FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. WHY SHOULD I PURCHASE A MECHANICAL WATCH WHEN A QUARTZ WATCH WILL KEEP BETTER TIME?
It is true that a quartz watch will keep better time but it does not have the lasting qualities of the mechanical. We are still repairing mechanical timepieces from the 1870`s. The quartz technology changes with the wind. Manufacturers are coming out with new movements and discontinuing existing movements. This means the circuit boards are no longer being made. The circuit boards deteriorate with time and are damaged by unqualified personnel . If this watch is very special to the owner they are in trouble not being able to get the parts to keep it running. The new movements are usually of less quality and do not fit the existing dials. Mechanical watch can be repaired by most watchmakers and the parts are most always available. The Sentyme watch is much more attention getting with its shimmering exposed balance wheel and will definitely create conversation.
