commented onWhat is movement vibrations per hour (VPH) and why does it matter?·
Vostok watches using their in-house mvt beating at 19,800 bph
There are also Federique Constant Monolithic, zenith defy using silicon balance wheel vibrate at 80hz
There are turning fork mvt have frequency around 300~720 hz depend on calibre
And Accutron DNA using electrostatic mvt as far as i know it spinning like Spring Drive
Deep down the rabit hole we also have Citizen cal 5800 electronic have 12hz frequecy however it only beat at 6 bps because they add additional gear to reduce the wear,
And then quartz happen Citizen rush to develop an Quartz regulate electric watch cal 8811,8821 that have 115,200 bph later it was replace by fully quartz electronic like today watches
commented onThe End of the Watch World as We Know It·
Isn't smartwatch is just glorify quartz watch, unless you want to use phone with tiny screen so smartwatch not gonna replace phone, and it not gonna replace normal quartz watch either because battery, price and the watch it self doesnt last very long compare to simple quartz and for mechanical watch i dont think people buy mechanical watch for practical reason so maybe market for mechanical maybe sink little bit
Spring drives are quarzt mechanical movement, most of watch finishing technique that we have to see with microscope is overrate, also tourbillon is way too overrate
I made one for myself out of Lego, it is for my kinetic watch since normal winder doesn't work for kinetic, and it also work with normal automatic watch but i only use for my seiko with 7s26 mvt since it doesnt support manual wind
