Only real players need a high-precision quartz watch

House of watches

Watch the clock [technology] This matter should not be delayed. straight into the topic. Not long ago, Longines launched a new watch, it is surprising that the new watch is a quartz watch. I believe that the vast majority of watches players, playing mechanical watches, under normal circumstances, you will not be concerned about the players quartz watch. I used to watch the contact declare in no uncertain terms, in the career, I only recognized and contacted a quartz watch, and the new Longines quartz watch, quartz watch is second times to pay attention to. The Longines quartz watch reminds me of a story I've seen in the past.

After the launch of this Longines quartz watch, some of the media on this watch was explained, the introduction of the new technology, new features in the watch. For a quartz watch, I don't want to talk about the electronic technology it (but I will also be in the back, because if is introduced to) electronic technology, we can buy with six wave function, the function of GPS watches, these watches are more technologically advanced. Because the watch is not a mere competition technical content of things.

So, I would like to know some of the stories and experiences, to give you a "reason" to play mechanical table players, why can buy a quartz watch.

Quartz plate Seiko GS, visible pointer and time mark cutting very sharp.

I many years before, with the domestic table in the circle of a gangster working (everyone knows who), from the beginning of the watch later got to know absolutely ignorant of watches, watches, watches the market to understand the familiar types and accumulation of trading experience, on a little bit of the things with him learn. In fact, you can see from my usual point of view, attitude, I am more fascinated by Rolex and PP, which are also affected by this experience and the formation of. But one day, I saw BOSS wearing a Seiko GS. In that year, Seiko GS is being fired high, two market prices all the way up, the price can even approach Rolex. But then stir GS are mechanical, and I found his hand GS is only quartz. I am very surprised, even if wearing GS, how can you wear a quartz watch? This watch is very sharp, unlike all the lines are relatively mellow Rolex. GS needle and scale cutting "very sharp", my impression is that night 6, 7 o'clock in the BOSS office, it is already dark, but as long as there is a little light in the dial pointer and scale immediately reflecting very "shine" or "dazzling" light, let me feel like the edge light. Then he told me that the quartz watch is one of the essence of the GS, because the quartz watch is the invention of Seiko, quartz table jump time is also a Seiko invention. Seiko quartz watch is the beginning of the sweep seconds, and later in order to save electricity, made a second jump. Quartz GS at the time, like in my heart, this is my only recognized quartz table.

The famous watch collectors, watch the critic Qie Fengqing (Xi doctor) perennial in domestic and Japanese exchanges. Is the first batch of people to understand the Japanese brand luxury watches, was also the first person to start wearing GS. Before a few years, because the working arrangements, I have been doing Qie doctor's commissioning editor learned a lot, so the story. Seiko GS was once known as the Oriental Rolex, a time fame, reputation excellent. Many players, collectors have begun to look for Seiko GS, but at the time, Seiko GS is not sold in foreign countries, only in the local sales. It's hard to get out of japan. The late "Hongkong watches forum" founder Mr Xi Zhong asked doctors to help find GS. Later, I learned that many collectors in the hands of GS are quartz. I don't understand, ask BOSS, why is this?. In addition to what he told me about the history of the Seiko quartz watch, there is also a reason why, these players, collectors quartz GS as a school time table to use. Because Seiko GS quartz table when the quasi - (after all, quartz table), can be used to other mechanical watches with time (more than one watch, in addition to wearing the hand, most of the rest are required to adjust the time). Of course, you may say that the use of mobile phones, computers can not do it? That's right, but watches are just for fun. I remember the Qie doctor at that time in order to wake up at night without lights will know the time, so she bought a three question; a game player in order to calculate the Boiled Egg time, prevent forget the pot egg, bought a glashutte original countdown repeater. If you want to use the practical point of view, we do not have to buy anything, and even iPhone is not used, a 1000 yuan mobile phone to solve all the problems.

Seiko GS use quartz movement.

From these experiences, I learned that the famous quartz watch can also be bought, can wear. Of course, the premise is recognized by the players, collectors, the brand respected quartz watches, rather than those large quantities of cheap quartz watches.

Seiko GS has a certain brand prestige, recognized. Although I later came into contact with more Rolex, but also realized that the GS called Oriental Rolex some exaggerated, GS does have a gap with Rolex. I remember quite clearly that one day when we talked about GS, BOSS said that GS was close to OMEGA, but it had not reached the level of europe. From these two years, we will be able to clearly see the GS market, this remark is not empty, GS heat is slowly down. Longines's introduction of VHP (Very High Precision abbreviation, is the meaning of high-precision) high-precision quartz watch, is my second attention to the quartz watch. The reason is that Longines brand hard enough, prestige. GS or Longines worth mentioning, the brand is the first meaning. Technology is good, the accuracy is high, if there is no brand prestige support, then this watch is just a tool, rather than luxury watches.

Longines VHP high precision quartz watch

Longines VHP high precision quartz watch with calendar function, calendar has been adjusted in the factory.

This time, Longines VHP quartz table from the technology and precision are more than Seiko GS quartz watch. Longines VHP high precision quartz table annual error is +/-5 seconds, the accuracy of the GS is not so high as Longines. Longines VHP high precision quartz watch is also a perpetual calendar table, the calendar is set, and they do not have to adjust (calendar factory has been set up, they can not be adjusted). Seiko quartz table will be made once a second jump, in order to save electricity. Longines VHP high-precision quartz watch can sleep on their own, the watch is still 1 minutes, it will enter the sleep mode, suspend work. When re wearing, click on the watch crown will return to normal time, continue to go. There is a more fun, when the watch used for many many years, the watch battery, the second hand of a watch will be 5 seconds again (I remember is 5 seconds, if not please correct), further saving. The highest precision quartz watch in the long time, do not have to replace the battery (continuous time 5 years do not need to replace the battery, replace the battery without sleep function under 20 years), plus the calendar, when I learned that Longines launched such a quartz watch, I exclaimed, this is the most appropriate "time table". Higher than the Longines VHP precision quartz watch but also accurate radio meter, are not luxury watches, GS accuracy is not high, Longines VHP, Longines VHP is also more suitable than the GS".

So you can see why we can also buy a pair of quartz watches (quartz GS is also very good), because we are on the mechanical table, need it. (photo / text watch house Yan Danping)
