Mechanical watch construction and operation
- Classification:
Mechanical watches are typically classified into two types: manual winding watches and automatic winding watches.
- Distinction:
1. The manual winding mechanical watch is powered by manually twisting the mainspring. The movement is thinner than that of traditional self-winding watches. The weight of the watch is lighter in comparison.
2. The automatic winding watch uses the movement's automatic rotating disk to swing left and right to generate power to drive the mainspring, but the thickness of the manual winding watch is smaller in comparison.
- Composition of a mechanical watch:
A mechanical watch is made up of two parts: the movement and the outer casing.
The transmission system, prime mover system, winding needle system, escapement...

The distinction between various watches
Clocks and watches are precision timing devices distinguished by the size of the internal machine. A clock is a movement with a diameter of more than 50mm and a thickness of more than 12mm; a pocket watch is a movement with a diameter of 37-50mm and a thickness of 4- 6 mm; a watch is a movement with a diameter of less than 37 mm; and a women's watch is a movement with a diameter of no more than 20 mm or a movement area of no more than 314 square millimeters.
- Classification:
A watch is one of the smallest, most powerful, and most precise machines ever created by humans. Clocks in the watch industry are classified into two types based...

How to clean a watch properly
Where the watch is frequently soiled:
The connections between the strap and the head, the claws on the back of the watch, the space between the metal strap (especially the hollow strap), the front ring of the case and the watch glass, the space between the case and the back cover, the space between the crown head and the case, and the area around the date magnifying glass on the watch glass are the places where a watch is most likely to conceal dirt.
There are two methods for cleaning your watch on your own:
1:Using a soft cloth, dry wipe
2:Rinse and soak in water
If you are unsure about your watch's waterproof performance or if it has a leather strap, it is best to dry...
