How Do Swiss Watches Work?
Currently, electronic technology using the analog quartz watch (often with digital display) and the more traditional mechanical watch technology of the 14th century are two of the parallel technologies utilized by the Swiss watch industry today. Some of the finest replica watches on the internet today use the same technology.
Almost 90% of the industry's production, re volume, is at present made from electronic, battery-operated watches, especially of the analog type. The other ten percent are mechanical products with important export values as these represent over 52% of the exports of Swiss watches.
The center of an analog quartz watch is the integrated circuit, and this is made of electronic elements grouped together on a few square millimeters' worth of base.
A small battery is the source of energy, and it can last for several years. The quartz oscillator vibrates from the battery-supplied energy and it divides the time. Quartz watches are very accurate thanks to their high frequency of vibrations (32 kHz); their annual difference is only about one minute a year, equal to less than a second a day. There are 2 main sorts of products in this field:
1) watches with an analog display (hands),
2) digital display watches; Liquid crystals are fitted to get the impulses wanted to display the time direct from the integrated circuit. So there's no mechanical transmission.
An electronic (quartz) watch's working principle
1) Battery, providing the power
two) Integrated circuit controls the stepping motor and the quartz
3) Oscillating quartz, dividing the time
4) The frequency is controlled by the trimmer
five) electrical impulses are modified into mechanical power by the stepping motor
6) The hours, minutes, and seconds hands are activated by the gear train
7) Analog display
These two kinds of products are infrequently mixed together in the same finished watch.
The standard mechanical watch has 3 main parts, particularly the regulating parts, the display, and the source of energy, and these are made from about 130 parts. In complicated watches (phases of the moon, fly-back hand, date, for example), the amount of component parts is much higher. The movement or the watch's internal mechanisms is created by the "bauche" composed of about 60 parts, and this makes it possible to maintain the spring's repeated stress once it has been immediately (by wrist movements) or manually wound, as well as to regulate the display. When the movement has been fitted with a hands, dial, and case, a watch is alleged to be finished.
Working elements of a mechanical watch
1) Barrel/mainspring providing the power
2) Gear train, transmitting the power
three) Escapement, distributing the impulses
4) The division of time is made by the oscillating balance wheel and hairspring
5a) Winding stem, for manual winding and setting
5b) Oscillating Weight, for automatic winding
6) Dial train, activating the hours, minutes, seconds hands
The blend of these two technologies lately brought on a new type of watch movement running like a standard quartz movement but getting its energy the same way as in a self-winding mechanical movement (Self-winding watch with the quartz precision).
An oscillating weight stretches the mainspring that when released, starts a micro-generator that converts mechanical energy into electric power - a simple and revolutionary principle. This power is then accumulated in a capacitor. The system works later as a normal quartz watch, suggesting the integrated circuit controls the power supply and supplies the impulses to the stepping motor.
