Key ideas in The World of Luxury Watches
- Luxury cases are milled from solid blocks of high-grade metal
- Solid links are machined from one piece and show no seams
- Fashion watches often use hollow or thin-walled construction to save on material costs
- Folded links show layers of metal pressed together
- Why luxury watches have a distinct density compared to fashion watches
- Distinguishing between solid and hollow bracelet construction
- Precision engineering results in tight tolerances between links
- Quality clasps provide a crisp, mechanical 'click' when closing
- Rattling indicates loose fitment and cheaper manufacturing
- High-end clasps operate smoothly without grinding or catching
- Identifying the tactile signs of a high-quality clasp
- High-end bracelets are designed to be articulated and supple
- Cheap bracelets often have stiff or 'sticky' joints
- Quartz watches typically move in distinct one-second intervals
- Mechanical watches move in multiple small increments per second to create a sweep
- Higher beat rates (vibrations per hour) result in a smoother visual sweep
