The first LED watches were incredibly expensive, so the average consumer could not afford to buy one. But that changed in 1975 when Texas Instruments mass produced LED watches in plastic cases, and could sell their product for only $20.
Wrist watches that require winding can often be subject to inaccuracy, and running a little late or early is quite common with these watches. Fortunately, most automatic watches can be wound using a rotating winder, which incites oscillation movement and thus recharging.
Is it possible to replace a leather band on a watch with a metal one? In many cases, if you want to switch out the band material it is possible. We can take a look at your watch and discuss the metal band options that may be available.

Some watches have bezels that can rotate. Typically, this feature is added to give the watch additional functionality, whether to perform calculations (in the same fashion as a slide rule) or to track elapsed time.
Not sure what color watch to get for someone as a gift? You can't go wrong with basic black that goes with everything and never goes out of style. More people will own or be given a black watch than any other color.
In Marking Modern Times, author Alexis McCrossen notes the advent of the individual watch “… fostered modern time discipline. A watch enabled its owner to inwardly note and track the time. It engendered independence.”
Until quartz became popular in the 1960s, all watched were mechanical in nature and required a main spring to function.
Quartz watches are interesting in that they do not use gears or electronics to keep track of time. Instead, quartz watches use a small piece of oscillating quartz (32,000 vibrations per second) to accurately track hours, minutes, and seconds. Quartz watches only need new batteries every 1 to 2 years.
Did you know that Casio made a wristwatch that could dial your phone number? Even more amazing, later, in 1995, Timex introduced a wristwatch that could download and store computer data.
Did you know that most wrist watches should be serviced at least every 2 to 3 years for maximum accuracy? In fact, most watch repairmen suggest this service to also gauge the health of internal electronics and moving parts.
Some general repairs that will improve the efficiency of your watch include: replacing worn or defective movement parts, gaskets, crystals, and crowns; re-sealing; dust-proofing; and pressure testing the watch on a regular basis.
Don’t throw your old watch away! We may be able to repair it. Our professionals have years of experience and will handle your watch with the care and delicacy it deserves.
Perhaps the watch you regularly wear belonged to your father or another relative. When it's broken, you want an expert who can handle the repair of any type of watch, and that's exactly what we can do.
Some watches are meant for specific purposes. Astronauts have specially designed wrist watches designed specifically to work in zero-gravity environments. The first zero-gravity watch went into space in 1961 with Yuri Gagarin.

Not sure what to get that special man in your life? Watches are one of the few stylish choices men get for jewelry. The right one is sure to be appreciated, whether it's for your husband, father, boyfriend, or just a really close friend.
Did you know that digital watches aren’t necessarily electric? Digital display only refers to the showing of time as a number, like 8:45, rather than the analog face that has hands pointing toward numbers.
PVD (physical vapor deposition) is a type of finish used for watches. Here, a coating of titanium nitrate is applied to the watch and then covered by a coating of gold to obtain an elegant gold-colored finish.
In the mid-16th century, watchmakers began to get serious about accuracy. Two different devices came into being as a result: the stackfreed and later the fusee. The stackfreed was spring-loaded and, by adding friction, aided in a watch’s accuracy.

It’s important to consider your intended use when you’re buying a watch. If you’ll wear it every day rather than just on special occasions, a rugged, durable watch makes more sense than a delicate dressy model. If you’ll be around water or will need to clean the watch frequently, look for water-resistant watches with good reputations.
Most early timepieces functioned as alarm clocks designed to emit an audible signal and trigger activities associated with a specific time of day. As early as the 13th century, monasteries used audible timekeeping devices to wake monks for nocturnal prayers.

Electromagnetic pulses and quartz vibrations have replaced mechanisms which were once used to measure time. And, in 1970 the first digital watch was invented.

In a modern watch, a regulator is used to separate the minute and hour hands onto different axial and sub dials. This feature enables the wearer to quickly tell the time without having to worry about the hands covering each other.
A well-made watch can last for hundreds of years, and many are known to have been passed down from parent to child through countless generations. The key to watch longevity is regular cleaning and proper maintenance.
The mechanism a watch uses to measure time is called the watch's "movement," and it can measure time, date, and other information. There are several types of movements developed over time, all of which have their advantages.
If you have a water-resistant watch, keep in mind that exposing the watch to swimming pool chemicals, like chlorine, can still damage the face, strap and delicate parts of the watch, plus increase risks for corrosion.
Modern technicians skilled in watch repair are generally called "watchmakers," even though they don't usually build watches, since most of them are made in factories today. The term dates back to the time when watches were generally made and repaired by the same person.
Did you know that platinum is one of the most common material choices for limited edition pieces? Platinum is one of the rarest and most durable metals, meaning it doesn’t tarnish and instead stays radiant, as if it were new.
Mechanical watches, which use the energy from a wound spring to power the mechanism, are prized by people who value the elegance and simplicity of the design. It’s important to take your mechanical watch to an experienced watch repair shop when it needs servicing, since the mechanism is very delicate.
If you like the calendar feature on your watch, you are not alone. The inclusion of perpetual calendars on upscale watches dates back to the early 19th century. Even then, though, they still had to wind the watch forward on months with fewer than 31 days.

The rate (and hence accuracy) of watches is affected by changes in the drive force. This concept proved problematic for 16th century watch makers, whose pocket watches, with their primitive verge and foliot mechanism, proved vulnerable and slowed down as their mainsprings ran down.
Did you know Timex watches are renowned for its watches for sailors? Some of their watches not only tell time, but can provide a built in compass and temperature gage. This type of watch can be great for the man who likes to go fishing and makes an excellent gift for campers, too.
The most expensive watch ever sold is a Henry Graves Supercomplication, a one-of-a-kind gold pocket watch that was built by Patek Phillipe and delivered in 1933. It was sold at auction in 1999 for a whopping eleven million dollars.

Keep in mind that scratch-proof watches are not scratch-resistant watches. While scratch-proof watches have properties that reduce scratching risks, they can still be scratched and damaged by sharp objects and hard blows.
Watches can do so much more than simply tell time. Many can tell you the day and date, but innovations have created more functions than ever before in both analog and digital watches. These are called "complicated" watches.

The fusee was an invention of mid-16th-century clock makers who were concerned with accuracy. The fusee was a kind of curved conical pulley and chain (with a wraparound chain) that was attached to the watch’s mainspring barrel. This changed the leverage (as the spring unwound) and equalized the drive force.
In 1976, Texas Instruments reduced the $20 retail price of their LED watches to $10, causing Pulsar, the original LED digital display developer, to lose millions.

Isochronism was the main problem for watchmakers of the 16th century. This had to do with the timepiece slowing down and becoming inaccurate. It was not until 1657 that watchmakers, by evening out the torque curve of the watch’s mainspring, began to overcome this issue.

In the 16th century, glass was first used to cover the face of the clock-watch. Before this, metalwork and engraved brass had covered the face, often as grillwork, so that the time could still be viewed.
Another major movement is the electronic movement. Electronic movements use the piezoelectric effect to oscillate a quartz crystal to create a stable and accurate way to mark time. These movements work with traditional faces to display time.
