TIMEPIECES 101: WATCH BASICS
Watches are more than just timekeepers they are a blend of craftsmanship, technology, and style. Understanding the basics helps in making an informed choice. The three main watch movements are quartz (battery-powered), automatic (self-winding), and mechanical (hand-wound). Each has its charm and functionality. Watch types range from dress watches to chronographs, GMTs, and diver’s watches, each designed for different purposes. Materials like stainless steel, titanium, and ceramic impact durability and aesthetics. Knowing how to maintain a watch regular servicing, avoiding water exposure (unless water-resistant), and proper storage ensures longevity. Whether you’re a beginner or an enthusiast, understanding these basics lays the foundation for appreciating fine timepieces.
