Watch Body / Dial
Often referred to as the face of the watch. It is where the time-markers and hands are placed. Designers typically include their unique style on the dial through the use of color, gemstones, or negative space.
Watch Movements
Manual Winding
This refers to a watch that needs to be wound every day to continue functioning. The crown is attached to a spring, which ensures that the internal mechanisms inside the timepiece keep moving when wound tight enough. Manually wound watches typically last 36-48 hours before they stop telling time.
Traditional
Typically lasts 36–48 hours per wind
Automatic
Automatic watches are powered by the motions of the wrist, making them the most popular make for watches. A rotor spins with wrist movement, continuously winding the mainspring.
