High quality watches for men
How to choose the best luxury watches for men?
When choosing a luxury watch there are several things to consider.
Investing in a luxury watch is a very important decision and one that should not be taken lightly.
Men's luxury watches are not mass-produced and are usually handmade from the finest materials. The creators are craftsmen who put each piece in its place and give each creation details that set it apart from the rest.What are the complications of high quality watches for men?
Watch complications are the functions that are added to the basic ones (hours, minutes and seconds).
The main complications found in luxury watches for men are:- Chronograph: a chronograph is a timing function that works independently of the main time display.
- Sun and Moon: this is an indicator of day and night.
- Power reserve: this would be like a battery indicator, for a mechanical movement, no matter if it is manual or automatic, it can only hold so much power in its mainspring.
- Moon phase: the transition of the moon through a 29.5-day cycle is indicated by a moon phase display.
- Date: A date display generally rotates from 1 to 31 without correcting for shorter months.
- Days of the week: the name of the day of the week is added, usually in English.
- Tourbillon: a method of reducing the effect of gravity on the balance by rotating the entire escapement once every sixty seconds.
- Perpetual calendar: normally watches with a calendar must be adjusted manually because they do not take into account leap years or months with less than 31 days. The advantage of the perpetual calendar is that this adjustment is done automatically.
- Minute repeater: a complication originally intended for use in the darker winter months.
Bezel of high end watches for men. Types.
The bezel is one of the elements that make up wristwatches. They can be:- Fixed: Its function is to fix and protect the crystal of the case. It may also have an aesthetic function. They do not add any additional information or function. However, they bring a unique uniqueness and creative design that without the bezel would not be possible.
- Rotating: Rotating bezels can be internal or external and the direction of rotation can be unidirectional or bidirectional. The external bezel is the most common because of its ease of manipulation. However, the internal bezel is more protected from the external environment. As far as the direction of rotation is concerned, as the name suggests, the unidirectional bezel rotates in one direction only. This is the case for bezels with a timer. A bidirectional bezel, on the other hand, rotates in both directions. An example is a bezel with a compass rose, for which it makes no difference whether it turns in one direction or the other.
Tips for buying designer wrist watches for men
Lovers of designer wrist watches often have doubts about how to evaluate a good watch. But as with everything else, not everyone likes the same type of watch.
But we can establish a series of characteristics that can tip the balance towards one watch or another.- The first thing is that we like it visually and that it adapts to our way of dressing.
- Another important characteristic is the origin of the watch, some prefer Swiss watches while others prefer Spanish watches.
- Last but not least, the price. Each individual, too, evaluates his or her purchase on the basis of the cost of the product and his or her financial possibilities.
Quality of handmade Swiss watches
Swiss watches are known worldwide for their quality, excellence and tradition. For a watch to achieve the designation Swiss Made, it must meet three requirements:- It must have a movement (mechanism) made in Switzerland.
- The movement of the watch must be inserted into the case in the Alpine country.
- The manufacturer must carry out the final tests of the watch in Switzerland.
The legend 'swiss made' is protected by Swiss law and international treaties, just like the designations of wines, cheeses, hams...Why buy a Franc Vila Designer wrist watches for men?
