The most important accessory in a man’s wardrobe is his watch. For those of you who haven’t quite grasped the idea of buying designer watches, here are a few tips. Just like buying diamonds- cut, clarity, carat and color, in watches, there are 5 terms you would need to equip yourself with so that you can look professional and sound like an industry pro.
First of all-complication. This refers to functions in the watch that go beyond simple timekeeping. This function can start with an annual or lunar calendar, to an alarm system or glow in the dark mechanisms of just the basic stopwatch. It depends on you- if you want a highly complicated gizmo, then the more functions the better.
Next is the movement of the watch. You know you don’t know that much about clockworks, but at least, get yourself educated with terms like watch gears- all those tiny bits and pieces that make the clock tick. Again, with more functions on your watch, the more bits and pieces are included into the watch.
When selecting your designer watches, look for the quartz. More accurate watches have a movement that is powered by a battery and regulated by the oscillations of a quartz crystal. And this movement is found on really expensive designer watches. If the watch fits your bill, then you can buy one.
Next is self-winding. This is a type of mechanical watch that contains a rotor on a pivot that is wound up according to the day-to-day movements of the wearer’s wrist. This function is interestingly known as automatic.
Last but not least, water resistance. We know your designer watch says its water resistance. But, its resistance has its limits- and that is up to a hundred meters of being submerged in water. So don’t go paddling away for a long period of time to be on the safe side.
