Which brand of mechanical watch is good?
Nowadays, many people choose mechanical watches when they go out. A mechanical watch not only serves as a tool for telling time but also highlights the wearer's temperament and taste. So, which brand of mechanical watch is good? This is a question often asked by friends buying a watch for the first time. Let Watch Home tell you!
The accuracy of mechanical watches is far inferior to quartz; quartz can be almost perfectly accurate, while mechanical watches—taking Rolex as an example—are all chronometer-certified, which is difficult to achieve even among top-tier watches, but the accuracy at the time of leaving the factory can only be guaranteed within +6 to -4s/24 hours. In addition, the anti-magnetic and shock-resistant performance of mechanical watches is relatively limited. Therefore, if you use a watch as a timing tool and pursue accuracy, quartz is recommended. If you use a watch as jewellery, it doesn't really matter; just choose what you like.
For friends planning to buy entry-level or mid-range mechanical watches, I recommend Tissot; its world-leading sales volume demonstrates the stability of its quality and its excellent value for money. Besides that, Mido, Hamilton, Seiko, and Citizen are all good choices.
For mid-to-high-end watches, I recommend Rolex. Firstly, they are all chronometer-certified, ensuring a certain level of accuracy. Secondly, all recent men's Rolex models feature Parachrom hairsprings, which offer relatively better anti-magnetic and shock-resistant performance, whereas ordinary hairsprings are more easily magnetised, which can significantly affect accuracy. In addition, Omega, IWC, and Panerai are all excellent brands!
