Do you know what a watch craftsman's canvas is?
Date indications were present on early clocks. A full calendar, which is meant to include the day, the month, and the usual phases of the moon appearing soon.

Why Fashion Influences Mechanical Watch Styling？
The shape of the watch is not good and can only be seen as an integration of a bunch of parts. The quality of modeling is a matter of taste, and a matter of fashion and thought in a certain period. Looking back at the history of watches, it is not difficult to see that stylists in the 20th century have put a lot of effort into making watches so outstanding.
Why do watches have jewelry in them?
Wheels in a watch are constantly rotating while a watch is running. Wheels rotate on their pivots, which are thin posts on both ends of the pinion. This constant rotation causes friction, which in turn causes mechanical wear. To reduce friction and wear, the pivots rotate in synthetic sapphire jewels. Sapphire is used because of it’s hardness; only diamond is harder.
How do mechanical watches store energy?
Mechanical watches are powered by a coiled spring known as a mainspring. As this spring uncoils, the amount of time that the watch can run diminishes. This remaining amount of time is referred to as the power reserve, winding indication, or up/down indication. An indication turning through an angle or a linear indicator appears on the dial to display the power reserve, similar to a car’s fuel gauge.

How can we protect watches from magnetic fields？
Anti-magnetic watch does not mean that all parts in the watch are anti-magnetic, it just means that some main parts, such as the balance wheel, hairspring, spring, etc., are made of anti-magnetic materials. According to international standards, if the watch can continue to operate under a magnetic field of 4800A/m, and the maximum error does not exceed 30 seconds one day after the test, it meets the anti-magnetic standard.
Do you know the helium escape valve?
During the deep dive of the watch, as the water pressure increases, there are more helium molecules in the water than under the water molecules, and the tiny helium molecules will squeeze into the case from the gap of the watch under the action of strong pressure. At this time, the pressure in the case gradually increases, and the internal and external pressures are basically balanced. In this way, the watch can be well waterproofed in the deep sea and prevent the case from being broken and deformed.
