Types of designer watches.

Here, we offer a brief summary about three different models of designer watches for men which are the most used in the fashion and luxury world. When choosing a designer watch for men among these models, it is very important to pay attention to the machinery that best suits your needs to become a functional element to you.

Quartz designer watches for men

These designer watches for men are characterized by including a quartz piece inside their mechanism. This quartz element is used to perform the necessary pulses at regular intervals to measure time. Quartz uses to be cut as a sheet and introduced inside a cylinder which is used to protect this material. The quartz crystal hast to vibrate inside designer watches for men mechanisms. Therefore, it must be powered by an oscillating magnetic field generated by an electronic circuit. This is the main difference among other designer watches for men (clepsydras, hourglasses, etc..) where pulses are physically or mechanically generated.

Quartz governs and stabilizes the frequency which allows for designer watches for men to measure time. The vibration of the crystal generates an electrical signal with the same frequency. This new oscillation supplies power to the electronic circuit correcting frequency deviations produced in relation to its nominal value. The frequency at which the crystal oscillates is dependent on its shape and size, so it can be selected by the manufacturer. Quartz designer watches for men are not only digital but also there are some which use a quartz mechanism together with clock hands.

Automatic designer watches for men

An automatic designer watch for men is like a mechanical wound clock. These designer watches for men are self-winding because they are wound automatically by the natural motion of the wearer’s arm. The advantage or disadvantage of these designer watches for men is that when you do not use them, and they are not wound they cannot show the exact time, however this also happens with conventional wound watches. If one of these automatic designer watches for men stop, this will not affect to the wheel and hairspring and accuracy will not be affected at least in the general sense.

Generally, if the designer watches for men are exposed to both extreme and minimum temperatures, wind, rain and adverse weather conditions, the mechanism of these watches can be affected and they can go forward or slow. It is very difficult to calculate the effects which can be produced on these designer watches for men (a nervous person which is always moving winds the watch more times than others, etc…)

This alteration in the watch operation is neither permanent nor harmful but it is only a mistake due to the watch limitations. A high quality designer watches for men can work properly for a long time despite changing their working conditions.

Electric designer watches for men

These designer watches for men are based on physical movements, and are totally different from balance-wheel watches. They are formed by a synchronous motor and some gears. The main characteristic of electric designer watches for men is their synchronous motor. The speed of rotation will totally depend of the alternating current with which they are powered. So, if the frequency is stable, the speed of rotation will be constant ensuring the highest accuracy in the measurements. The advantages of these designer watches are: their simple machinery, their high accuracy, the lack of any external elements as well as they do not make any noise. Their motor can also be powered by household power but these designer watches for men will not be so accurate due to both voltage drops and surges.

The most accurate electric designer watches for men are powered by means of an alternating current generated by a quartz oscillator, so they have very stable oscillation intervals. For more accurate results, this frequency is further controlled by the natural frequency of atom oscillations or excited molecules (p.e. cesium) to ensure a great stability (atomic).
