The amazing Chinese mechanical watch. Featuring a Japanese movement, the Seiko NH35. A bullet proof workhorse of a movement if there ever was one.
This vidya will attempt to show you how to set the time and date without just totally dickering the complicated machinery contained inside.
If you know anything about watches at all, you know that the cheapest Chinese quartz watch will be vastly more accurate than the most expensive Swiss watch in the world.
That's just the way it is. Computers are more accurate than machines.
But they have no soul.
A good mechanical watch is a machine, a marvel of engineering. Something that keeps highly accurate time (not perfect, but highly accurate) using springs, gears and jewels for bearings.
A mechanical watch has a heartbeat and needs regular input from the user to continue running. That may not count as having a soul but it's a damn sight closer than any computer will ever come.
Alas, they will not last forever as some may think. The lubrication will eventually either break down or turn into grease and slow the watch down or completely stop it.
That's when it's time to have the watch serviced.
Unfortunately, servicing a Seiko NH35 movement is a lot more expensive than just having it replaced entirely. So I'll leave servicing to the expensive Swiss watches.
Just wear it and it should last you for at least 10 years before it shows any symptoms of needing work.
And know that you're wearing a relic, something from the past. A machine that tells time in good old fashioned analog style, so nobody under 40 can even read it. '-)
