I have been getting into watches a lot lately. Its interesting.
I did make a post on George Washington’s Pocket watch and really got
more interested in pocket watches. So much so I started to check”
where I could purchase one at a goot cost that was functional.
I found several that were interesting.
There caught my eye for a few reasons.
https://www.amazon.com/OGLE-Waterproof-Magnifier-Automatic-Mechanical/dp/B01K2ZUHTQ?th=1
$48.00 and free delivery.
I have never considered owning a pocket watch until now.
Magnifying Glass
Luminous Large Digital Dial – (No Its An Analog Dial)
Light green dial with bronze case
3ATM Waterproof
Gift Box and Chain
The most important reason was in the product description.
Product difference:
Manual Winding Movement:no rotor parts, must be fully wound manually every day.
Automatic Mechanical Movement :own rotor parts,When the person wearing the watch moves, the ROTOR pocket watch rotates to provide an automatic winding function.
Mechanical watch refers to a watch that uses the mainspring to store power.
A hand-wound watch must be wound by a man’s hand rotating the crown and pushing the winding device to tighten the clockwork.
The automatic watch drives the automatic plate to oscillate back and forth through the natural swing of the wrist to automatically tighten the clockwork.
PS:
Office workers and elderly people lack exercise and cannot provide enough power for pocket watches.
It is recommended to manually wind the clockwork 10 times before going to bed every night to maintain time accuracy.
At first I thought it said ps:office workers – ment postal service workers.
That would be mainly correct for the supervisors. 🙂
What actually hit me between the eyes was, “elderly people lack excercise
and cannot provide enough power for pocket watches.”
I have read it takes about 8 hours of body movement with a automatic
wrist watch to keep it “wound up”.
I don’t know about the above pocket watch but I will find out.
So how much movement or exercise will equal the winding of the
pocket watch 10 times to keep it accurate?
My plan is to walk a mile each day to start off with.
For me thats about 2400 steps.
This will vary from person to person.
If not I will increase to 1 1/4 mile = 3,000 steps.
Next if necessary i will increase to 1 1/2 miles = 3,600 steps
The 2 miles = 4,800 steps.
If that ain’t enough to wind this pocket watch it should be.
The main point here is I need the exercise.
Winding the watch is a good excuse.
I will be wound up, so to speak. 🙂
Office workers and elderly people lack exercise and cannot provide enough power for pocket watches.
The best feature of buying a pocket watch was in the small print.
But I decided to get a different one.
