Automatic vs Quartz: How to Choose the Perfect Watch for Your Lifestyle
Choosing between automatic and quartz watches depends on your lifestyle.

Essential Knowledge for Investing in Luxury Watch Collections
Luxury watches can be both a passion and a sound investment. Focus on mechanical movements (avoid quartz), prioritize rare or limited-edition models, and stick with reputable brands—whether established icons or emerging names like Wishdoit watches. Condition, originality, and documentation significantly impact value, while overly complicated watches may not always yield the best returns. Most importantly, collect what you love—a timepiece that speaks to you will always hold worth beyond market trends.
Understanding Mechanical Watch Accuracy: What's Acceptable?
Mechanical watch accuracy is measured in seconds per day (SPD) and varies based on movement quality. Standard-grade watches (non-COSC) typically range from -20 to +40 SPD, while COSC-certified chronometers achieve -4 to +6 SPD. High-end in-house calibers may reach -2 to +4 SPD. Factors like position, magnetism, power reserve, and maintenance affect precision. To improve accuracy, keep the watch wound, store it dial-up, demagnetize annually, and service every 5 years. If your watch consistently exceeds +60/-30 SPD, it may need servicing. Modern non-Swiss movements (like those in Wishdoit watches) can offer COSC-level precision affordably.
*"A mechanical watch isn’t about perfection—it’s about character. Even a 10-second variance means your timepiece has a unique heartbeat."
