Anatomy

What makes a watch

The Case
01

The Case

Diameter, thickness and lug shape decide how a watch wears. Slim cases slip under a cuff; larger diameters read bolder. Each product page lists the case measurements we have for that watch.

The Movement
02

The Movement

Quartz watches are battery-powered and keep steady time with almost no attention. Automatic watches wind themselves from the motion of your wrist and need no battery — many show their working parts through an open dial.

The Details
03

The Details

Dial finish, hands, indices, strap and clasp. Where a watch has luminous hands, a calendar window or a quick-change strap, you’ll find it in the description.

Materials

Honest about what it’s made of

Stainless steel, alloy, leather, mesh, wood and bamboo — our collection spans many materials. We list the materials and specifications provided for each watch, and we don’t claim ratings or certifications we can’t confirm.
