Watch knowledge

If someone asks you the time, do you look at your mobile phone or watch?

I remember seeing such a sentence: "smart phones are the most popular and favorite technology products so far. Their rapid popularization threatens the survival of a series of products such as watches and alarm clocks." It's true that today, as an hour meter tool, watches are no longer necessary. Not only mobile phones, iPad, Walkman and other electronic products can see time, but time information is everywhere. However, the watch is not only not eliminated, and even by more and more people's pursuit and love, this is why?

Who invented the watch?

Peter Henlein invented the first watch, a pocket watch, in 1505. He used mechanical principles, such as pendulums and gears, to measure time. Watches evolved from being worn by aristocrats to becoming fashion and status objects for everyone. The watch industry developed rapidly during the industrial revolution, and Swiss watches became dominant. Today, watches range from mechanical to smart and are designed to meet the needs of customers, like Wishdoit watches.

How to make a sapphire crystal mirror？

The manufacture of each part of the watch contains its own knowledge. I usually study a watch first by looking at its mirror and then its movement. Generally speaking, if the quality of its movement is relatively good, the overall quality of the watch is relatively good. I next study the top layer of the watch-the sapphire crystal mirror.

How to find the correct size watch?

Choosing a watch of the right size is actually quite important for you. Because of the right watch, it can highlight personal temperament and personality. Many times we choose according to our own preferences and comfort level. However, the size of the watch diameter is not suitable for the size of the wrist, so it is difficult to find a watch of the right size. Then how should we know whether the size of the watch diameter is suitable for us?

How do a mechanical watch work?

How to operate the mechanical watch, we should first clearly know what is the mechanical watch and its components, and finally make out its working principle. Through these we can understand the operation process of the mechanical watch.

Watch accidental shutdown is not a fault?

There are some accidental factors: such as, forgot to go up, after dialing the needle forgot to push the handle head, or in the process of using by accidental vibration to spring hang, or a part stuck will cause shutdown, but then it can be restored to normal in time.

Distinguish the watch of "retrograde" and "fly back" function

In life, we always regard "retrograde" and "fly back" functions as the same thing. Although the two functions of retrograde and fly back look similar, it is difficult to distinguish them. In fact, the functions and mechanical construction principles of the two are completely different!

How does a watch work?

There are two kinds of watches, one is quartz watch, the other is mechanical watch. Although the production of mechanical watches is low, but the value is very important, mechanical watches account for 75% of the total value of the watch industry.

Can a mechanical watch tell the direction?

Now that information and technology are so advanced, do we need a mechanical watch? Of course we do, because it not only has the function of reading the time, but also can use the pointer of the mechanical watch to distinguish the direction and save itself when it is critical. In remote places, the signal is still very weak, so the mobile phone signal will not be accepted. So mechanical watches are also like compasses. When we go hiking or get lost, we can borrow a mechanical watch to tell the direction.

Can you wind a automatic watch?

There are a lot of customers often say that the time difference of the watch is too big, I think it may be the wrong number of winding, or in the magnetic field, the watch time is not accurate. I have a mechanical watch myself, but why don't I have jet lag problems. I can tell you how to wind a watch to ensure the time accuracy.

How do you solve the problem of water in the watch?

If the watch water is best sent to the watch shop for inspection, water in the watch situation to do drying, washing oil and drip oil treatment. Unable to watch the first time to the repair shop, you can do a simple emergency treatment. Let me introduce some methods to you.

How to degauss the watch？
