Watch Glossary

A
Acrylic Crystal: Sometimes referred to as Hesolite or Hesalite, an acrylic crystal is basically plastic. Polymethylacrylate is often used. Benefits of an acrylic crystal are that is flexes rather than shatters on impact, it doesn't produce too much glare under bright light and it can be polished easily.

Alarm: Alarm functions may be fitted (most commonly) to battery powered quartz watches; the alarm with beep at the pre-set time. There are mechanical alarm watches featuring a hammer which produces the alarm sound at the pre-set time. Most noteworthy examples are perhaps the Revue Thommen Cricket and the Jaeger Le Coultre Memovox.

Amplitude: Sometimes used to describe the frequency of a mechanical movement, however seems more often used to describe the angle of oscillation of the balance wheel either side of its neutral position. This would therefore be measured in degrees, for example 'an amplitude of 270 degrees'.

Analogue: Analogue simply refers to the means of showing the time on a watch dial by means of hands which point to the hours, minutes and usually seconds.

Anchor: The anchor, sometimes referred to as Swiss anchor helps perform the final part of the mechanical process in a mechanical watch in order to divide the seconds and provide accurate timekeeping. Moving side to side, the anchor allows the final wheel (escape wheel) to rotate one cog at a time. This process produces the ticking sound of a mechanical watch.

Automatic: Automatic or automatic watches usually refers to those mechanical watches which wind themselves by means of a swinging mass or rotor (which rotates by arm movement) which through a series of gears, winds the mainspring which in turn powers the watch.

B
Battery EOL: Battery End Of Life indicator. This function forewarns of impending battery failure in a quartz watch by means of the second hand jumping in two or sometimes four second intervals. The wearer usually has approximately two weeks before battery failure.
Bezel: The bezel is the topmost ring of the watch, surrounding the dial of the watch. A bezel may be fixed or in the case of a diver's watch, rotating. It can either be plain (usually fixed) or can be marked with, for example a 0-60 minute scale in the case of divers' watches. Older rotating bezels were usually bi-directional, modern diving watches are equipped with a unidirectional bezel.

Blued Screws: Traditionally, high quality movements were fitted with screws which were artificially blued, more for decoration than function.

C
Calendar: The calendar mechanism or function on a watch can consist of a date only showing in a window through to a triple calendar, showing the date, day and month. A combination of dial cut outs and pointer hands may be used. The most complicated calendar mechanisms may be mechanically programmed to show the year, and months including those with less that 31 days; leap years can also be mechanically allowed for. Sometimes referred to as perpetual calendars.

Chronograph: A chronograph is a mechanism for measuring short time spans independently of the normal timekeeping function. Many mechanical chronographs measure up to 12 hours with indicators for seconds, minutes (usually to 30) and hours.

Chronometer: Movements which meet specific timekeeping criteria laid down by the Swiss Official Chronometer Control are awarded a Chronometer Certificate. Movements are usually tested out of the case for 15 days and nights in various positions and at various temperatures.

Crown: The crown, often referred to as the winding crown or winder is used for winding the watch in the case of a non-automatic, for setting the hands to the correct time and often for setting the date in the case of calendar equipped watches. On diving/sports models, the crown may be screw down whereby it screws onto a threaded tube which protrudes from the case of the watch. This often ensures superior water resistance.

Crystal: The crystal is the clear cover over the dial. Can be referred to as the glass. Various materials have been used over the years including acrylic, mineral (glass) and sapphire.

D
Decorated Movement: Some watch movements come highly decorated, for example with Geneva Stripes and blued screws. Whilst decoration may not improve function, it often indicates a degree of hand assembly/finishing and an attention to detail in the construction of a watch. Some watches show off the decorated movement through the use of a display back.

Dial: The dial, often referred to as the face is usually marked with numbers or batons to which the hands point in order for the wearer to tell the correct time. Dials themselves can be very simple, sometimes with no markers at all or extremely complex as in the case of pilots' chronographs. Dials can be decorated with patterns or in some cases with precious stones.

Digital Display: As opposed to an analogue display, a digital display shows the time in numbers. Most often used with LCD displays in the case of a quartz watch, during the 1960's there were many mechanical digitals with rotating discs instead of hands. Cut outs in the dial would show the correct time. The first quartz digital watches came onto the market in the early/mid 1970s; for example the Pulsar Time Computer.

Diver's Watch: Divers' watches traditionally are large, featuring a graduated rotating bezel and often a screw down winding crown. Water resistant to 200m as a minimum, the modern diver's watch must confirm to certain standards laid down for example by ISA in order to be classified as a Scuba Divers Watch.

E
Ebauche: The ebauche refers to the basic movement. To this, a particular manufacturer may add complications, decorate the movement or refine the movement by adding higher grade components.

Escapement: The escapement in a mechanical watch refers to a combination of parts including the anchor, pallets and balance wheel amongst others which translate the power of the mechanism into regular timekeeping. The escapement is responsible for the familiar ticking sound of a mechanical watch.

F
Flyback: This phrase is often used to describe two different functions of a chronograph watch. Some use it to describe the function of depressing a chronograph button which returns the seconds hand to zero but immediately starts the timing again. Also (probably wrongly) used to describe the split seconds chronograph which has two seconds hands sitting atop one another. On depression of a third chronograph button (most have two), the flyback hand will stop in order to measure say, a lap time; repressing this button with cause the flyback hand to flyback(!) to the other seconds hand which has remained in motion.

Frequency: Amplitude, in the case of mechanical watches refers to how many times an hour the watch goes tick for a given time period! It is often referred to as half-swings per hour or beats per hour (BPH). Thus a watch beating at an amplitude of 28,800 per hour ticks 8 times per second.

G
Gear Train: The gears used in a mechanical watch which run from the mainspring which powers the watch through to the escapement which translates that power into timekeeping.

Geneva Stripes: A form of decoration in higher grade watch movements which look like stripes on the movement plates. These used to be applied by hand; in many cases in modern times, they are very simply applied by machine.

Guilloche: A form of decoration for watch dials, giving the dial great depth. Often applied to silver or silvered dials.

H
Handwind/Handwound: Simply describes a watch with a mechanical movement which needs to be wound by the wearer using the winding crown. This winds the mainspring up which then releases its energy to power the watch.

Hack/Hacking: Describes the feature of a movement whereby the seconds hand can be stopped for exact setting of the time. Originally a military term for this feature.

I
Incabloc: Incabloc is a trade name for a type of shock absorbing device/spring used to protect the delicate parts of the mechanical watch escapement. Mentioned here as it is probably the most widely used and some watch manufacturers used to draw attention to it by referring to it on the watch dial itself.

Index/Indices: Usually refers to the markings on the dial of a watch showing hours and minutes. Can however refer to the markings on the regulator of a watch movement to aid precision adjustment for accurate timekeeping.

J
Jewels: In the mechanical watch and some quartz watches, jewels (usually made from synthetic ruby) are used as bearings for those parts of the movement subject to constant motion. They are not valuable at all in the monetary sense but they are valuable in aiding the precise running of a watch over a long period and reducing wear. It is a fallacy that the more jewels the better the watch. A basic handwound mechanical usually comprises 17 jewels which in the main is the optimum count. Automatics may require more for the winding mechanism itself. In the 1960s there appeared to be a competition to see who could fit the most jewels in a watch movement, manufacturers proudly referred to 100 Jewels on the dial; opening the watch usually revealed that up to 80% of these jewels had no purpose and were simply mounted here and there on the movement to up the jewel count!

Jumping Hour: System of timekeeping whereby the seconds and minutes are shown by traditional hands but the hour is shown in a dial cutout (often at 12), on the minutes hand reaching 59 minutes, the hour disc under the dial will jump to the next hour.

K
Kif: A trade name for a shock absorbing system; in a similar vein to Incabloc above.

L
LCD Display: Or Liquid Crystal Display; used for the display on most modern digital watches. Followed from the earlier LED or Light Emitting Diode display of the first quartz digital watches. The LCD was preferred as it used vastly less power than the LED thus the time could be shown constantly as opposed to having to press a button for time display.

Lugs: Protrusions on the case of a watch to which the bracelet or strap is fitted. Various types of lugs can be found such as rounded lugs, teardrop lugs and hidden lugs.

M
Movement: Simply used to describe the workings or engine(!) of a watch, be it mechanical or quartz. Often referred to as a calibre by manufacturers.

Mineral Crystal: Watch crystal made from what is essentially a form of glass. More scratch resistant than acrylic, a mineral crystal will however scratch and is extremely difficult, if not impossible to polish.

N
Nivarox/Nivaflex: Trade names for the metal alloy used for many Swiss watch mainsprings and hairsprings. These materials self compensate for the effects of temperature (e.g. expansion and contraction), are extremely strong and corrosion resistant.

O
O-Ring: O rings are used to seal the backs of watches which feature either a press-in back or a screw on back. They ensure water resistance. Usually also used on the winding stems of watches and in the winding crowns to protect against the ingestion of water and dust. Normally made from a rubber/plastic compound.

P
Power Reserve: In its purest sense, used to refer to how long a watch will run once fully wound. Thus a watch with a power reserve of 48 hours should run for that period. Often used to describe a watch which has a power reserve indicator on the dial (usually a small pointer hand and a relevant scale).

Q
Quartz: Used to describe a watch powered by an oscillating quartz crystal which draws its power from a small battery. Oscillating 32,768 times per second, an electronic circuit divides this oscillation into precise increments of 1 second or less. Used in both digital and analogue watches. Whilst derided by many purists as disposable and of little soul, the quartz watch is nonetheless extremely accurate. Watches have been made super-accurate by using a much higher frequency (e.g. 4.2 million cycles per second) or by using two oscillators and by using temperature compensation.

R
Rattrapante: used to describe the split seconds chronograph (see Flyback) which has two seconds hands sitting atop one another. On depression of a third chronograph button (most have two), the flyback hand will stop in order to measure say, a lap time; repressing this button with cause the flyback hand to flyback(!) to the other seconds hand which has remained in motion.

Register: Another name for a sub-dial; this is usually a dial within the main dial of a watch. The best example is possibly a chronograph where there may be registers for the chronograph minutes and hours. Some watches have registers with pointers showing the day and date.

Retrograde: Used to describe a pointer hand on a watch dial (often a sub-dial) which returns to zero at the end of a prescribed period. For example a watch may have retrograde date - in this case the hand moves up a scale a day at a time, pointing to the current date - when it reaches 31 it will spring back to 1

Rotor: The oscillating mass which winds an automatic movement. A rotor most commonly is free to rotate in a full 360 degrees and may wind the watch when it is rotating in one direction only or indeed may wind in both directions through the use of reverser wheels and gears.

S
Sapphire Crystal: Synthetic sapphire formed for use as the crystal of a watch. Extremely scratch resistant (9 on the Moh scale), a sapphire crystal is the material of choice for many watch collectors. The downsides are that sapphire can chip at the edges if they protrude and can shatter.

Screw Crown: A watch winding crown which screws tightly to the case of the watch on a tube; the purpose is to ensure extreme water resistancy.

Shock-Resist: Describes a watch that has certain components of the movement protected by shock absorbing devices. Most often the escapement of the movement is protected by such, more specifically the balance staff.

Sub-Dial: See Register above; a dial within or on the main dial of a watch.
T
Tachymeter: A scale used to measure units per hour. Commonly found on the bezels of chronograph watches, an event is timed by using the chronograph seconds hand. The hand is stopped when the event ends and the hand will point to the number of units per hour that could be achieved.

Tourbillon: A complex piece of micro-engineering which results in the escapement of a watch rotating on its own axis; the object of the exercise is to cancel out the variations in running regularity which can be caused by the watch being in different positions; (a watch may gain in one position yet lose in another).

Tritium: An isotope of hydrogen used in the luminous compounds which give watch dials and hands their glow in the dark capabilities. Many watch dials will show a small T at the bottom, indicating the use of tritium. The half life of tritium is 12.5 years thus it will lose its ability to provide illumination as time passes. Now largely superceded by non-radioactive organic compounds such as the trade name Luminova.

U
UTC: Universal Time Co-ordinated. A universal time based on the Greenwich Meridian used by the military and in aviation. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) can be considered approximately equivalent to Universal Time Co-ordinated(UTC).. GMT as such is now obsolete however, being replaced by UTC. Using this timezone/standard avoids errors and problems associated with different timezones and summer times operational in different countries.

W
Water Resist/WR: Watches have varying degrees of water resistancy, ranging from WR30 Meters to some specialist watches having a capability of withstanding water to 10000 Meters. The usual for a diver's watch is 200m whilst 100m would be suitable for everyday swimming.Winder/Winding Crown: Same as Crown, above. Used for winding the watch and setting time/date.

X
X-Ray Vision: What you need these days to detect some of the counterfeit Rolex watches in circulation. Be careful!

Z
Zulu Time: Yet another reference to GMT and UTC! The use of this phrase is prevalent in civil aviation and military. Why Zulu? Well, Zulu is the phonetic for Z and the Z is for the Zero meridian, being that meridian passing through Greenwich.

value of a watch

there are different categories of value of a watch:

Historical

Every watch has its history. Some watches represent the technology of a period of time; some watches recorded an historical event (e.g. Omega moonwatch); some watches remind you the past (e.g. your birthday gift). Of course, if more people know its history, more effects of the technology, more the value !

Materials

It is obvious that a watch which is made of gold, platinum and other expensive materials will cost you more.

Completeness

Besides of the watch, the box, the invoice, the tags (e.g. Rolex) and other stuffs came with the watch affect the total value.

Rarity

Rarer = $

Quality

Number of jewels used:

Jewels can reduce the friction between the movement parts; therefore, more jewels are used, the watch can run smoother and longer.

C.O.S.C. certificed:

If a watch is C.O.S.C. certified, it has higher accuracy because of using better parts.

Material of case:
Besides of the value of gold or platinum itself, these two material can last for decades without damage by the nature; therefore, most valuable old watches used gold or platinum as material of the case and some parts of the movement.

Functions
More functions = more value !
Repeater, Chronography, Split second,Tourbillion, Perpetual calendar, Moon phase, Scuba diving, G.M.T., Power reserve indicator, Fly back, Retrograde, Multi-days, etc

Conditions

Dial:Cracks, chips, and discolouration or fading of the dial reduce the value; however, "re-write" or repair the dial also reduce the historical value.

Case:The covers should be screwed on properly to a tight fit, the crystal should be clear. Be careful of the gold or silver plating, there should not have cracks or chips.

Movement:Make sure all functions work properly !Moreover, the movement should be all original pieces without modifications by others. Any modifications from the original should be documented. It should have no serious wear on the parts.

Brand name

Brands with high auction price:
Patek Philippe
Vachron Constantin
Audemars Piguet
Breguet
I.W.C.
Piaget
Cartier
Jaeger Lecoultre
Rolex

Replica
There are many replicas or fakes in the market, especailly in the Internet. Therefore, do not buy a watch from a stranger without examination. Be careful of some old watches with very good conditions.

Water Proof

Water Proof Test
1：Fill the cylinder with water up to the red line.
2：Hang the watch on the hook, out of the water and screw on the lid tightly.Be sure that the watch is in the position completely out of the water.
3：Close the air-releasing valve.
4：Increase pressure with the lever, pumping up to any given pressure.1 atmosphere pressure = 10 m depth
5：Immerse the watch into the water.
6：Release air pressure gradually by opening the air-releasing valve.
7：If the watch is not perfectly water-tight, bubbles will emerge where the water tightness is incomplete (e.g. round the crown, glass, back of the case). Please note some bubbles may also appear on the external turning bezel, or the crown, this is because of a little residual external air.
8：Test finish, take out the watch before the indicator reaches zero.

Most people ask: Can I wear my watch to swim ?
Mark on watch Hand Wash Swimming Skin Diving Scuba Diving
Water Resist OK NO NO NO
50 M OK NO NO NO
100 M OK OK OK NO
200 M or more OK OK OK OK
100 M = 330 feet

Caution:
1. Check the water proof of your watch before each Scuba Diving and every year because the water proof mechanism may fail because of aging or daily damage.
2. Do not put the watch in water with soap or detergent. Soap reduces the surface tension of water and let the water goes into the watch easily. Detergent has the same effect as soap and it may damage the rubber seal, too.
A watch marked 50 M of water resist means it can stay steadily under the 50 M of water. When you are swimming, the watch moves violently with your body; therefore, the actual pressure applies on the watch is much more than the pressure applies on the watch under 50 M of water. That is why you cannot wear it to swim.

For the same reason, do not flush a watch under the tap, the pressure of running water is damaging for some expensive water resist dress watch.

TAG Heuer Replica Watches in the World of Sports

Why do TAG Heuer replica watches become increasingly popular over time? The fans of the brand appreciate TAG Heuer timepieces as the leading sports watch models. They are aware that every Tag Heuer replica watch is based upon a prestigious history of the original Swiss watch-making brand. Tag Heuer continues to introduce new technology, having developed the first timekeeping device in the world to measure time accuracy within1/100th of a second. In the most demanding sports even 1/1000th of a second is able to make the difference.

At present, if you are interested in modern sporting events, you are sure to notice that TAG Heuer watches have been closely associated with the most prestigious and famous of them. The brand has been the official timekeeper for the Formula 1 World Championship since 1969, not to mention the brand?s watch is featured on the wrist of Tiger Woods. The brand has also achieved great fame by keeping time for the Olympic Games since the 1920s and the FIS Ski World Cup since 1992. TAG Heuer?s successful partnership with Team McLaren Mercedes was marked by cooperation with Mika H?kkinen, Driver World Champion of 1998-1999 and with David Coulthard, the champion of the celebrated Monaco Grand Prix in 2000 and 2002. David Coulthard greatly contributed to the elaboration of the TAG Heuer Microtimer watch. TAG Heuer's prolonged firm relationship with the world of sports encourages the appearance of innovative designs distinctive for their vigor and grace united with functionality and refinement. Being based upon such high-profile events, it is no surprise the Tag Heuer Formula 1 watch was born.

Among TAG Heuer replica watches you will discover a rich selection of timepieces aimed at those involved in any kind of sports activity. Tag Heuer watch line of stylish sports watches and chronographs comprises reliable timekeeping companions from the Tag Heuer Formula 1 and more recent Tag Heuer Link watch series.

Tag Heuer‘s Formula 1 Replica Watch Collection

The design of the Tag Heuer Formula 1 replica watches is first of all associated with Kimi R?ikonen?s driving his McLaren Mercedes. Tag Heuer?s Formula 1 watch collection has been designed in a successful attempt to make an auto-racing lovers? dream come true. The Formula 1 watch was initially introduced by Tag Heuer in 1986. Several of the world?s most prominent auto-racing drivers have been honored to become the timepiece?s ambassadors, with Kimi R?ikonen racing for Team McLaren Mercedes Formula One being the most famous of all since 2004.

The first thing you will probably notice about the Formula 1 replica watches is their bright colors. Tag Heuer managed to bring the daring color design to the higher level, having united the dial color with accents put on the outside of the case. If you are interested in the red dial variation, your timepiece will feature red accents on the external edge of the case. The watches with the black and white dial types demonstrate black accents; consequently the blue dial has blue accents. If you prefer more unconventional shades, why not to acquire the orange dial model, accompanied with the orange rubber strap? It is not for shy personalities.

The Formula 1 watches have been developed in both a chrono and automatic version. The automatic watch model features a dial with silver sub dials and a small date window placed between four and five o'clock. You will see the brand?s Logo below 12 o?clock mark, with the Formula 1 name placed above six o'clock.

If you would like to own a sportier Formula 1 model, pay your attention to the chrono version. The minute and hour sub dials are presented with either black on white or silver on black. The seconds sub dial of the Formula 1 watch is highly distinctive. Tag Heuer designers created the seconds counter for the chronograph featuring the combination of three colors each covering 20 seconds. The colors chosen for the Formula 1 Watches will strongly remind you of a real race automobile dashboard.

Choose a Tag Heuer Formula 1 replica watch if you feel attracted by active leisure time spending, for example, biking, racing or skiing but it is also the ideally suitable timekeeping companion to be worn at a cool party.

The Cult favourite Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris & the link to the United States

JAEGER-LECOULTRE AND WATERPROOF TIMEPIECES FOR DIVING
In June 2007, off the coast of Hawaii, a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) built for Industrial deep sea operation plunged to a depth of 1080M. Secured to its metal structure was a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving GMT watch - strapped onto an open and exposed compartment and monitored by a video feed from the ROV. The whole operation was witnessed by the professional and industrial operating crew, Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO Jerome Lambert and a few privileged international journalists. The same exclusive operation was repeated in the Celebes Sea off Manado in November 2007; this time, another Master Compressor Diving GMT was immersed to a depth of 1088M. As expected by everyone fortunate enough to witness the procedure, the timepiece survived both tests flawlessly. The watch remained accurate, reliable and undamaged on both occasions.
This experiment was the first time a naked wristwatch was witnessed to be tested to such depth outside the theoretical laboratory environment and in the real ocean. As Jaeger-LeCoultre made its indelible mark in haute horlogerie diving watches meant for professionals, it is worth noting that the brand took its first baby diving step in the year 1911…
In a patent (No.FR427.532) applied by Jaeger on 30th May 1911 and granted on 5th August of the same year, Jaeger-LeCoultre mastered a “case system for a watch in two parts fitted one on top of the other, which also has the advantage of being extremely easy to produce and assemble while ensuring a very hermetic seal”. This technique was originally designed to seal the watch against dust, but the basic principle would become useful as the world became increasingly fascinated by water sports and sea explorations.
JAEGER-LECOULTRE AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
When one sees the pervasive presence of Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces in Asia, Europe, North and South America, the global reach of the brand seems natural and logical. In the pre and post World War II period however, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s historical links were strongest in France, Switzerland and the United States of America. LeCoultre & Cie Le Sentier has been the most important movement supplier to the Swiss haute horlogerie brands, and for all intents and purposes; Edmond Jaeger was French and it was him who brought LeCoultre’s watch-making expertise to the French haute horlogerie market.
Although the serious study into JLC’s strong American links is yet to be completed, it was obvious that the unpatented LeCoultre crown winding system was widely adopted by American watchmakers since 1847. Between 1853 and 1857, Founder Antoine LeCoultre associate and son-in-law Jean Gallay finished the LeCoultre watches within his workshop and exported to US via Dorsival of New York. In 1878, Elie Lecoultre also had to set up a new finishing workshop to produce 5000 of Jaeger-LeCoultre 19BV and 19BS calibres meant for Mathey Mathey & Company of New York viaFrères Bertollet (Ponts-de-Martel). By 1885, LeCoultre had delivered simple calibres, chronographs, quarter and minute repeaters movements to the US market.
Most LeCoultre watches were unsigned until 1929, when the “LeCoultre” name appeared on the dial for the first time. At the same time LeCoultre watches were distributed by a company “Spécialites Horlogeres” (SH, subsequently renamed SA des produits Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1937). The company LeCoultre S.H. of America was later setup in 1936 to assert control of LeCoultre watches in the US.
Corporate restructure in 1938 led to Jaeger-LeCoultre and Genevan Vacheron Constantin falling into the same hand of ‘Societe anonyme des participations Industrielles et commerciales’ (SAPIC) and to create synergies within their complex distribution structures in USA, both brands decided to work with Wittnauer, a distribution company established in US since 1866. The partnership between JLC and Wittnauer was to last till 1970s.
To the loyal Jaeger-LeCoultre fans however, the most important role of the American is the origin of their cult favourite, the POLARIS diving watches.
JAEGER-LECOULTRE POLARIS, THE CULT FAVOURITE
As Water Sports and Scuba Diving in particular became the rage in the 1950s, JLC was slowly acquiring the experience in creating a diving watch. The catalytic push however was initiated by Mr. Lowe, the President of LeCoultre Watch Inc. in New York. He submitted a letter to the JLC Board of Directors for the creation of a Diver’s watch, which was accepted by the watch making house. The resultant product was the 1959 Memovox Deep Sea (E857) equipped with calibre 815, the first diver’s alarm watch.
Between 1959 and 1970, Jaeger-LeCoultre was to create a dozen evocatively named diver’s models such as Shark, Voguematic, Dolphin and Barracuda. In vintage catalogues, products names vared according to the intended markets. This practice was commonplace and like all other watches produced by the Manufacture at that time; they were marketed in the US under the LeCoultre brand name whereas in the other markets like Switzerland and France, it carried the Jaeger-LeCoultre signature.
Unknown to JLC at that time, the most famous diving watch would be born in 1963, when JLC created a pre-series of 50 ‘Memovox Diver’s Watch’. Driven by its perpetual quest for innovation, JLC introduced a 42mm watch, a case which was exceptionally large for its time. The large size was perfect for its readability underwater and together with the characteristically JLC triangular alarm hour marker, it gave the watch a distinctive ageless style still very much admired today.
A system was developed to make the watch alarm ring louder underwater. To avoid the sound being muffled by contact with the neoprene diving suit or by direct contact with the watch movement itself, a triple-backed case was used, to ensure water resistance to a depth of 200 metres. It was also equipped with the patented Piquerez Compressor system. To guarantee enhanced security, the bezel was also placed under the dial and activated by a third super-watertight crown positioned between the two characteristic Memovox crowns. The case-back was also stamped with the “Compressor” logo, indicating the ultra water-resistant nature of the watch, this name was later used by JLC in their new Master Compressor line of watches.
For this model, the JLC Calibre 825 was used, featuring an alarm, date window and a cadence of 18,000 vibrations per hour. Like the 42mm case itself, the movement was also large for a wristwatch, corresponding to 14 lignes, meaning 31.6mm in diameter and 7.5mm thick. These spacious dimensions made it possible to endow the mechanism with all the attributes required of a sports watch: durability, precision, reliability and pragmatic functions.
The E859 Memovox Diver’s watch was launched as “Polaris” in the United States; this was suggested by the American as being entirely in tune with the adventurous spirit typical of this period where people were fascinated by polar exploration, oceanographic discoveries and the space race.
It was a period of time when the North Pole (Nautilus) was conquered; Cousteau was exploring the world’s oceans, A depth record of 10,916M was set by Jacques Piccard and Donald Walsh in the “Trieste bathyscaphe”, and also a time of space conquests. Although ‘Polaris’ is the pole star which guides sailors and explorers, the name is more likely due to the first Polaris missile launched by the American Armed Forces in 1961.
The ultra secret Polaris missile project was initiated in 1955 and built by the United States Navy. The missile launch marked a new escalation of the cold war arm race with the then Soviet Union. Considering the rave American media interest on the Polaris missile and the wildly patriotic and hawkish public opinion of the time, this assumption was a logical one.
The Polaris was made and marketed in a total production run of 1,714 watches issued between 1965 and 1970, were delivered on a rubber polymer straps and steel bracelets. The production number, modest by today’s standard was considered a huge success for non mass-marketed specialised timepieces. The Polaris watch, especially the popular 1968 version, remain one of the most highly sought-after diver’s watches among the collectors today. The big, bold, fresh and highly distinctive designs worked as it was introduced in a period where Americans were (and still are), dynamic, adventurous and forward looking.
In 1971, a second version was created and named Memovox Polaris II in the US. Enriched with the latest technological breakthrough, it took the conquest of precision to another level. Its Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 916 belongs to the generation of high-frequency automatic movements that the Manufacture began creating in the 1970s. Its balance oscillates at a cadence of 28,800vph, enabling it to reach new heights of accuracy. The oscillating weight replacing the former winding system spins freely on its axis and was hence dubbed the ‘rotor’. Whichever way it turns, the device equipped with an eccentric and with two spring-clicks to wind the spring barrel. The fact that this movement is still used in the modern Master Compressor Memovox is eloquent proof of its incredible performances.
The Memovox Polaris II was housed within a shockingly revolutionary design at that time. Three dimensional in look, the extremely large egg shaped case framed a dial in blue – the last colour still visible below water. Eleven hundred and twenty Memovox Polaris II watches were made between 1970 and 1972. The dials of the American models carried the initials “HPG” meaning High Precision Guarantee and implying the high-frequency. While some of those for the non Polaris French market featured the letters “GT” (Grande Taille) shaped to form a triangle.
Unlike some LeCoultre watches made in Le Sentier but cased in the US, all the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris and diving watches were produced entirely in Switzerland and shipped complete to the market due to the stringent requirement of the waterproof (now referred as water-resistant) cases.
The cult status of Polaris is undeniably affirmed and the then outrageous size and designs, the 1965 and the 1968 models in particular, are increasingly beautiful and ageless as time passes. There is little doubt that the watch remains a true classic today.
If the Polaris didn’t happen, and is launched today, it would be assumed and accepted as a functional, modern and contemporary timepiece would be instantly popular and successful in a market hungry for new ideas and interesting products.

What are fake and counterfeit watches?

Most popular makes of fine watches are prone to having their designs copied by manufacturers of replica watches. These watches sell from as little as US$10 to several hundred dollars -- but US$100-150 appears to be the most common range. They vary from generic look-alike to exacting reproductions of the exteriors of the genuine watch. Often, even details such as the manufacturers logo, serial numbers, and other markings are reproduced.

Quality and durability can vary highly. One Internet site selling replica Omega watches reported the average life span of many of them to be only 2 to 3 years.

So far, the makers of these watches appear to mainly be making counterfeits of current and recent model watches. Presumably, there is not a large enough market for fakes of older and vintage watches to make it worthwhile to pursue.

But also understand that counterfeit watches are not a new concept -- so you may occasionally encounter fake watches made many years ago. Some of these older fakes were watches of other cheaper brands that were relabeled by repainting the dial with a different logo and at times even stamping the back or movement with marks like would have appeared on the other brand.

Possessing such a watch is not illegal. But the maker and sellers of the replicas are usually in violation of the legal copyrights on the original manufacturer's copyrights and trademarks.

Ryser Watches

After having worked for the Cantonales Technikum institute and at Rado Watches, Ryser Kentfield moved to the USA to start his Swiss Timepieces store in 1990. He tried his own brand at the JCK Show in Las Vegas, but as he says in an interview with Keith W. Strandberg (Europastar) ?it is very difficult because people want a known brand name?. Ryser Kentfield now tries to get retailers world wide, to sell his watches and to get a bit of attention for his brand name. He makes and sells 700 watches a year, but predicts it will be somewhere between 1000 and 2000 pieces in 2007. His watches start at 1100 USD and use an ETA 2824-2 self-winding movement. His website, feature background information on his brand, online collection of watches and a list of retailers. His watches are available in stainless steel, 10micro rose gold plating or yellow gold with PVD coating. I have one tip for mr Kentfield there… get rid of the 10micro rose gold plating and yellow gold with PVD coating.. Those types of inferior finish of materials gives a brand a bad rep. Anyway, all the luck to Ryser Kentfield and his line of watches!

Review of the Orbita Tourbillon Watch Winder

The Orbita Tourbillon is the Porsche of watch winders. It's modern, sleek, sexy, and it ain't cheap. But for the enthusiast who wants the best for his watches, the Orbita will keep them running with both style and precision.

The Orbita Tourbillon looks a little like a bomb from a Die Hard movie with its exposed circuitry and extremely bright LEDs. The chassis is made from four 10mm thick pieces of glass joined together by clear epoxy. Inside, three circuit boards are screwed in place and support two fantastically bright LEDs, and two stainless steel rollers. On top of the rollers rests the barrels inside of which your well wound and precisely rotated automatic watches are tucked, wrapped snuggly around self-conforming foam cushions. Although the barrels are stainless steel, they are lined with soft and gentle plastic which won't scratch your steel, gold, or platinum bracelets, and the rollers have rubber gaskets for securely and quietly gripping and turning the barrels.

Each circuit board contains two LED readouts. The one on the left tells you how many times the watch has been turned, and resets itself automatically at midnight. The LED on the right is actually a highly accurate quartz clock which makes perfect sense as it allows you to calibrate your less accurate automatic watch as you're putting it on in the morning. Bright blue LEDs are soldered below the circuit boards and flash in configurable patterns to draw even more attention to this modern piece of functional industrial art.

Watch

watch small, portable timepiece usually designed to be worn on the person. Other kinds of timepieces are generally referred to as clocks . At one time it was generally believed that the first watches were made in Nuremburg, Germany, c.1500. However, there is now evidence that watches may have appeared at an earlier date in Italy. Early watches were ornate, very heavy, and made in a variety of shapes, e.g., pears, skulls, and crosses; the faces were protected by metal latticework. Watch parts were made by hand until c.1850, when machine methods were introduced by watch manufacturers in the United States. The introduction of machine-made parts not only cut manufacturing costs but increased precision and facilitated repairs. To insure the accuracy of a watch over a long period, bearings made of jewels (usually synthetic sapphires or rubies) are utilized at points subject to heavy wear. The mechanical watch contains a mainspring to drive the watch's mechanism. Part of the mechanism includes a hairspring and an oscillating balance wheel to control the rate at which the mechanism moves. The mainspring is wound by the wearer when he turns a knob outside the watch's casing. The automatic, or self-winding, watch has a mainspring that is wound by an oscillating weight, contained in the watch, that is set into motion by the movements of the wearer. The stopwatch can be stopped or started at will by pressing a tiny button on its edge and is used for timing such events as races. The electric watch, which was introduced by the Hamilton Watch Company in 1957, also uses a hairspring and a balance wheel to regulate the rate at which its mechanism moves, but it has no mainspring. In recent years sophisticated electronic watches have been developed. One type uses the vibrations of an electrically driven tuning fork to determine the rate at which a small motor drives the hands. In another type a crystal oscillator provides a signal that regulates this motion. In the most common type a quartz crystal oscillator is joined to digital counting and digital display circuits, thus eliminating all moving parts. See liquid crystal . Quartz watches with digital displays now account for nearly half of all watch production, since they are inexpensive to produce but are accurate to within several seconds per month. Electric and electronic watches are powered by tiny long-lasting batteries. See chronometer .

What is a Railroad Watch?

Many folks inaccurately describe any watch that is old as a "Railroad Watch".

The term "Railroad Watch" or "Standard Watch" can be traced back to the late 1880's. The most famous incident, the straw that broke the camel's back, occured on April 19th, 1891. A fast mail train known as No. 4 traveling east on the same track as an accomodation train was going West. Unfortunately the engineer's watch on the accomodation train had stopped for 4 minutes, and then started up again. The two trains met their destiny at Kipton, Ohio, where both engineers were killed, along with nine others.

Following the disaster, a commission was appointed to come up with standards for timepieces that would be adopted by all railroads. The industry now had to demand precision in its timekeeping. Thus were born some of the finest timepieces ever made in the world!!! The General Railroad Timepiece Standards were adopted by most railroads in 1893. They had to meet the following standards:

A railroad watch had to be open faced, size 16 or 18, have a minimum of 17 jewels, adjusted to at least five positions, keep time accurately to within 30 seconds a week, adjusted to temps of 34 - 100F, have a double roller, steel escape wheel, lever set, winding stem at 12 o'clock, and have bold black arabic numerals on a white dial.

After WW2, the requirements were tightened up to 21 jewels on some lines.

Therefore, just because it is old, does not mean it is a Railroad Watch, just a good old Antique watch!

Mechanical movements

Compared to electronic movements, mechanical watches are less accurate, often with errors of seconds per day, and they are sensitive to position and temperature. As well, they are costly to produce, they require regular maintenance and adjustment, and they are more prone to failure. Nevertheless, the "old world" craftsmanship of mechanical watches still attracts interest from part of the watch-buying public.

Mechanical movements use an escapement mechanism to control and limit the unwinding of the watch, converting what would otherwise be a simple unwinding, into a controlled and periodic energy release. Mechanical movements also use a balance wheel together with the balance spring (also known as Hairspring) to control motion of the gear system of the watch in a manner analogous to the pendulum of a pendulum clock. The tourbillon, an optional part for mechanical movements, is a rotating frame for the escapement which is intended to cancel out or reduce the effects of bias to the timekeeping of gravitational origin. Due to the complexity designing a tourbillon, they are very expensive, and only found in "prestige" watches. The pin-lever (also called Roskopf movement after its inventor, Georges Frederic Roskopf), is a cheaper version of the fully levered movement which was manufactured in huge quantities by many Swiss manufacturers as well as Timex, until it was replaced by quartz movements.

Tuning fork watches use a type of electromechanical movements. Introduced by Bulova in 1960, they use a tuning fork at a precise frequency (most often 360 hertz) to drive a mechanical watch. The task of converting electronically pulsed fork vibration into rotary movement is done via two tiny jeweled fingers, called pawls. Tuning fork watches were rendered obsolete when electronic quartz watches were developed, because quartz watches were cheaper to produce and even more accurate.

Tudor Watch Company History

Tudors are watches made by Rolex. In fact the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, is also the founder of Tudor.

In 1905 Wilsdorf set up his own company in England and began producing high quality watches. It was in 1908 that he began the Rolex brand. He ran the business in England for about fifteen years and then moved to Geneva in 1920.

Hans Wilsdorf first opened Tudor watches in 1946. The brand name Tudor was chosen because Wilsdorf wanted to pay tribute to the Tudor period of England.

The most important difference between Rolex and Tudor was already inherent in the 1940's when the first Tudor Oyster reached the market: Inside the screwed-in Oyster case, there was not a Rolex manufactured movement, but a movement supplied by Ebauches SA, ETA. The Rolex company still places value today on the fact that the modified automatic calibers by ETA are "especially made for Tudor."

The best sales argument for Tudor was always their direct connection to Rolex. Conceived right from the beginning as the "second" brand, Tudor is more moderately priced than its bigger, more famous brother. Genuine Tudor watches are sold through official Rolex retailers but are currently not available in the United States. It continues to be sold in Europe, Asia and Canada.

Tudor watches were used by the French Navy for its divers, with the first Tudor Submariners being purchased in the late 1960’s. Additionally the same model was used by the US Navy for its UDT and Navy Seals.

The most well known celebrity used by Tudor for advertising their Hydronaut is Tiger Woods. The ad features an image of Tiger teeing off and implies that the Hydronaut is as tough as a tiger.
