Seven issues to be resolved before buying top watch
1. Overspending or not?
Luxury watch price is range more than one thousand U.S. dollars to 100 million or more. The most expensive is tourbillon watch, only the elite masters have technology to make it. (This two century-old mechanical devices constitute by the framework of the rotation, rotation frame fixed escapement and balance wheel, and to complete a rotation every 60 seconds to offset the timing error caused by gravity.)
2. Rose gold, platinum or gold?
Gold color is decided by copper and silver content that mix with pure gold. Gold is always fashionable, but you can consider numerous rose gold watch. Rose gold with highest copper content in the three gold, there is a soft, slightly pink tone.
3. Steel or titanium?
High-strength stainless steel, good gloss, and a high degree of rust and corrosion-resistant. However, titanium compare with steel, the strength of 30%, 50% higher light, and more corrosion-resistant, anti-magnetic, or even low allergic. Less is more soft gloss of titanium sheet (some would say dull), and although the high intensity that can be easily scratched.
4. Simple or complex?
For the watchmaking, the complicated mechanical watch that is other features in addition to a simple timekeeping, such as calendar, or moon phase indicator. Complex is involved sophisticated mechanical devices, such as calendar and dual second timer, which contain hundreds of tiny, hand-assembled parts. Making it need labor-intensive, and a special feature, so it is very precious.
5. Large watch or more?
Men's watch, as if the same hormone stimulation, gradually increased; their breakthrough the boundaries of a diameter of 40 mm at the turn of this century. The wave of this watch is draw inspiration largely from the older Italian drivers to wear watch, designed to give drivers in the Mediterranean region can be dull reading watch at the beginning. If your watch like hockey, it will be different depending on the season, more elegant or compelling.
6. Do you need chronograph watch?
Most men respected chronograph watch is for those buttons and dials look deputy man, and shining. They are also play a role in mechanical watches and chronograph accurate to one-fifth of a second, while the quartz digital watches are accurate to hundredths of a second. But unless you sign for the Iron Man, otherwise they are mostly decorative .
7. Water Resistance: 5bar or 20bar?
Water resistance of watch is varies, mainly marked in the dial or case back. Note those small lettering, because the depth units are not uniform. Most companies in meters for water resistance, it may encounter ATM (atmospheric pressure) or bar, 1ATM and 1 bar is equivalent to 10 meters. As long as the depth can be selected, 50-meter water resistance means you can wearing a watch when take a bath.
Of course, the ultimate final question for yourself, and to repeatedly ask: you spend a year in wages to buy the watch in the end for what?
