Mechanical Clocks

Mechanical watches with style

Mechanical watches are the oldest independently operating mechanical devices. They fascinate us with their technology and precision. The deviation of well-adjusted mechanical watches is a maximum of 0.0002 percent. Mechanical watches are handcrafted works of art that express a personal style and have their own personality. From our extensive selection of mechanical watches, find the model that best suits your style and personality.

Mechanical watches - the classics of the watch world

The birth of the mechanical watch was already in the Middle Ages. Since then, mechanical watches have been continuously developed and are still very popular today.

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

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

How do mechanical watches work? They either have 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. With the spring tensioner, the spring, which is usually made of steel, relaxes further and further and must be tensioned again as soon as possible. In both cases, this involves special precision mechanics.

Mechanical watches usually have deviations in their accuracy of 10 -20 seconds per day. 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, with the long-term 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 clock manufacturers such as AMS and Kieninger. If you have any questions, we will be happy to help you and hope you enjoy browsing.
