Seven Mechanical Watches Cold Knowledge
Mechanical watches are the pinnacle of process technology, with the most complex mechanical watches containing over 2000 internal parts. So many men like mechanical watches, and every man has a mechanical watch in their heart.
So what kind of cold knowledge do mechanical watches have? First, let's take a look at the first point.
1、 Quartz watch and mechanical watch
Many people pay attention to the hands on the dial when distinguishing between quartz watches and mechanical watches. If there are two pointers, then it is a quartz watch, and if there are three pointers, then it is a mechanical watch. Actually, this kind of discrimination method is incorrect.
The most effective way is to watch the movement of the second hand. A quartz watch jumps every second, while a mechanical watch continuously beats. It looks like it's gradually sliding over the dial.
2、 Manual chaining is harmless to automatic mechanical watches
Many people have consulted about this issue, but in fact, actively chaining an automatic watch will not have any impact on the interior of the watch. Because the automatic chain up position is itself an independent additional device. For automatic mechanical watches that are no longer in use, they must be manually linked before being worn again. This is to allow the watch's spring to enter a state of uniform power release faster.
Many people tend to overlook this point and believe that the automatic mechanical watch is no longer working, and that shaking it vigorously can make it work. In fact, this approach is not correct. Firstly, it can cause damage to the internal parts of the watch. Secondly, relying solely on automatic chaining cannot fully provide kinetic energy to a watch.
3、 Fine steel material
For watches, the term 'precision steel' here refers to a type of high-precision watch. Except for Rolex, which uses 904L steel, other watch brands use 316L steel. Many people believe that 904L steel is better than 316L steel, but the difference is not significant, except that 904L steel has better performance in various aspects. Currently, only Rolex has applied 904L steel to the case, chain, and crown of the watch. This is not to say that 316L steel is not good, even Patek Philippe is using 316L steel. Can you say it's not good?
4、 Manually rotate the chain several times
The general kinetic energy reserve of a watch is 48 hours, which can be manually linked for 25 to 30 cycles, but it is not inevitable. When the watch is turned to a certain position, it may feel that it cannot rotate or the crown is a bit tight. At this point, it can be terminated without the need for further chaining. Of course, the best way is not to tighten the chain manually every time, as it feels almost done.
Here, you can fully refer to the kinetic energy reserve display function of Puqi. To manually load the chain, you only need to observe the kinetic energy display disc at the 3-point position. When the chain is loaded, the pointer will move with rotation. When the pointer reaches 7, there is no need to load the chain, which is very convenient.
5、 Homemade movements may not be really good
Many people pay attention to the issue of movement when choosing watches and only choose self-produced movements. In fact, one advantage of self-produced movements is that they can control the quality of the movements themselves, but self-produced movements are not equal to good movements. The development, planning, and production requirements of a movement all require time to settle. It's not just about hiring a senior watchmaker or spending money on equipment to create it, even a one micrometer error can affect the accuracy of travel time.
6、 International Top Ten Watch
In fact, there are many famous watch worlds in the world, but everyone in the watch circle has their own positioning and style, and the ranking situation is also different. The top ten international watches are just for reference.
7、 Yellowing of night light
This is actually the most controversial issue for many watch enthusiasts, but generally speaking, there is no need to worry. Because after more than ten years, the scale of a watch will turn yellow, especially for luminous watches. Secondly, the raw material for most luminous materials is "tritium", which can automatically emit light without the need for Western light. However, if the brightness is maintained for at most ten years, it will gradually age and turn yellow after ten years.
