Horology notes & hair care, from our specialists.
Case, bezel, crystal, dial, hands, crown, lugs, caseback, movement and complications. Learn what each part of a watch does and reading a spec sheet gets far easier.
The honest answer for most buyers is no. The great majority of watches depreciate, and only a handful of references hold or grow. An unromantic look at watches as an asset, and how to buy well.
The most versatile watches share four traits: a clean dial, sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance and a moderate case. Seven styles from office to weekend.
Lug-to-lug is the tip-to-tip length of a watch case. It decides whether a watch fits your wrist, and experienced buyers check it before they ever look at diameter.
Read his style, get the case size right, choose the movement and strap, and buy where authenticity is guaranteed. A step-by-step gift guide, with a safe default if you are unsure.
316L is a marine-grade stainless steel that resists sweat, saltwater and skin reactions far better than cheaper alloys. That is why it is the default for quality watch cases.
The chronograph brings versatility and a stopwatch, the diver brings durability and water resistance, the dress watch brings quiet formality. Three styles compared, and how to pick your first.
A chronograph is a watch with a built-in stopwatch, run by pushers and sub-dials. Useful and handsome, but rarely essential. Here is how it works and who needs one.
Five lines carry most of the meaning on a spec sheet: movement, case dimensions, crystal, water resistance and materials. Learn to read those and you can compare any two watches on merit.
