In order to keep up with time and never be late for girls, the watch will help - a bright, stylish, useful accessory. Such a device can perform not only its direct functions, but also be an interesting addition to any image.

A bit of history

Women's watch is a stylish accessory of a bright and beautiful woman. Few people know that originally the watches were just a female accessory. Men and did not assume that the fashionable wave will reach them. The first mention of the time meters was manifested in the works of Archimedes. The hourglass became its determinant of time.

About the first mechanical samples started talking by the end of the VI century. According to some assumptions, it was a water clock in which a sensor was built with the sound of time.

A more modern mention of this accessory was in the XIII century. Such a device was used only in temples and monasteries. On its dial there were 12 compartments, each of them marked an hour.

Later pocket watches were invented. They were decorated with precious stones, and the dial was divided into two parts: solar and mechanical. Such options were available only to rich people.

In 1571, a watch bracelet was born. It was decorated with pearls and diamonds.

If for the beautiful half of humanity such an accessory was an exceptionally complement to the evening image, then the men noted the convenience of a wrist indicator of time. The military was the first to notice this. Since then, watches have become universal for both women and men.

Kinds

The main part of the wrist determinant of time - the dial. There are a large number of design options. The simplest are the arrows. More dimensional, but for many girls convenient options with a combined dial. On these accessories you can see both the switch and the electronic view.

The action of many mechanical models is based on the work of the pendulum. The principle of operation of such watches is simple: when performing a turn around its axis, energy is transmitted to the engine of the mechanism, and sound is produced.

Classic designs can be of different sizes, but their main feature is simplicity. Such models are ideal for daily use. For a special case, you can use watches with Swarovski crystals.

Talking wrist accessories are most often used by visually impaired people.. Their functions are simple: report time. When you press the button announcer announces the time.

In addition to temperature measurement, you can find options such as a compass and a stopwatch in travel models. Modern options are also presented with a heart rate monitor, which is very important when playing sports.

Smart watches can be classified as multifunctional time indicators. Modern time indicators serve as a substitute for a mobile device. With them, you can receive and answer calls, read messages, check mail.

The category of unusual models can be attributed to the luminous, with a camera, with a cache, with an engraving. Glowing models are a great helper in the dark. Watch with a camera will capture the bright moments in life. Models with a cache can replace a safe. Many jewels can not be put in there, the body thickness is only 7 cm, but especially valuable small objects can be placed.

Unusual options include transparent, thin and double-sided.. Transparent watches stand out thanks to an open mechanism. A similar transparent operation of the dial is found in bilateral models. If the transparent has a back cover, then the bilateral has it.

Thin models are convenient and practical.

One of the most popular models of time determinants - became self-winding. The advantage of this device is the lack of self-winding. The most problematic part is the sleeve, which is responsible for adjusting the time. It can get moisture and dust. Self-winding models allow you to avoid such troubles, as this vulnerable zone is not in them.

The form

Romantic and antique spirit stands out in the style of steampunk. These models have an old look with scuffs and roughness. Products made of glass, copper and wood. All these materials embody the Victorian era.

Material

It is very important to know from what material not only the case is made, but also the watch strap. The better the material, the better it will sit on an elegant female handle and will be less harmful for the delicate skin of girls.

The most popular are silicone, metal, leather, plastic and gold-plated products.

Cheapest and easiest plastic products. The main manufacturer and supplier is China. The processing technology of the material from which the fashion accessory is made, is being tried to be improved. Accordingly, such plastic will be hypoallergenic. Naturally, the inexpensive material will not put an expensive mechanism. But in the conditions of the modern world, inexpensive does not mean bad. So, the plastic model will be a good budget option.

A bright and high-quality model will be a model of silicone. The advantages of this material are wide:

  • hypoallergenic;
  • durability;
  • water resistance;
  • ease;
  • color variety.

Classic and versatile models are leather goods.. Such products boast durability. However, such materials do not like moisture, so you should avoid contact with water when wearing watches made of leather.

The classic models include watches made of metal.. Gold is a popular metal involved in the manufacture of watches. But since this is a very light material, other metals are added to the watch when it is made. This technology allows you to make the body of the accessory more solid. We can not say about cheaper materials like steel and silver. These materials add rigor to the image.

The latest trend has become a watch made of bamboo. Bamboo products are surprisingly light, hypoallergenic. In the manufacture of wrist accessory used environmentally friendly materials.

The most impractical models are gilded. Gilding has the ability to fade, as the thickness of the coating is low. On average, 1 micron of gilding decreases in thickness in about one year. The reasons for the decrease may be different: clothing, weather, chemical composition of the skin, etc.

Colour

The watch is a bright accessory that should perform not only its direct functions, but also emphasize the mood and style of their owner.

Color depends on the material:

  1. The most colorful models are made of plastic and silicone. They can be made in different shades: white, black, red, pink, orange.
  2. Metal clocks are less filled in the palette. The color changes depending on the addition of different metals. For example, copper gives a pink hue to gold. White tone is achieved by adding palladium to gold.
