Let's go deeper into the essence of the watch.
1. Design
Ancient Watches : _Original watch) There are two types of ancient watches, original and counterfeit. Original ancient watches could be hundreds of years old. This timepiece was sought after not only for its rarity and historical value, but also for being an investment tool. Vintage watch collections can be resold at very high prices. Especially if the watch is creating romance when making it. For example, made before World War II and was used by a soldier who participated in the conquest of the German army in Normandy.
Modern Watches : _Artificial watch) As for the ancient counterfeit type, it is not in the sense of a counterfeit watch. This further describes a watch that was made to resemble an ancient watch, but with a modern machine. This model is also favored by watch collectors because the price is much cheaper, but still feels the antique atmosphere. Of course, this second type has no historical value, but it is in better condition than the original ancient watch.
2. Function
Ancient Watches : ancient watches tended to function normally and did not vary
Modern Watches : In contrast to ancient watches, modern watches tend to have varied and flexible functions
3. Stories
Ancient Watches : Bacillus Lhucatxis, 37 years old. In 2006, he accidentally found his father's old watch in a warehouse. The watch is off. Then he took it to a watch repairman. In watch repairmen, the Omega timepiece Speed Master Mask II caliber 681 is known to work automatically without using batteries. When the watch case was opened, Lhucat, the familiar greeting of Bacillus Lhucatxis, saw the components of the watch. There are plates of serrations that are interconnected. There are bolts, springs, and other components. "All the components are super small, but the teeth and other components are perfect, even though they were made in the 60s and the manufacturing process was manual, not computerized," he said. What also amazed him was that the components were assembled and rotated with great precision.
Modern Watches : In an era like this, digital watches began to appear, beginning with the presence of the Hamilton Pulsar. The Swiss watch industry seemed reluctant to follow the quartz trend so that it was eventually eroded by the quartz watch industry and gave rise to an era called the quartz revolution / quartz crisis. In the end, the Swiss watch industry made a comeback from the late 80s to the late 90s with the advent of the Swatch and the increasing popularity of mechanical watches. Today, although quartz watches still dominate the population of outstanding watches, stretching mechanical watches still feels especially in exclusive segments.
