History of Mechanical Watches - A Glimpse

Mechanical watches evolved in 17th Century Europe from spring-powered clocks, which came into existence in the 15th Century. Mechanical watches are purchased for their luxury and aesthetic values today. They are held in high esteem in appreciation of their precision and craftsmanship. A mechanical watch uses a clockwork mechanism to measure time, whereas quartz watches function on a small battery.

They are primarily mechanical hand wind watches run by a mainspring, which must be wound by hand or with its self-winding mechanism. But even the best mechanical watches, sometimes, do not work accurately. They are required to be cleansed and calibrated by skilled watchmakers. After the 1970's the mechanical watches became a high-end product appreciated as a status symbol, while the quartz watches took over most of the watch market.

FAQs

1. How accurate is a mechanical watch?

Easily influenced by environmental conditions, a mechanical watch is as accurate as the environment's stability. Depending on the temperature, the position of the watch, movements of your arm, or the amount the spring is wound, the accuracy of the mechanical watch changes.

2. What are the factors influencing accuracy majorly?

As the mainspring is wound and small metal parts work in tandem, power is generated, making a mechanical watch work. But the fragility of those small metal parts makes them susceptible to environmental conditions such as gravity, shock, and temperature. Additionally, movements of your arms, regular usage time, and the winding state of the mainspring influence the watch's accuracy.

3. How can I improve the accuracy of my watch?

If you want to keep your mechanical watch working accurately, you must keep winding the mainspring every single day, at a fixed time, even if the watch has a self-winding mechanism.

4. How do I keep my watch running for a lifetime?

Besides winding the watch, if its tiny metal components are kept well-lubricated, free from dirt, moisture, or dirt, a mechanical watch will last for generations. It is quite normal to experience wear and tear due to everyday usage. Hence, it is recommended that you get them serviced every 3-5 years.

5. If quartz watches are cheaper and more accurate, why should I opt for a mechanical watch?

Yes, quartz watches are cheaper and more accurate at any time, but mechanical watches are not about achieving accuracy. They are about aesthetics, craftsmanship and tradition. The allure of mechanical watches lies in their emotional value.

6. For how long can a mechanical watch continuously work?

As is the case with most mechanical watch brands, they operate anywhere between 36 to 42 hours, implying that the watch functions for the entire duration on a full mainspring wind.

7. Are mechanical watches reliable as compared to quartz watches?

Since battery-powered quartz watches are more accurate, they barely lose about 4 seconds a month, whereas even fully wound mechanical watches may end up losing 5-10 seconds every day. When it comes to time-keeping accuracy, quartz watches are more reliable.

8. Do mechanical watches run on batteries?

No, mechanical watches do not run on batteries. Their functioning depends on hand-winding.

9. How do I make my mechanical watch function more accurately?

If you vertically put your watch on the case size, it will help you slow down your watch. To regulate your watch's accuracy, keep it in the correct direction.

10. Why are mechanical watches so expensive?

Mechanical watches are expensive because of their luxury and craftsmanship value.
