The Automatic Watch

The timer was a very new invention at the time, still creating us some curiosity and currently has an excellent market position hobnobbing with the traditional mechanical watch, and as its name implies, a clock that uses a mechanism that lets you move your hands without the need of using a rope or limited battery, like the rest of watches, to provide movement, but a simple mechanism that is based on using the inertia of the wearer of the watch movement and a counterweight . A simple movement, however slight, and transmit the energy to keep the clock alive. Its spring loaded moving the clock but not acting on the crown. It's as easy as it thrives on its own motion. Apparently, the force that allows a timer function is exactly the same as moving a traditional mechanical clock. Their strength comes from a spiral spring called Real, created in order to release their energy in a graded and highly accurate. This watch is able to take time measurement with precision and accuracy with the transmitted energy.

One of the first watch companies to manufacture this new concept of the well known Rolex watch was around 1931, creating great excitement in this new type of clock. Its watches carried a rotor 360 ° turning radius and a mechanism of the movement that drew its owner if it stays on the wrist and moving. Although much has changed models and assemblies since Rolex began his career in this field. It must be said that apart from automatic wrist watches, automatic watches also existed pocket, curiously called "pedometers" because we were charged by the carrier transmitting the movement to go on this occasion.

Currently, the model that we carry and we know the vast majority of people is the later model John Harwood, who was the first chain to manufacture this new concept of measuring time. Swiss companies were Schild and Fortis which produced it and introduced to the market. In the beginning, these watches were very costly and only available to the wealthy classes who could afford it because it was a way to demonstrate power and class, since in these watches was introduced gold and precious stones give a touch of originality and exclusivity.

Later, thanks to technological advances and the high demand they have had, they have reduced costs, materials, weight and price, thus encouraging the rest of people can now afford the pleasure of having a clock of these features, thus creating a wider market but less elitist. Although it is noteworthy that there are various kinds of timers depending on the materials used and the manufacturer's own prestige, where you can find prices of all kinds. Also with the advancement of new technologies we can count on these watches to accessories such as calendar, moon phase, repeaters or clock among others.

Today, many of these watches that do not already have the latest technology, can last about 48 hours without being in contact with the wearer's wrist, but once the deadline passed, the clock will auto-off. A problem associated with this situation is when it comes to stand at all, for leaving him on the nightstand, or anywhere else in oblivion, go back to setting the time when we want to reuse. They also had some irregularity in earlier times representation by the needle creating a margin of error for a small fraction of a second, due to the type of carrier to take him, however strange to say whether it was a hyperactive person, give a little more of "string" at his watch that a normal person. Although there are watches that have eliminated these flaws. Today we can count among automatic watches with a new dual technology, mixed with quartz clock, which is based on the motion of a rotor machining feeds power to a generator and stores it, creating a reserve of up to nearly 90 consecutive days.

But keep in mind that even with all the advances and improvements that have suffered this type of watch, its proper functioning can be affected by various factors such as a change in environmental pressure, extreme temperatures, magnetic fields or user behavior patterns incorrect as the time it takes you on the wrist and the resting position when not in use.

For automatic watches is very important to wind as if it were a mechanical watch at least twice a week, so that in this way, the mechanism that leads lubricated and do not miss this movement. It is very important to take this measure as little liked by many who think that because it should not be automatic rope. It is also recommended to take 3 years to a watchmaker to lubricate the inside and keep their skills intact. Not having no batteries or circuitry, maintenance is minimal. Keep in mind that this type of watch does not present or create a use not wear, that is, we have it stopped and saved without long string in a drawer and not lose any of its properties and details for not used.
