Key Components of Luxury Watches

Anatomy Parts

Mechanical movements, whether manual or automatic, use gears and springs, while quartz movements require batteries. Despite quartz accuracy, collectors prefer mechanical watches for their centuries-old craftsmanship and expertise.

Fundamentals of Watch Design Elements

Watch Anatomy Essentials

The anatomy of a watch encompasses all the individual components that work together to measure and display time. Key parts include the case, which houses and protects the inner workings; the dial, featuring hour markers and hands; and the movement, the mechanism driving the watch. Other essential elements are the crown for setting time, the crystal protecting the dial, and the bracelet or strap securing the watch to the wrist.

Watch Bezels

Diving Bezel

A diving bezel allows divers to monitor their air supply by tracking dive time using minute markers from 0 to 60 on a unidirectional rotating bezel. For safety, it only rotates counterclockwise. Before diving, the bezel is set to match the diver's air tank supply.

Timing Bezel

Similar to a diving bezel, a timing bezel can move both clockwise and counterclockwise. It is versatile and can be used for various timing tasks such as parking meters or cooking.

Ardillon Buckle

A classic buckle where one end of the strap is threaded through a buckle and secured with a pin for an adjustable fit.

Deployant Buckle

A leather strap connected to a folding metal buckle, offering added safety compared to a traditional Ardillon buckle. If the buckle opens, the watch remains attached to the wrist. This design was invented in the early 20th century.

How to Gauge Water Protection

Water Resistance

Understanding water resistance is crucial for wristwatch care. In the U.S., the term "waterproof" is not permitted by the Federal Trade Commission since any watch can leak under certain conditions. However, "waterproof" is commonly used elsewhere. A watch is deemed water resistant if it can endure the pressure at 30 meters (99 feet). Water resistance is also measured in "atmospheres" (ATM), with one ATM equaling 10 meters or 33 feet. Thus, a watch with a 3 ATM rating is water resistant up to 99 feet.
