 Watches have
become the essential part of the human image throughout many years. Today
watches show the time, they complement the image of a businessman or so, they
have been the object for admiration and envy and they have the feature to open
doors. Plenty of watches based on quartz and mechanic clockwork, electronics,
made from rubber and diamonds, incrusted with gems and simple, are offered
today and the choice depends on many factors, from personal preferences to
financial wealth. However, mastering some hints on watches is a good part in
this game to acquire watches you worth.
Battery and winding-based watches
Watches are
divided into two groups on the performance type or feed type, that is
mechanical and quartz. As a rule, the clockwork for expensive watches by the
reputed brands requires the regular manual winding. The spring in the watch case
twisted in this way is the feed source. However, the clockwork is equipped with
additional auto-winding system for better performance which singly regulates
the process of feed and makes it easy to handle watches without moving minute
hands on a regular basis. This is how mechanical watcheswork.
Quartz watch
is the best option since the feed source comes as galvanic or solar batteries and
which do not require winding. The quartz crystal works as a pendulum which
twists the clockwork influenced by electric impulses. Such watches have dial plate
with hands and the display with numerical indication, so often called electronic
clock. However, the quartz clockwork is considered nondurable as compared with
the mechanical clockwork since the crystal has the capacity to age and thus the
watch start performing with deviations but it occurs in some long period of
time.
Watches for
real men
In most
cases the choice for this or that watch is done based upon personal
preferences, budget and occupation type, and sometimes the occasion matters,
either.
So, the most
reputed are the watches of professional type which are appropriate for
businessmen, politicians and simply wealthy persons. This class of watches
includes luxe models with the single advantage of the high accuracy of the
complicated and reliable clockwork along with the high pricing.
Such watches
are mainly manufactured from precious metals as gold, platinum and rarely
silver. Titanium, stainless steel and various alloys are also used to make
watches from. The style is classic, the case is round or square without any
marks on the bezel. Roman or Arab numerals are there on the dial plate, the color
gamut ranges from white to elegant black or to match the leather strap or the
case. Watches should not stand out against the image though they should be the
symbol of success and elegance of the owner. The models by the reputed brand
Patek Philippe are the vivid examples of watches for businessmen being the favorite
brand for officials and politicians. This list of highly-acknowledged and
recognized watch-making companies is added made by Franck Muller, Rolex,
A.Lange & Sohne, which manufacture series of watches for men and women. The
category of ultra-delicate clockwork is highly appreciated when the width of
the caliber does not go over four mm. so, watches Ultra Thin 681 by Zenith Company
or Gold 85-1011 by Appella refer to this category. Such watches are known for
reliability and accuracy of clockwork and smaller weight which is especially
essential when watches are opt made from gold or platinum with precious
wristlets.
Jeweler or designer watches
Sometimes
when examining the collection of watch-making brands it is fund to be a little
bit complicated to sort out watches for businessmen and those made as jewelry.
An austere classic case from steel or color gold, leather wristlet and dial
plate with Roman numerals is what the watch for businessman should look like.
However, the slightly visual black diamonds instead of the hour hands or the
diamond trimming makes the watches go out from the series of just watches to
become the jewelry work. Thus, the watch model for men Patrimony Traditionnelle
by Vacheron Constantin with the case from pink gold weighing 18 carats, brown
wristlet from alligator skin is the classic standard with white gems instead of
numeral marks. The second version from the same collection is made from white gold
as the diamond sunflower with the dial plate wholly incrusted with classically
facetted diamonds. Such watches look inappropriate just for cases to negotiate in
offices, though they look too appropriate to have a dinner at the restaurant
with the partners. Women’s watches differ when they are abundantly incrusted
with precious metals and gems. So, a model of watch from the collection Ladies
Timepieces the have been completely done by diamond framing and in spite of the
strict leather wristlet the jewelry is not appropriate to wear as a business
wear accessory.
Nevertheless,
the leather as the material for watches has the feature to wear and tear
especially when watches are used daily. And thus, you’d better think of the
additional accessory as a wristlet ahead of time. However, well-known brands offer
their watches along with the second wristlet or metal bracelet in the set.
In most
cases designer watches look the same and appear the same as the jeweler work
with some slight exceptions. So, application of non-standard material along
with the unique case, bezel and wristlet make watches stand out of other time
keepers. In general, the same precious and semi-precious gems are applied, with
plenty of color gold and platinum, and logo of the designer, surely. Thus, the
collection of watches by JLo, the well-known Hollywood
singer and actress, offers exclusive women’s watches incrusted with precious
stones and Swarovski crystals. Metal bracelet is made as shapely links
resembling real laced work in some models with the logo as Jennifer Lopez on
the dial plate.
The basic nuance
that requires the attention is the authenticity of the product which can be
verified and proved by the certificate of quality only with specification of
carats and quality of stones. And thus, if you plan to acquire the authentic
watches with real stones, you’d better go and shop at brand stores and
exclusive distributors of watches to avoid disappointment.
Sport timekeepers
When
looking for sports watches, some factors should be considered as where and how
such timekeepers are to be used. So, the shockproof clockwork is required for
diving to boast with leakproofness and capacity to endure pressure in several
atmospheres. As a rule, the passport says of waterproof ness marked as WR30 or
WR50, where 30 and 50 show the depth of diving in meters, though diving as a
sport requires WR100, at least. Bezel should be marked with the 0 to 60, the
case is larger with the shifted winding head, the dial plate is black with
luminescent numerical marks and hands. The examples of sports timekeepers come KonTiki
Diver by Eterna, the series with two winding heads Aquatimer by IWC, or the
timekeeper Seamaster by Omega.
Pilot
watches hace larger cases convenient to read numerals, dial plate with
luminescent hands and Arab numerals. So, models of watches Navitimer Cosmonaute
Flyback, Aeromarine Colt GMT, Mulliner Tourbillon by Breitling llok the same.
The special
attention is exerted to the material watches are made from. The case is made from
the high-strength ally as titanium, gold, stainless steel or plastic made by
the reputed brands which apply the patented series as Hublot or Casio. The
wristlet is reliable and durable made from leather, often from alligator skin,
comes as rubber or metal.
And
finally, the watch of high quality cannot be acquired in an ordinary shop.
You’d better go and get them at specialized stores where professionals consult
you on every single model to choose.
