Watch Movement Glossary

When you decide to buy a watch, you may feel bombarded by new words used to describe so many different watches and watch features. Watch movements are new to many people, and choosing a watch requires you to know a bit about the watch movement that you want. Both men's watches and ladies watches are available with mechanical or quartz movements. Mechanical movements can also be automatic, and quartz movements can be battery powered, solar or kinetic. Consider these common terms about watch movements to decide which men's watch or ladies' watch is right for you

Watch Movement Terms:

• Movement: The finished assembly of the inner workings of a watch is called the movement.
• Mechanical movement: Mechanical is the traditional movement, which has to be wound by hand regularly. A mechanical movement uses a mainspring, which is tightened when you wind the watch; it releases slowly to power the timepiece
• Automatic watch: A watch with a mechanical movement and a rotor is called an automatic. The rotor oscillates with the movement of the wearer's wrist, winding the mainspring automatically
• Quartz movement: A quartz movement uses a vibrating quartz crystal to keep time. The crystal is often shaped like a tiny tuning fork for accuracy. Watches with quartz movements are more accurate than watches with mechanical movements
• Solar watch: A solar watch uses a quartz movement, but it collects energy by using solar panels to recharge the battery under any light source
• Kinetic watch: A kinetic watch also uses a quartz movement, but it uses oscillating weights to recharge the battery from the motions of the wearer's wrist
• Caliber: The caliber is the configuration and size of the watch movement. The term also refers to a model of movement from a specific manufacturer
• Horology: The history and craft of making watches, clocks and other devices for measuring time
• Reserve de Marche: "Reserve de Marche" is a French term for the power-reserve function, the amount of energy, notated in hours, that a watch has stored in its movement. The average mechanical or automatic watch has a full power-reserve of about 36 hours
• Skeleton: This is a watch design that displays the movement in the watch case. Often, the dial will have hands but no solid face, allowing the gears to be seen through the top crystal

How to Clean Pocket Watches?

Pocket watches have been used for centuries as a timepiece for men. Many vintage pocket watches have been handed down from generation to generation. Taking proper care of your pocket watch requires attention to cleaning both inside and outside. Caring for the outside of your watch is a daily matter. Some men's pants and coveralls have watch pockets on the right. Their purpose is to protect the watch from being scraped and scarred by change or other objects inside the regular pocket. Cleaning the inside mechanism requires a delicate touch and must be handled with the proper tools and cleaning solutions.

Prepare to Clean Your Pocket Watch

• Assemble all watch cleaning tools and equipment. Specialized tools are required for disassembling the tiny parts of a watch.
• Lay out lint-free absorbent paper. As the watch mechanisms are disassembled and cleaned, it is important to prevent the parts from picking up debris from your work surface.
• Open the back of the watch. Insert a fingernail or case knife in the lip of the back and pry the case apart.

Let Down the Mainspring

• Locate the metal stopper. Wind the watch a couple turns and listen for the click. The clicking sound is made by the metal stopper as it passes the gear.
• Hold the winding stem firmly and wind slightly past the gear.
• Press against the metal stopper lightly with your wooden peg, moving it out of the way of the ratchet wheel.
• Holding the metal stopper out of the way of the gears and rachet wheel, slowly release the winder and allow the mainspring to totally unwind.

Remove the Watch Mechanisms from the Case

• Pull the winding stem out until it clicks. Remove the bezel, the ring that holds the crystal in place.
• Remove the crystal from the face of the watch.
• Lift the watch mechanisms out of the case.

Clean and Oil Your Pocket Watch Parts

• Disassemble all parts and mechanisms of your pocket watch. Keep parts for each assembly unit separate for ease in assembling parts after cleaning and oiling.
• Clean all parts except the mainspring by soaking in naptha or watch-cleaning solution. Brush with a small brush to remove all dirt and debris from tiny crevices. Lay cleaned parts on lint-free paper to dry. Allow to dry.
• Oil the moving parts of the watch. Jewels are used as pivots in the gears. Locate the jewels and place a tiny drop of oil in each recess, using special watchmaker's oil and oiler. The oiler is a tiny wire designed to deliver a minuscule amount of oil to prevent over oiling.
