within the hundred . Currently displayed name brand watches have been 1 to 2 years of history .

1 , brand counterfeiting :

Generally occurs in high-grade fake brand name brand , because the availability of high profits . In trademarks, the original studio pieces of letter products , manufacturing was the same, rough look impeccable . With packaging, manuals, birth certificate and complete everything . But the watches and brand selection is not supporting the movement , or poor grade parts selection . Lower cost of production of the brand . Often in internal sales , prices are much lower than the original brand , but still highly profitable. In some watches do not detect sound irregularities in the city and shopping malls have sales , allowing users to suffer great loss surgery . In the domestic market once there fake Rolex , fake radar, watches and other false FIYTA .

2 , the appearance of counterfeit items

At present the appearance of items in the watch in the proportion of high prices . If the French production of " Cartier " watch , price 3.52 million yuan . Xiang natural diamond , 36 carats, 60,000 yuan per carat basis, the optical coordinates of the more than 200 million diamonds . Therefore, the appearance of counterfeit items should be reproducible , mainly the following aspects:

(1 ) natural diamond factory , artificial diamonds, diamond (glass drilling ), etc. to identify and counterfeiting : all objects of natural diamond factory is the most hard , as 10 hardness ; man-made diamonds one of 8 to 9 ; diamond ( Glass drilling ) than the hardness of natural and man-made diamonds is low, and fragile . Artificial diamonds and diamond prices are cheap , each piece is only 0.1 to 0.2 yuan . Therefore, the purchase of plants with natural diamond watch , be sure to pay attention to authenticity was not to fall for . Testing when necessary to the relevant departments .

(2) K gold plating , gold plating acid identification and counterfeit : K gold, gold-plated , gold -plated surface of acid yellow colors are not easy to distinguish , but also easy to fake . If K gold shell : have 10K gold , 14K gold , 18K gold and other differences , in the absence of case detection equipment is difficult to distinguish . Some even pretend Dou K gold plated shell shell . In addition, the gold shell thickness of the plating layer is difficult determination . 3 -micron gold-plated watch some marked , not the actual even 1 micron , watches, more than a year using a gold to black , with rust in the ability to lose , so the user in the purchase of gold watches should explicitly ask , because the mall You Provisions do not guarantee the appearance . Of course the expensive gold K shell will not dare to counterfeit, but the proportion in gold than have others.

(3 ) fake glass watch : Watch currently in use , as described earlier , there are three glass : glass , ordinary quartz glass, sapphire crystal glass . Confusing and difficult to distinguish the quartz glass and sapphire crystal glass . Both in quality and price vary widely . Sapphire crystal glass was once known as " never wear glasses " , now changed to " hard to wear glasses . " Its price is about ten times the conventional quartz glass , so only high-grade watches in the middle of rock crystal with Lan Fu . Sales over the past fake Rolex , the watch glass into ordinary quartz glass . Ordinary quartz glass and sapphire crystal glass in the absence of equipment can be used when testing a simple method to determine : Keyong drop of water on the watch glass plane, then to them an up , where the water was not dispersed by a small ball for the sapphire crystal Glass .

3, movement of fake and shoddy

Movement has produced the world's state of Switzerland , Japan, China and other countries. According to the movement of production and sales , from the brand with the tribute to determine the counterfeit watches .

(1) Where the imported Swiss watches , which uses the movement must be a Swiss production . Used in machine movement is found in Japan , China or other countries produce movement, the watch is fake and shoddy goods .

(2 ) the import of Japanese watches , which uses the movement must be produced in Japan . The movement is found for the Swiss , China or other countries produce movement, the watch is fake and shoddy goods .

(3 ) domestic production of watch movements used in very complex , with Switzerland , Japan, and domestic movement, key in the selection of pretending to watch the movement of some shoddy sale , shoddy , Mongolia cheat consumers .

4 , to prevent counterfeiting and safeguard the interests of consumers

China's accession to WTO , the countries followed by the production of watches a lot of channels to enter the domestic market more competitive , should take effective measures to resist the invasion of fake and shoddy goods , reduce the risk of purchasing quality products . The following aspects must be strictly controlled to prevent counterfeit and shoddy goods, safeguard the interests of consumers .

(1 ) control supply channel and product quality of domestic production enterprises

(2 ) to strengthen the market supervision of product quality watches and clocks , regular testing or specialty store watch commercial sound products , announced the quality of sampling , and to inform the production and business units , failure of Kushiro on the watch limit or prohibit the sale of straighten out .

(3 ) receiving consumer complaints about the quality watches made of quality accreditation and the quality of notary .

Consumers to protect their own interests on the authenticity of the purchased goods with suspicion or mistrust of Quality Supervision, Inspection clocks can be detected to stop and issue inspection certificates.

Chronometer：Observatory Watch

" Observatory Watch (Chronometer) ", which is when you watch high-level contacts will encounter a word . Many people feel inscrutable face of this title , and even directly from the literal meaning : those who have been called the " chronometer " watch should be the world's major Observatory scientists wear extremely accurate travel time professional with a watch , even with some Function of the reach of ordinary people . In actual fact, in the field of watches , diving watch , air watch, car watch , etc. is really to divers , aircraft pilots , driver development to meet their special needs of watches , these watches in a waterproof , anti-magnetic , strong sex and time functions Has a unique design , and " chronometer " but with those large telescopes have no connection whatsoever with the unit.
Observatory watch with a slightly specialized vocabulary - " Observatory certification " this is the thing, and a Swiss watch factory specifically for the detection of the major official organizations of the clock accuracy , the acronym for the COSC.

Observatory to obtain certification , every movement must be in the COSC 16 days of 24 hours to accept three kinds of temperature and 5 positions of the test . Testing and evaluation of the project include: the average daily speed, average speed of change, the maximum speed changes, the speed difference in different locations , the biggest difference in speed , temperature values , sustained speed of 7 .

Stringent testing by the agency 's watch movement that is " chronometer movement , " and can be marked on the dial to the glory of "Chronometer" words , the watch boxes are a beautiful certificate. More is now in the form of sampling that is representative of each of a batch by a qualified ; in the history of rigorous testing and, moreover, often organized COSC precision race walking . Early years , the Patek Philippe (Patek Philippe) has won many awards in this competition .

But to know that as long as the daily error of mechanical watches +4 ~ -6 seconds in between the compliance , because of its 99.99% accuracy consistent with the norms . Like a Rolex (Rolex) can form on the watch is usually poor control in two seconds , is the world's one of the most accurate mechanical watch , so an accurate chronometer mechanical movement is relative, if the demanding accuracy of the watch , Quartz or atomic clocks, many times stronger than the mechanical watch , but also lose the great charm of the mechanical.

Rolex Watch

Swiss watch industry 's classic brand, "Rolex" the company's predecessor is "W & D" company . By the Germans and the British Davis Khan Swails Randolph in 1905 in Renton partnership . 1908 , Wise Randolph Laxiadefen registered in Switzerland , " Rolex "trademark , "W & D" thus to " Rolex . " Rolex was the first sign of a stretched fingers of the hand , it means that the brand of watches entirely crafted by hand . Later evolved into a registered trademark of the crown , to show their dominance in the watch area .


20th century 20 's, Rolex company developed the first fully waterproof watches only . In 1926, Rolex 's water watch formally registered. Rolex watch design has been the spirit of " serious , practical , no significant flashy " loved by all walks of life the first HKSAR Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa , a long-term wear is also a dignified Rolex steel watch .

Rolex watch company's website in a number of sites belonging to the company the leader in home seventies music is a very popular old songs in the United States , sub- page with the tide sound , included in the FLASH , the Rolex business miracle with the same Web site also shows good style commercial operators .

The Brilliant History of Breguet Watches

Breguet (Breguet) for many years been synonymous with the Swiss watch of the most important in recent years , after a corporate restructuring , and the 250 anniversary of the global marketing network consolidation, are ready to begin reconstruction of past glorious history.


Breguet watches, glorious history

Abraham . Lewis . Breguet ( 1747-1823 ), born in Switzerland, Neuchatel, since the age of 17 , started making watches in Paris , and soon , his talent and ability to flourish in the invention , the cost may reveal its edge , and Arts advocates were then appreciated by King Louis XV of France .

1775 , Breguet opened its first watch shop in Paris . Because he has deep knowledge of mechanical , on the watches unique features and extraordinary technical talent , so when he attracted the best craftsmen of interest , to join the sects , and in his good pedagogues training talent , his rich Imagination can come alive as a moving piece of good works .

Breguet watch design and manufacturing , product diversification , regardless of watches , clocks and clock nautical design Jiangxinduju , made him known as the altar in the watch the most outstanding figures .

Breguet watch industry in the excellent results achieved from the start has become an overnight success , soaring to new initiatives , for example, was launched七八○ automatic watch (Perpetuelle), and then the invention significantly reduce the width of the watch from the Ming spring ring the bell And watch the world first shock device (Pare-Chute), so watch it no longer easy to damage the peripheral , more reliable performance .

Breguet watches a strong French King Louis XVI and Queen Marie . Anthony appreciation , with innovation and continuous improvement of mechanical lever or cylinder escapement -type device, the neo-classical style is very cost effective. Breguet design of the clock near the end of a hollow dot Department (known as "Pomme" hour hand , and just as " Breguet clock ") , the enamel surface more elegant figure. As for the case of gold , silver dial as well as the subsequent manually are carefully crafted to engraving machine made , is available from the watch case has been the most delicate thin .

In 1795 , launched a large number of new inventions , new creations , including Breguet balance spring end loop ; Force of the Secretary -line wheels ; sold to Napoleon's world first baggage clock ;

Souscription watch ; can adjust the time Sympathique watch the recess bell ; able to rely on touch to know the time of the "Tact" watch ; and in八○一年patented tourbillon standard account .

Astronomical clock in the navigation area , Breguet made a significant offer pages . 1815 won the "HorlogerdelaMarine" Navy watchmaking house in the world. In his efforts, the urge watchmaking , whether in art or technology have received a new impetus and a new breadth . Breguet died at age 77 , his achievements not only in his lifetime were widely admired ; today , he is still recognized as the greatest genius and watchmaking family .

Breguet life of important inventions including the escapement wheel structure (Tourbillon), balance double springs (Thebalance-springovercoil), chime clock (TheSympathi-queclock), fixed speed escapement structure (TheConstantforceescapement), and three asked to play watch -type spiral Spring system (Thespringforminuteyepeater) and other outstanding design, are today far-reaching contribution to the watch industry .

Breguet today by the MontresBreguet, NouvelleLemania and Valdar strategic alliance of three companies , due to the fund of funds , R & D and marketing capabilities greatly enhanced the product to be market-oriented strategy , Breguet in fact out of the silence and started showing vibrant and robust .

Reorganization seeks to reform

Breguet company after the restructuring , staff from the pre-merger 170 to 230 , produced a significant performance upgrade . In parts production , Breguet has most of the components produced by the same group solely on the chronograph movement and advanced mechanical movement of NouvelleLemania company took over the other , Valdar was devoted to the development of micro- mechanical and precision parts. Breguet is responsible only for the most special parts of the manufacturing and development, which also have more human input in the design and development work .

Breguet began to wake from deep sleep , and brilliant phoenix of Breguet , will be ready .

Each watch has a Breguet only proprietary individually numbered , that the watchmaker for their time and effort , this year, mainly from the existing watch Breguet four series Classique, Heritage, Marine, Type XX be expanded ; and Type XX 's Apprentice lines of which taste even flourish .

Band History Synopsis of Swiss Watches

Tissot


Tissot: Tissot was born in 1853 --- the cradle of Swiss watch-making industry Jurassic (JURA) in the town of LELOCLE. Over the past 150 years , Tissot 's name has been all over the world on five continents , to become immortal altar watch in one of the brands , and has repeatedly received international accolades and awards . Have been presented in 1878 and 1889, the International Watch Fair in Paris awarded the Silver and non-competitive Honor Award and subsequently won a gold medal in 1890 in Anvers , won a gold medal in Geneva in 1896 , and May 9, 1900 also in Paris Obtained Prixd'Horlogerie. No doubt many awards over the years confirmed the Tissot 's goal --- " extraordinary creativity, from tradition. "

Tissot made as early as 1853, the first a pocket watch , curved form of the watch in 1917, the " banana " watch , 1930, the anti-magnetic watch , the company was founded in 1953, designed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of " Voyager " 1971 A surface made of plastic mechanical power watch IDEA2001, 1985 years of rock form, accompanied by quartz multifunction movement in 1986 , can have both a pointer and digital display of the "TWOTIMER", 1998 years of anti -sensitive raw materials to Tech The ultra-modern design watches "TITANIUM7", as well as touch- watch 2002 "T-TOUCH". T-TOUCH is the world's first use of the touch surface to operate the watch glass with a weather notice , altimeter , multi-function timer , compass , alarm and thermometer additional features such as 6 .

Plum (Titoni)

Plum (Titoni): is a typical traditional Swiss watch factory , since 1919 Since its establishment in LinKen According to legend, three generations , is now a rare independent family watch business . Over the years it has been to adhere automatic mechanical watch in the field , the company is most proud of is a characteristic of 95% of its products are highly accurate mechanical watch . All along, the plum blossom form and adhere to " quality first "attitude , focus on production of fine , durable machine watch can be * in the world, set up a " micro- mechanical technology as " the image .

Plum watch is the earlier of the Swiss brand presence in China for many years with " precision , may *, durable , " the stability of the quality to win the consumer confidence Plum unique watch , the watch laid the lofty status of plum .

Longines

Longine: originated in the year 1832, watchmaker Augustus . Agassi (Auguste-Agassiz), his brother. Agassi (Louis-Agassiz) was a famous geologist , in Sheng Yemi Valley (Saint-Imier) small-scale watch factory , have since launched a bright future. Agassi is the nephew of the founder of Longines ─ ─ Ornish . Folanxiang (Ernest-Francillon). From 1832, Longines , known for her elegance , is a 170 -year history has the tradition of the watch manufacturers, each watch is a combination of harmony and beauty . Around the world who have been carefully designed the graceful beauty of style , exquisite workmanship of the watch , known altar watch . Longines brand philosophy of "elegant attitude , true personality , " Audrey Hepburn was the image of Longines spokesmen , Hepburn, 50 years from the last century has been loved by the people , in people's minds forever elegant , noble . When we say when a person is very elegant , the most important is her experience and training , this is a must to experience many of the flavor comes out from the heart . Longines that is.

Longines 's becoming synonymous with precision , the whole process thanks to the continuous efforts of the time . Sponsored by the Lewis 1899 Longines . Ya Manda (Louis-Amadeus) count the North Pole expedition led by the event and provide for a variety of temperature changes in polar design 5 pocket watch , and be strongly commended . Earl wrote: " No matter how bad climate change by , Longines has always been to maintain the most accurate time "" The Longines chronometers kept the exact time, despite the enormous temperature variations to which they were subjected. " After this expedition , Many other explorers have chosen Longines as specified timer . Another great record , is the 1094 Barney Captain (Captain JE Bernier-Arctic) sailed from the United States to the North Pole adventure .

Hans Wilsdorf , founder of the age of 24 in 1908 Rolex registered the trademark , then move to Geneva by the United Kingdom . In 1920, Rolex was awarded the first grant issued by the official quality accreditation certificate . As determined to create the most accurate watches , Wilsdorf set the design and manufacture of a water watch of the target , and finally the famous Oyster (Oyster) surface of the world , quickly became the Swiss luxury watch sales chart for the highest . Rolex watches one of the world's top ten.

Type of Quartz Watch's Battery and It's Working Life

Quartz watches , there are three main types of batteries :


1 , alkaline batteries LR

2 , silver oxide batteries SR

3 , lithium battery CR or LI

Ordinary battery voltage will gradually decrease with use , while silver oxide battery voltage only when the end of the fast life , the voltage will suddenly drop , the characteristics of the travel time to ensure the accuracy of quartz watches have a great advantage . But the problem caused by the battery voltage can not be a simple measurement method to determine the adequacy of the battery 's power is said to now there is no quick and nondestructive equipment , to do the measurement .

Silver oxide batteries have a high current output and low current output of difference , according to watch the type of battery should be used to determine which type of order . If the watch has trouble with finder, audio features or light , on the application of high currents . (Such as figures show that the quartz watch ) Most of the quartz watch is a low current , replace the battery according to the provisions of a certain type selection . Only the same size and shape to be used indiscriminately , can cause abnormal working watches , watches the lights and alarm ring of power thousands of times the normal travel time in the watch of power . To extend battery life so as to minimize the number of lights and alarm . Battery type the letters behind : The SW said that the low current output , for Analog quartz watches ; use the W , said high-current output for alarm or lighted with digital quartz watches .

Good quality batteries, surface polishing is very bright, clear marks and letter marks , its side has printed up a cluster bomb , said the production date . Fake batteries made generally coarse , fuzzy mark , and the use of very short . Comparison of the famous brand watch battery : Switzerland has "RENATA" ( which Each battery is individually wrapped ), Japan has Seiko SEIKO, the quality is good , with good quality made in Changzhou, " up to stand . " Good quartz watches have to use good quality batteries , poor battery often will watch harm .

Battery life and two factors : 1 , battery capacity itself , the larger battery capacity , power consumption, the smaller the longer the life . 2 , watch the size of the circuit power consumption , power consumption is about quartz watches are about 1 μA , the battery capacity of about 4 ~ 40 MAH, Li-ion battery capacity to a greater point . In general, the smaller the watch battery is also smaller , thus the smaller the capacity , the use of short; two needles of a watch pin or more than three pointer battery durability . After all, in normal use the battery at least use more than one year guarantee period . If the watch appears frequently replace the battery , then to consider whether the failure of the circuit .

Leakage , climb up the battery base and air quality problems . Internal alkaline battery electrolyte ( sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide ) is a serious corrosion movement , resulting in parts rust damage , ( I have a RADO watch , is due to battery leakage after the dial to the corrosion , and later spent More than 500 yuan for which the dial ) circuit barrier . Watch for battery power and stop and go , or long-term storage of unused , remove the battery as possible to prevent battery leakage and gas up . According to statistics, there is a failure of the quartz watch is mostly caused by the battery . So, when you need to replace watch battery , be sure to select high-quality batteries , but also to the reliable watch repair shop to replace .

Silver oxide battery is not even have the self-discharge phenomena , high humidity and temperature of the environment will increase the battery self-discharge , when placed in cold storage and dry conditions. Unused for long periods to pull out the watch to watch ( do not watch the second needle ), the battery temperature below 0 ℃ , the battery current output will become very weak , with lights and alarm sound and a digital display window Quartz watches, these functions should be affected.

Silver oxide battery will not charge or broiled, when installed in the store and by , be careful not to cause short circuits. Watch repair shop of used batteries should focus in order to prevent contamination caused by pollution.

Test for The Water Resistantce

Now watch consumer has a misunderstanding , that is, when consumers tend to buy watches watches will focus on price , travel time precision, the appearance of style and appearance quality . As long as these conform to mind , would think to buy a piece of the Heart watch . Consumer awareness of this fact is to ignore the quality of a watch and the future impact of the biggest factors in life - watches waterproof . View current media reports, consumers complain about most aspects of quality watches is one of waterproof watches bad . Not to mention hundreds of dollars to spread the goods, that is several hundred dollars of domestic brands watch , import watch a few thousand dollars , several million high-end watch , as leading watch watches water affects the quality of movement even when retirement is Occurred , the economic losses to consumers to the product itself, but also brought the loss of brand reputation on . Watch the factors leading to not a lot of water , but the key point is whether the time of manufacture in the watch waterproof watch should be waterproof performance.


So , the modern watch company in the production process is how to know whether a waterproof watch then ? Water watch in accordance with existing international standards of iso2281-1990 , and water watches in China Light Industry Standard qb/t1897-93 ( equivalent to using iso2281-1990) requirements, manufacturers must watch the water temperature changes and resistance to mechanical stress -resistant properties, performance or resistance to pressure Pressure -resistant performance ( resistance to pressure and resistance to water pressure can check one) testing , performance indicators have reached the standard , and you can watch with a waterproof performance that such form is called water watch . Instead , you can not call water watch . Resistance to air pressure test is to put pressure waterproof watch tester containers , under normal pressure to bear to watch again 2bar ( equivalent to about 2 atm) of air overpressure. If the case of air leakage rate of no greater than 50 micrograms / min , the target is qualified . The hydrostatic pressure test is to put pressure waterproof watch the water container Tester ( watch completely immersed in water ), atmospheric pressure and then put 2bar to watch the pressure for 10 minutes and then test to see watch glass by the condensation Whether there is fog on the coagulation properties to determine whether the resistance to pressure compliance . Only from the targets, in strict accordance with international standards, the production of waterproof watches the water resistance is not a problem. Because people wear a watch daily activities (including recreational swimming) , watches, water borne pressure is less than 0.5bar, waterproof sheet waterproof capacity margin is still quite large . But later experts found , or a waterproof watch some flooding occurred in the course of the phenomenon . The reason is watch the one hand, the use of reason . For example: watches use a longer time, more than the waterproof durability, wear watches diving or severe water sports , watches, shocked by the external shock , watch repair , battery replacement, disassembly lead to decreased water resistance ; the other hand, Resistance to pressure performance test is similar to water resistance performance test , is not exactly the same test, after all, the two test environments are essentially different media , anti- air leakage pressure test hydrostatic pressure test is not equal to the amount of water leakage . Select only done a performance test of water pressure -resistant form , if only placed in the water a short time there is no problem , but if a long time , can not guarantee that the phenomenon does not appear water immersion . Given the various reasons , iso international standards organization member watches ( China is an important member of this organization ) agreed to revise the existing water watch international standards , to the water watch plus " insurance. "

Currently , Member States are to modify the content of international standards for consultation , the majority of Member States to increase the following three "insurance" content:

1 , the water resistance test into a performance test will be done by the selective test .

2 , the water resistance properties of the pressure test by the 2bar to 3bar.

3 , the water immersion test ( to watch entirely in the 10 ± 2 cm deep in water ) to extend the time from 1 hour to 4 hours .

If the "insurance "content is passed, an international standard , then the water produced by the new standard form, the water resistance will be improved, waterproof watch will also be extended shelf life . So , consumers should pay more attention when the watch is waterproof . Water , can protect the value of your watch ; not waterproof , they may soon make you watch the value failed to be implemented.

The Right Way to Choose The Battery for The Quartz Watch

With the development of quartz digital watches , quartz watches worn by people hand style and brand more and more , so the correct matching for the quartz watch button cell batteries become consumers rather practical issues of concern .


There are many currently on the market , the coin cell assembly . Them to ag3, ag1 such as labeling, negative -plated yellow gold, the battery shell neither mark is not standard origin , production date code labeled only in English and Japanese models and the " button cell "or" watch battery "on , pretending to imported batteries . In fact, these are all low quality views of the alkaline-manganese batteries . The use of cheap and shoddy battery capacity is low, life is short, voltage instability , it is easy to leakage, or flatulence, and damage to watches . Such batteries generally apply only to low-end low-end calculators and digital electronic form , used in high profile Analogue quartz watch is worth the candle , so please be careful when matching consumers .

From this , the correct matching quartz watch battery is used to ensure the accuracy and life critical issue. Consumers should be fully aware of this issue , do not use poor-quality button cell batteries , so your watch unnecessary damage . So , how does the proper use of button cell batteries ?

First, we should correctly understand the pointer on the button battery quartz electronic watches the special requirements :

(1 ) leakage performance is better , the battery into the movement , the bad things 1-2 years or even longer to replace .

(2 ) voltage to be stable, quartz watches need to 1.5v power supply voltage can be maintained under the normal work of accurate time .

(3 ) longer service life , often to open the watch cover, replace the battery , it will affect the sealing performance of the watch , therefore , required a higher capacity battery . In addition , better appearance , and trademark , model , production date code should have a clear sign of compliance .

In addition, to recommend some good performance and quality button cell . According to the electronic form of the pointer on the button battery quartz special requirements we can safely use . Domestic battery factory production , such as Changzhou , " stand up to card " button silver oxide batteries, button batteries , such as some foreign brands in Japan maxell, Toshiba , Germany varta, such as the United States ucar.

Mechanical Watch's Technology Structure and Work Principle

About the early 16th century, sometimes thousands of inventions , the first is to use gravity as a power source , this time only be accommodated in a fixed account areas such as tall buildings , walls on which hung the bell , that is to live a chain system Made with the iron hammer , and rotating around the wheel ; was invented to use the spring will operate , which is now winding watches . This time on account reduced a lot in size , like large eggs , can be installed in the pocket , which is invented by the locksmith in Nuremberg, Germany Nuremberg eggs (Nuremberg Egg), all parts of this watch is hand- made , so costs Time-consuming work , and the only watch and everything in between each . Until the 19th century, gradually developed to machine manufacturing, quality control was able to . So far , the name watches very uniform structure , even in the same area , said there are many different methods or translation , but the world lacks unity on the provisions of watch components . Therefore, the Swiss movement manufacturer ETA used to number the first number to represent in order to watch the buying of parts in the industry, when correct. But the movement had the same name national brands , but there are still differences in the structure , code will be different . Watch the operation is the use of leverage , just like swinging back and forth like a repeat , the basic operation of the order of center wheel by winding → → → the third round of the fourth round of the messenger → → → escape wheel balance wheel , and then placed Round of reaction to the messenger bounce a simple harmonic motion in situ.

The Right Way to Distinguish The Functions of The Watch

Terms of the watches , especially mechanical watches, which have the function on behalf of its complexity. Complex functions can be divided into watches two categories: independent and instructions , is basically independent from a system , such as: alarm clock , playing spring , total yards (including the double tracking ), Tourbillon , display the structure of energy ; instruction type Are mostly calendar, moon phase , 12/24 hours ( or time zone indication) , large windows calendar structure, and gear ratios are related to the teeth meshing with each other their different speed , represents the time of conversion .


Watches with complicated functions usually have a logo in appearance , just from the appearance of features on some of them are seen at a glance . For example there are three watches to account code category is watch, and there are stars and the moon dial window pattern dial , and the phases of feature .

However, by now popular in the words , " riding a white horse is not the prince , the monk Tang also ride "and now some of the specialized watches imitation watches section look complex , but only what the style , but no corresponding function .

Transformation can easily add , cottage can engage in , usually in ETA2836 heart of these machines (in the dial face assembly ) plus modules , the most convenient transformation is to increase the window, add some indicator , such as: month , year, day Day of the show . Hour of the day show that in fact is equivalent to 24 hours showed that all call it done early , " Sun Moon Star " , first sight , the mistaken belief that the phases of feature, but it and the phases of the moon are two different things , look at patterns , printed above Is a sun " smile . " (See photo)

Watches are not calendar , as the watch is no need to increase in large time units on Yi Zhi Xian Shi De , perpetual calendar watches a year and month display ,main role was to control He corrected the calendar available because Meiyueduyou large , small and leap of Different days .

Calendar is watch one of the most complex structure , the most famous is that it has a cross inside the wheel, is to control the leap year and the large and small , intercalary month , truly perpetual calendar watches , the price is very high , in addition to IWC watches , are in Do not have four digits to indicate the current year, in the usual way is to dial with a cross line , and a 4,1,2,3 figures , using a small pointer to indicate , the figures represent a leap year and leap year after year .

" deaf ears - into ornaments , "and shows just the right words , like some watches, and pose complex with a watch to take a functional approach , this aim is simply to忽悠consumers in an attempt to earn the money .

Now, however, is " false calendar "and" false code watch " in the picture only watch , up and down two more watches to the role , only the month and calendar with a quick adjustment . It 's 8:00 in the case side position and 10 position, there are two sunken button , which is used to adjust the weeks and years .

Show the month is the final stage gear transmission , while the year show and even put a floating pendulum , and the movement of other parts without any mechanical contact , only by manually selecting the year , though as a counter to show from 2008 to 2019 A total of 12 years.

Such watch "feature "not only does not make sense , but also kind of fool people feel , unless special vanity or simply do not know people would buy a watch , by the way , I recently saw several false 100 Da Feili Watches, also used this movement , but also the look , the difference is that it actually dare to do with the 18K gold case.

How to use Casio Sport Watch to Measure The Height

Casio sports watch actually measured height or rely on air pressure . the air pressure at different altitudes is different . According to a relative pressure difference recognized by the international value , converted to a high degree of difference , so that accurate measurement too is a little too harsh for Casio The .


The following is the official web site casio Description:

The watch altimeter using pressure sensors detect pressure now , then with this pressure test value according to ISA ( international standard atmospheric pressure ) default estimates are high . You can pre- specify a reference height, this watch will be based on this reference value Calculate the current relative height .

Set the reference height

Casio sports watch can also set the recommended height . that is, will record the initial value you set . such as your foot of the mountain . You can set the reference height is 0 , when you reached the top on , the test altitude of 1,000 , then you Have to climb the mountain to climb 1,000 meters .

However, if you could . sea level where you can set the reference value of 0 , then climbing when you retest . should be able to measure the altitude of the mountain is probably worth it .

On the altimeter simple test .

You can test a large look at the first floor when the height of several storeys climb again , and then test the height, height difference between the math and see the actual height difference is not much .

They need to remind . casio watch test is highly dependent on the pressure , if measured in adverse weather conditions are essentially banned.

The Luminous Principles of Watch and it’s Material Classification

Luminescence materials generally fall into two categories : One is material to heat, light radiation produces heat , and the other is excited by the absorption of energy and physical transition to the excited state ( non- steady state ) then return to the ground state of the process, to light In the form of energy is released. Watch the use of fluorescent coating is the use of the second principle , that is, after the fluorescent material stimulated luminescence.


Luminous Material Type

Traditional fluorescent light from the coating material can be divided into two types , and luminescent type . Since the light-emitting fluorescent agents are mostly carried by its own trace of radioactive material released ray excited fluorescent light . And Chu fluorescent agent , while almost no radioactive material , but need to reserve in advance of sufficient strength to absorb and external illumination, will own electronic transitions from the low level to high level and stored . When the darkness surrounding environment , the self- absorption and gradually slow to release the energy , this time from the high -level electronic transitions to lower energy level , fluorescent agents began to light . As the storage type of light ray excited material itself does not carry , so durability for the time being as self- afterglow light type.

Many people are aware of Rolex watches have a certificate, commonly known as a Rolex watch is a " Account " , actually it is a official certificate of precision timepieces , (Garantie attestation de chronometer official) only one certificate of each watch , Correspond to the above number and watches .


If it is fake brands , it is also necessary that this certificate is fake , so when we distinguish the authenticity of this certificate is also very important based their decision .

Rolex certificate , printed like money , on top of it , there are many security measures and technologies. Most people will not notice , will now share with you the following :

(1 ) paper are special

Truth watch of the certificate , the thickness of thin paper , the surface is not smooth ; and leave the watch the thickness of the paper is thick and hard surface is relatively smooth feeling .

(2 ) fluorescent line certificate

Truth watch of the certificate on both sides , each about a fluorescent line , only to see the lamp in the paper money , most do not leave the watch .

(3 ) certificate with watermark

When the certificate when looking toward the light lift , you can see the certificate of the watermark , the top number of a Rolex watch which the crown look like LOGO design , and will not leave watch.

(4 ) certificate number on the hole -like


Usually there are three sets of figures on the certificate , all the way with a punch made . They are : ( 1 ) local agent number (such as 888 Hong Kong) , ( 2 ) model watch (eg 116 233 ), ( c) the production of watches serial number (eg S 193978). Kong compared the composition of dense and small , and leave the watch more holes to play in the big and sloppy . Another feature is the false form of these holes are playing flash ( estimates and drilling process and paper materials are related ) , true form is very clean .

(5 ) the name of the agent certificate

Rolex watches in the world with a strict system of agents and sales organizations , all of the retail agents must be recognized . Watch when the certificate of sale retail dealer must stamp the name or blue seal , but also fill in date of purchase, leave the watch usually do not do this, perhaps a " white board . "

(6 ) new Rolex watches certificate

Rolex watches new certificate , printed more " fancy " , colorful , in fact, take a closer look will find a lot of pseudo- technical patterns are all fake , no less than printing money . Estimated that the mystery will not say Rolex watches , this is how they prevent the proliferation of the current flood situation like fake Rolex watches, some means of it.

Watch Material - Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber material (Cabon Fiber) is widely used in watch making area.


Carbon black . Currently the vast majority of the market are polypropylene fibers are made of solid -phase carbonization . The production process can be divided into pre- nutrient , carbon , graphite , and several other steps , the basic product of carbon content above 90% . Carbon fiber research and development production threshold is high , the production from the precursor to the carbonization process are complex and stringent technical requirements. The world has many countries, including China can produce carbon fiber , but when talking about size and quality and production capacity , today as Japan, the world 's carbon fiber production Guo Zui Da . Mitsubishi , Toray , Toho three companies of the global output of carbon fiber 80% , and the three companies have been expansion in recent years to meet market demand.

In tabulating the industry , the carbon material is mainly applied in the dial and case of manufacturing . Watch carbon materials , manufacturers and more choice in style on the campaign to highlight your fashion personality and rare features . If Hublot and TAG Heuer sports watch brands such as more or less use of carbon fiber materials . But must point out that some traditional classical old brand , the preservation of traditional crafts and ideas , it is also boldly absorb and draw on modern science and technology , in the traditional classic styles on different levels of use of carbon fiber materials . If the United States it 's 90 degrees in the anniversary edition , by the successful use of carbon fiber dial , deliberately clever blend of retro and modern and limited sale . BELL & ROSS is the carbon fiber chassis with a good combination of tourbillon movement with , plus the titanium case of abrasive blasting , even more luxurious .

Watch parts with carbon fiber is not easy . Manufacturing, the only case in the development of mold on the effort -consuming , but also choose what type of resin with carbon fiber and which have very high technical . Forging and heat curing is very important, is by no means a simple process can achieve . Such as Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Carbon Concept Tourbillon watch , It uses a forged carbon case , the manufacturing process is quite complicated . Simply put , we must first create the actual case size , shape are the same metal mold , while within the mold release agent spray , in order to be finished after molding and mold separation . And then selecting the toner together with the resin into the mold into high temperature curing, after reaching a certain temperature by forming its shape . And the curing and molding process is repeated several times may be required to get the final product , which is called " forging process. " Moreover, some case to pursue more sophisticated visual , but also in forging after grinding , to achieve improvements.

The dial is made even more difficult operation . The key is to pre- invasion production of material to be very meticulous process , development of fiber column arrangement, the proportion of resin models , making the speed and temperature control , go through rigorous testing repeated . Ensuring the fiber strength and smoothness , while not the slightest flaw , otherwise it will affect the movement of the work and beauty.

Watch Water Resistance Test Equipment and Manual

                                                 Experimental tank water imported watches

Basically, all watches are water resistance test carried out with the experimental methods , experimental method to simulate deep water pressure, and in a real deep state or differentiated . Experimental method is more often relative and conditional, for example , the test of time , water temperature , watch the state ; test time and test for stress-related , the greater the pressure , but the shorter test time ; water temperature is room temperature , about 23 degrees , watches are still being tested positive .


Actually watch the situation in contact with water experimental conditions ( environment) is very different , so , many consumers will be the identity of the watch is water-resistant misunderstanding might go swimming with a watch or even to " Zha Mengzi , " resulting in the watch into the Water . If you watch water resistance is a problem, doing quality testing , they will not do in real deep water test , but in the water jar test experiments . Waterproof watches experiment is the industry standard , QB / T 1897-1993 " watches waterproof watches " waterproof watch a good variety of test methods , such as compression, decompression , and condensation experiment .

Currently used in the watch industry, many types of water testing equipment , but to increase the types of pressure are more basic is sealed cans , compressed air pumps fill it to play , fast test times in this way , defects can not be sure watch parts not sealed , Therefore, in the production industry is more used .

Done alone , or a few watches waterproof test , it will use the water test tank , this thing of Switzerland and Japan , produce, test medium is water, glass jars with a pressure gauge at the top , fill it with a handle used to boost the morale of pressure .

Glass jars red line irrigation , the red line is the water level , the glass covered with a deflated valve , experiment by shaking up and down the handle to increase gas pressure to observe the pressure gauge pointer is generally added to 3 atmospheres ( this depends on the watch Waterproof logo) . Tested watch hanging rods to hang the top , this time , it is best to remove strap, plus the pressure of time , watches are more than needs to be upgraded to the surface , that is, watch to withstand pressure in the air . When the full pressure indicators , the need to maintain pressure for 90 seconds this time, because the pressure imbalance , if the watch cases are not sealed , then the compressed air will enter the internal case .

Prevention is not waterproof watch , the main target is to see under the pressure of the air leakage flow rate , the standard is 50 micrograms / min , if exceeded this target , it was regarded as unsatisfactory water resistance .

After 90 seconds , put the watch down below the water surface , and then press the valve , if the free air bubbles from the case , glass , watch the Department leakage , and the same location more than 3 consecutive bubbles emerge , then the watches on Waterproof failure , rough that a bubble is equivalent to about 50 micrograms .

Decompression is carried out in the water , this device can find the biggest advantage is not sealed or water watch the site , doing the tests , there is a requirement , because the increase of pressure may be subsiding watch glass (especially the early Plastic watch glass ), but watch the second hand can not touch the glass and stopped walking , a sudden decompression at the time , nor can it be high-pressure air- glass roof open .

Sapphire watches are now the basic glass , and the depth of water-resistant watch has a considerable thickness of glass , the early years I used Swiss FH-5 waterproof device, which device is relatively large , one can simultaneously test five watches, it has Pressurized storage glass observation port .

Water pressure test tank test range is generally 6-8 BAR, also marked kg / square cm . Decompression tests can be done there , the general life of waterproof watches , vacuum test is to do 400 mm Hg pressure , and sometimes pressure to do more formidable than the decompression experiments , such as aerospace and mountaineering watches for professional use , should Do decompression experiments .

Waterproof watches in doing experiments , made of sheets and a single case can all be done , but if the watch is as if the watch was found when the vacuum is no longer waterproof , should prompt the rod from the water , immediately open the watch to bake Dry , water is particularly serious , but also on the watch movement to do cleaning . Best waterproof test jar in the increase of water distilled water , even waterproof watches qualified , after the test , but also on the heater or the thermostat box , for drying.

Clockwork first used in watches


Many people do not know , history has recorded the first application of a mechanical clockwork timer is a familiar tool watches . All the mechanical movement needed momentum before the Revolution early in the industrial , mechanical power source necessary for human nothing more than wind, water, livestock, Deng forces of nature , but either not enough power Wen Ding Zhe Xie , Jiu Shi Jiegousuozhan sizes too big , brought no problem with farming , but to have nature in no time , until around the 15th century , to hammer power source for the mechanical structure came only to mechanical time possible.

To the 18th century, some watch manufacturers in Europe to watch design into a variety of images , and to promote the movement of certain accessories , so take the time than clocks , but also can make some interesting moves . Such as owl owl eyes on the clock to keep Pool closed , also regularly send their calls, while the clock on some of the characters can perform various actions.

It clocks in this design led to clockwork toys for the power plant produces . Popular in Europe earlier that music box , and then there are metal toys . Later, under the influence of China in Europe with a clockwork toy production , mainly for the Qing imperial family members play in the 20th century 20 's, the canning factory Haikang dollars to start producing the toys, the first production of the species is " chicken eat rice " Then there were the familiar metal frogs , and metal sparrows。

Energy Saving Clockwork coincide low carbon era


In addition to providing a good winding watches stable and long-term power source , but also can go more stable clock . About 67 years ago , winding or in carbon steel materials to build , prone to metal fatigue , travel time will result in inaccurate , and now the clock winding are using an ingredient complex new material , has many advantages, not Easy not easy breaking metal fatigue .

Decorative Square in Tsing Yi Fu Zhong Ya -line , we can see all kinds of travel time with a winding drive the antique clock , well-made . In the one produced in Germany before the Kenny family antique clock stopped , through transparent glass bell , you can see the golden yellow movement, this is the clock line of the most complex aspect of the movement within the station clock , Distinguish between light from the appearance of it in the end how many gears the reason for doing such a complex watch clock , mainly showing the current world's top watch technology for people watching . But to drive the world's top Taiwan -minute clock is not now commonly used household batteries , but traditional clockwork . Clockwork Shaft Clockwork box will turn into a few , winding it Shanghao , and saw the glass bell to rotate within the gear from the inter-related , there is an octave at the bottom of tube movement , the point When , with the winding of the drive it can play the music of the eight scales .

Green Ya- Chung said the Starting line , and compared with the power of clocks , clockwork watches the accuracy of travel time weaker , but very durable .

Some people think that , although now is a fully electric -based , digital age , but with the gradual depletion of the Earth energy , coupled with advances in materials industry , environmental protection and energy-efficient winding power again appears to the resurgence of the trend , and the winding Battery power will not have pollution problems , more green . Perhaps in another few years, with the popularity of environmental consciousness around us will have more and more winding power products
