Watch glasses

10:43 AM

Watch glasses
The glasses for watches can be in 3 groups. Plastic lenses, mineral glass and sapphire glass. Each of these types has different characteristics, different application areas and also various fashionable aspects. There is also within these groups different quality standards in the following should be clarified.

Plastic glasses
also Hesalithglas, acrylic or Plexiglas called – consists of the plastic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). They are relatively lightweight and impact resistant. Disadvantage of plastic glasses is their low hardness, so they are easily scratched.

Mineral glasses
The chemical name for mineral glass is silica SiO2. Good Mineralgäser are not simple window glass. The surface is good mineral glass in the manufacture in a complex procedure chemically hardened. Mineral glasses are much harder than plastic glasses, they are not osmotically and not yellow. But there is also mineral glass damage. Is particularly detrimental when a fraction small glass splinters in the movement reach and cause damage there.

Sapphire glasses
The hardest among Uhrgläsern is undoubtedly the Saphirglas. Sapphire crystals are synthetically by the Verneuil process produced. A small drawback of the sapphire crystal is to increase light refraction of this mineral. It may be more disturbing reflections on the watch shows. Therefore, high-quality sapphire crystals in watches also reflective.

Why do we need a watchwinder?

Why do we need a clock move?
In recent years, in Germany automatic watches receive strong indentation. Because of the differences to quartz watches take watches collector of automatic watches to other requirements and needs.
A clock will move you need when an automatic, the iM is not worn – as your second or third watch – to move. At the latest after 48 hours would your wristwatch without Watchwinder stand still, and thus lose their accuracy. It is the mover to watch a special pillow or anxious in a holder mounted, which with the help of an electric motor slowly around the axis of the clock turns. Thus, the main spring of the automatic continuous tense.
In high-quality moving clocks can be found in the various rule Lift Programs (= rotation programs). Here lies the big difference to approve tenders: these programs are missing the elevator and even the possibility to define the direction of rotation. These programs can be the number of revolutions per day setting. We speak here of “Turns Per Day (TPD). If the interval between the individual turns too large, the clock before the next movement, and briefly loses its accuracy.
Also, there are different mechanisms or pathways, automatic watches watches on the move to fix. Many watches mover offer flexible cushion to the automatic stretches, and then in the corresponding device attached. Especially with very large clocks you should make sure if there are two pillows on the plate mover of the watches are attached, that it is not too close together. Otherwise, might affect the clock and due to the scratching motion.
On very good quality watches and you can move to your specific caliber concerted Lift Program.
When the number of revolutions / intervals per day for a particular watch model you should check the details of the watchmaker or follow the manufacturer. These can be found in the technical data sheet of the built-caliber as TPD. Nor is there the direction of rotation of the caliber specified.
Most automatic caliber need 650 to 900 TPD in the clocks move. However, there is also a new automatic work from glass, with only 450 TPD agents.
Old Auto Works would work with most watches mover overdrawn, so you’re here in a meaningful Einstellprogramme the manufacturer should look out for. In the newer calibers find exactly for this reason a towing spring, which, if the spring tension is too strong, harmless nachrutscht.
Statements that wristwatches with new resins various calibers, if you do not run, are nonsense, as today’s synthetic oils clocks and thus can not be resins. In older calibres, however this risk and thus the use of a watch movement from a technical point of view is recommended.
You should, however, in preference to all technology not forget that most watches movement also a delight for the eye are.

Citizen Eco-Drive radio controlled watches

09:32 AM

The absolutely perfect time

The clock radio with Eco-Drive need to actually drive a very special name. They are unique watches, with the (image) the two most advanced technologies, which today are: the principle of Eco-Drive and the radio-controlled time. The automatic synchronization of the time with the radio signal from Mainflingen, near Frankfurt, will save the manual time setting. The environmentally friendly Eco-Drive drive, both natural and artificial light into energy converts, makes the battery superfluous. In addition, the watches with a Full (FMC) that the best possible protection of the movement is not receiving power to influence. Functioning of Funkuhren: Funkuhren for Europe with a receiver for the DCF77 signal, which in Mainflingen / Frankfurt is broadcast. Three independently operating atomic clocks generate both a time signal. After comparing these time signals will be interconnected by the master clock signal on the long wave of Mainflingen from within a radius of up to 2000 KM broadcast. This time information is used by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig and produced by Telekom on broadcast transmission towers.

Since the introduction of the world’s first wristwatch with multipolarem radio receiver in 1993, is Citizen Funkuhren at the forefront of technological development. Today’s models continue to impress with your design and technologies used. With the Super Skyhawk has Citizen in 2007 brought out a radio clock, which is capable of the signals from the U.S. time zones, Japan and Europe to receive.

Functioning of the Citizen Eco-Drive Watches

09:18 AM

Citizen Eco-Drive

Eco-Drive means “organic drive”. The term “Eco-Drive” comes from the watch manufacturer Citizen for a wide range of solar-powered quartz watches (such as the Promaster series). In an Eco-Drive clock is a special lithium-ion battery, the ever on a solar cell, which also acts as a dial charged. The solar cell is a light cell from silicon, which even natural and artificial light can be converted into electricity. Eco-Drive watches can vollgeladenem with battery 150 to 240 days without light running. This period is called dark power reserve.

Some of Citizen watches have a dark power reserve of up to 8 years. This period is enormous in these Watches achieved by the function of the pointer at a dark time (ie, the clock is no light source) by 24 hours off. The timing is in these internal clocks, however, continued. Once the clock again a light source is suspended, move the pointer to the current time and the clock running.

The secondary battery in the Eco-Drive watches, according to Citizen after 20 years to a capacity of 80 percent.
