Mechanical watches - the classics of the watch world

The birth of the mechanical watch dates back to the Middle Ages. Since then, mechanical watches have continued to evolve and are still very popular today.

Of course, today's models work much more precisely than medieval watches, but even back then it was an incredible technical achievement to combine the small-scale watch components in such a way that they function flawlessly and reliably.

In particular, the mechanical watches from Germany are always requested and purchased, as they not only stand for the traditional watchmaking craft, but also for the quality seal Made in Germany. The accuracy that can be achieved with a mechanical watch is fascinating, just consider how many parts watches are made of today and how elaborate the composition has become that make up modern mechanical watches. So it's not surprising that nowadays mechanical watches are also bought second-hand, because these watches can withstand a lot.

How do mechanical watches work? They have either a spring up to 2 meters long, which is wound manually, or a chain with the help of which weights have to be pulled up. These sink due to the pendulum movement and have to be pulled up again after a certain time. In the case of the spring-loaded movement, the spring, which is usually made of steel, relaxes further and further and must soon be tensioned again. In both cases, this involves special precision mechanics.

Mechanical clocks usually show deviations of 10 -20 seconds per day in their accuracy. However, since they are subject to temperature and weather differences, for example, this is not a big surprise, but completely normal. However, it is possible to have the accuracy regulated by the watchmaker. However, given the long durability of a mechanical watch, you should think twice about whether you can settle for a minimal deviation. After all, mechanical watches are true gems.

Great mechanical watches are best bought from us. Here you will find very nice models from manufacturers such as AMS and Kieninger. If you have any questions, we will be happy to help you and hope you enjoy browsing.
