Since the first time watch is discovered, this timepiece quickly becomes a favored accessory that adorns the wrist of either men or women. In the modern times, watches that are worn by men employ entirely different styles and watch faces from those of women’s watches. Earlier watches are crafted using plain and unsophisticated design and construction. They even don’t implement power source that can sustain long-term utilization of the device. However, as time goes by and more enhanced technologies are discovered and more sophisticated designs are implemented in various devices, watches’ style and design also experience a series of improvements.
There are several watch parts that are continuously improved to make the watch meet the current technological advancement and aesthetical sophistication including dial, markings, hands, crystal, and crown. The first part is the watch face or dial. It is a part on which the time markings and watch hands are located. People who want to know the current time will see the information displayed on this part. Most dials contain three common parts including the face base on which time numbers are written, twelve pieces of numbered or non-numbered time markings, and tree hands that are attached in the middle of the face using the crown and rotate continuously clockwise. The shorter hand is the hour hand which moves 30 every one hour, the longer hand is the minute hand which moves every sixty seconds, and one second hand whose length can be longer than or the same with that of minute hand. All of those components are protected perfectly by the watch crystal.
Since the recent watches are operated using electricity which is produced by a small battery, watch’s components should be kept away from water. For that reason, watch crystal is assembled quite tightly and waterproof. There are various faces with diverse designs and additional components that can be observed at several wholesale watch faces.
