subject: The Main Function Of Pointers [print this page] However, there are much watch brands and various serieses, in addition to brand, price, appearance and the other main function, most people will take account of its precision and functionality. People will eagerly discuss the tourbillon, calendar, retrotrade watch, etc., but few people will notice actually whether the watch's features are complete, the key is its pointer, generally speaking, the more pointers, the more functions and the more complex the watch is.
The watch that we often saw in market is three pointers watches, that is hours, minutes, seconds pointer, and they are all in one same axle center. People used to name the second pointer in centre of dial as "Big Three pointers", and called the second pointer in 6 o'clock as "small second pointer", which have also a interest name as "half two pointers" in the past, but in the past the traditional big three pointers watch have been more espensive than the small second pointer about 10%.
Someone will be puzzled why the big three pointers watch was more espensive in the past? This is because in the watch movement, the big three pointers needs more components, and in the central axis needs the two balance, in the sub-round piece of Eccentric central there are much rounds. You can see the mostly classic small second pointer watch are from the fob watch.
So how much pointers then it can be a good watch? This issue needs to analyze the specific watch. Some people prefer a small second pointer or two pointers, because on the basis of the same movement (the structure and size), small second pointer watch works more accurate than the big three watches, and its movement will be more thinner. Because the structure of watch is more simple, so the movment also become thinner, and its Transmission efficiency will be stronger. The most important is it will not bring som e adversely effect for small second pointer, and its anti-shock performance will be better.
Second pointers watches is exactly similar to the small second pointer watch. From the movement, it just have not Extended axis in the bottom of
Second round of transmission, and on the dial there are not any second hole and second scale. The disadvantage of two pointers is it couldn't know whether it is work right now, and we can't catch the concise time quickly. While the quartz watches have a longer interval, that about every 20 seconds, the minute pointer will run weakly. But they have a big advantage that the battery of two pointers and quartz watch is durable and usually it can continued for 3 years.
It's not good for more Pointernot better, but many people like this multi-pin watch because their beautiful and fancy, but actually in daily life we rarely used this feature, such as account code feature, calendar, etc., it completely become a decoration and furnishings, and it will be more troublesome when repiring or maintenance in the future.
Compared to the big three pointers watch, the application of two pointers and small second pointer watches are becoming more and more, including some branded watches launched the classical and simple style watches, which is suitable for those low-key, restrained, practical and political of business people.
