Mechanical self-winding watches - a prestigious accessory

The times when the things around us were only items of prime necessity have sunk into oblivion. At this stage, each person at hand is a huge number of accessories that can tell a lot about the owner: his tastes, habits and status. Such things include mechanical watches. With or without automatic winding, different cost and from different manufacturers - the customer can choose any model.

Index of prestige and status

Earlier, wristwatches performed only one function: they were determined by time. Now this meaning has lost its value. Thanks to the development of technology and technology, you can determine the time by mobile phone or any other gadget.

Why, then, do mechanical self-winding wristwatches still use frenzied popularity? The answer is prestige. It is with the help of this accessory that you can subtly emphasize your status. If earlier, in order to stand out from the crowd, it was necessary to have a crimson jacket or a kilogram of gold ornaments, now a person's high status can be determined not by stylish clothes, namely by his watch.

Fashion changes with time, but the concepts of taste and position in society are eternal. A good mechanical watch with a self-winding is an accessory that will be popular both yesterday, today and tomorrow. They have passed through the ages and have not lost their significance. Therefore it is not surprising that both women and men are striving to acquire a quality and expensive chronometer. There is one feature that combines watches and wine. A good and seasoned wine is valued much more expensive than just made. And with the clock: the longer their lifespan, the higher their price. Not surprisingly, many family relics include the amazing beauty of the chronometers that are passed from generation to generation and serve each one faithfully.

The mechanism of work

Precise time, long service life and reliability favorably distinguish mechanical watches with automatic winding from their quartz "brethren". Most modern models are based on the Swiss work mechanism. Everyone knows that this country is famous for the whole world for its reliability and quality, whether it be watches or banks. It is thanks to the Swiss mechanism that the accessory will work long and without interruption.

Any mechanical clock works according to the following principle: a spiral spring installed in the head (which is twisted by a person), drives the sprocket, and that, in turn, is the entire mechanism of the accessory. However, many are frightened by the need to adjust the chronometer. Then, meeting the customers, the craftsmen created a self-winding mechanical watch that works without stopping, so there is no need to "twist the wheel". These accessories continue to work on the energy released by humans.

How to choose?

It is worth noting that the clocks of this category are a little cumbersome. Therefore, fans of refinement and miniature details such a chronometer may not like. Perhaps the negative point is the difficulty of repairing this mechanism: any mechanical damage can "fly in a pretty penny."

Despite the huge choice of models, the buyer may face some difficulties. So, when buying a watch, you need to decide on several key parameters. The first is the price. Good watches can not be cheap. So at once the variants of the "first copies", "made according to the Swiss technology in the city of N", etc. are immediately excluded, etc. Even if the 500-ruble chronometer looks like a real "Rolex" - the buyer will not feel full satisfaction from such an accessory. Among the manufacturers of good watches, Japan stands out with its budget prices: Seiko and Orient will please both practical ladies and men.

Style is also of great importance when choosing. It is worth noting that due to different operating conditions, male chronometers models are an order of magnitude larger than female ones. However, both categories include waterproof mechanical watches with automatic winding. You can choose the option that demonstrates its internal mechanism.

Of course, a huge advantage has always been enjoyed and enjoyed by collections of Swiss producers. True, their chronometers will be an order of magnitude more expensive than the proposed analogs, but the style and exclusive assembly will more than pay off a high price.

A mechanical watch is an attribute of power, success and self-confidence. This accessory will tell about its owner much more than his clothes and appearance.
