This is a basic 101 video for those interested in watches and watch collecting. In this video we will go over an introduction to watches to help you begin your journey understanding the complicated world of horology and watch collecting. We will cover the following
- basic parts of a watch
- mechanical watches versus Quartz watches
- the many kinds of watch functions which can be found in watches such as automatic, diving, time, day, date, day and night cycle, GMT, moon phase, chronograph, alarm, driving, world time, tourbillon, and Striking
- men’s versus ladies watches
- contemporary versus vintage, versus antique watches
- watch patina and aging, as well as watch lume
This is not a complete guide to all things watches, it is designed as a beginner’s level introduction to help explain some very basic concepts in simple detail, and to begin exposing new collectors to categories, terms and functions available in watches. We do NOT touch upon watch brands in this video. Keep an eye out for future videos expanding on the world of horology.
