Anti-magnetic watches


Anti-shock movement mount


Automatic winding

This relates to a watch where the mainspring is wound by harnessing the movement of the wearer’s arm/wrist. These movements cause the rotor (an oscillating weight) to rotate and wind the mainspring.

Every year prestigious watch and Jewellery houses celebrate and showcase their new launches, creations and innovations at Baselworld, Switzerland. The show attracts press, retailers, and consumers and is widely known as the most important premier event in the watch industry calendar.


This is a special stage in the case production, in which the metal is bombarded with electrons to give the stainless steel a dramatically increased hardness and scratch resistance. On the Vickers scale of hardness, B-EBE2000 produces a watch case with a value of 2000, which is approximately seven times that of the normal stainless steel used for watch cases.






A chronometer defines the accuracy and testing over an official 15-day series of tests by the official Swiss Chronometer testing institute, over a range of temperatures and five physical positions. The average daily deviation rate of the movement must be between –4/+6 seconds per day and only then can the movement be awarded as a chronometer and ultimately receive a certificate issued by the COSC.
