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. Each component is meticulously crafted and assembled to ensure both functionality and aesthetic appeal, embodying the art and science of watchmaking.

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.

Movement

Crown

The mechanism for winding the movement and adjusting functions like date and time. To enhance water resistance, crowns can screw into the case, forming a seal against moisture or water.

Lugs

Attachments on the case that allow for a strap or bracelet to be connected to the watch case.

Dial

On the face of the watch, there are many different ways that a dial can be marked.

Strap

A leather or rubber attachment that secures the watch to the wrist. Metal attachments, usually made from stainless steel or gold, are referred to as bracelets.

Subdial

A smaller dial within the main dial used to display additional complications like chronograph readouts, seconds, or date.
