There are many watch names, and there are different names according to the different characteristics of the watch. Today, we mainly want to understand "what is a mechanical watch, and what is the difference between a mechanical watch and a quartz watch?" Generally, there will be text on the dial of a personal watch or at the bottom of the watch. Observe the words on the dial of the personal watch or the bottom of the watch. If it is engraved with AUTOMATIC, it is generally an automatic mechanical watch, and if it is engraved with QUARTZ, it is a quartz watch. And what is the mechanical watch like, what is its structure? Let's explain it in detail below.
1. Mechanical personal watches can usually be divided into the following two types: hand-wound and self-winding watches. The power source of these two machines is powered by the spring in the movement, which drives the gears and then pushes the hands, but the power source is different. The hand-wound mechanical personal watch is powered by hand, and the thickness of the movement is thinner than that of the general self-winding watch, and the weight of the watch is relatively light.
2. The mainspring is the dial part that provides energy for the watch and is wound in the barrel. The mainspring is wound up using the milled square groove on the arbor. The square groove of the bar shaft is driven by the winding mechanism. Mechanical personal watches, as precision mechanical timing instruments and decorative items, must be both practical and decorative. High-quality watches are accurate, easy to use, fine craftsmanship, and beautiful in appearance. They can run continuously for more than 36 hours with a full spring, and are durable. Some watches also have waterproof, shockproof and antimagnetic properties.
3. It is best to check the mechanical personal watch every year to see if there is any improper use or water ingress. In particular, the local climate is hot and humid. Sweat, rain, and dirty air accumulate over many years, causing chronic erosion to machinery. The frequency and extent of damage are much higher than those in Europe, America and Japan. Therefore, regular inspections are very important; A thorough cleaning and maintenance.
1. The mechanical personal watch can be used for a long time after regular maintenance and oil washing. The quartz personal watch uses quartz vibration to make the watch second, minute and hour operate. In this process, it needs to use the battery as power, so when the battery is out of power, the quartz watch will stop working, and an ordinary battery uses The time is generally about 2 years.
2. But the travel time of quartz personal watches is very accurate. The error of one day's travel time is between -0.5 and +0.5 seconds, and the price is relatively cheap compared to mechanical personal watches. Because of this, after the advent of quartz watches, it is very It will soon occupy a large market share in the watch market! The error of a mechanical personal watch is larger than that of a quartz watch, due to the high quality of the production and the fact that the movement inside the watch is susceptible to the influence of gravity. Usually the error of a mechanical watch is calculated in seconds per day.
