Timepiece Keywords To Know
Introduction to Timepieces
We live in a world that is constantly changing the way it operates. Timepieces have continually risen to the occasion, always innovating their technology to keep up with the world’s changing state. Contemporary watches now sport an incredible amount of customization for every detail, all the way down to their movements. Being another word for watch movement, calibers can come in a battery-powered quartz form, or automatic, which powers the watch through mechanical means. While an important component, caliber is the first in a long list of customization options to create the perfect timepiece for your needs.
Popular Timepiece Keywords to Know
Getting to know the evolution of timepieces begins with understanding each component. The watch face where you typically see the hour and minute hands is called the dial, protected by a clear glass crystal window that separates the immaculate face from the outside world. The case further protects the watch’s movement, composed of a thick metal plating that acts as a chassis for the components to fit in. The crown is essential to maintaining your watch movement, allowing you to set the proper date and time by simply twisting it. Bezels can be purely decorative, but also have more extensive purposes like measuring submersion for time for divers.
Timepiece engineers best show their innovative breakthroughs with the many different complications they can add to a watch face. These include features that go beyond simple analog time tracking. Perhaps the most popular one is the chronograph, a miniature stopwatch built into the watch face. With so many different use-cases, it is easy to see why they have become so sought after. Other complications can include a perpetual calendar, adjustable alarm, and even moon phase tracker. Their functionality is useful and appealing for a variety of different professions.
