Ladies wrist watch with alarm clock

Time is the most expensive currency in the world, and therefore people are increasingly beginning to appreciate punctuality. The alarm clock has long become an integral part of our everyday life, and technical progress does not stand still, trying to ease the human life, and introduces all new devices into it. One of the most successful and sought-after innovations are wrist watches with an alarm clock.

The idea of ​​combining hours and alarm clock appeared in the middle of the last century. A project of a wrist accessory was developed, which would notify its owner with the help of a small needle, sliding at the set time and scratching the wrist. This model was not destined to go out and gain popularity due to the discomfort that it brought.

And when the era of electronics began and it became possible to integrate the alarm system into any device, some wrist alarm clocks have already ceased to be such a necessity. As part of the clock signaling mechanisms continue to be released until now.

Now a lot of devices are equipped with alarm clocks: from computers to portable gadgets. Mobile digital devices have long surpassed ordinary watches due to its versatility and extensive options. At a given time, you can easily wake up a smartphone, tablet and even a home phone.

In addition, the alarm will not only set the required time for lifting, but also remind you of important events with a signal. However, the main problem of stationary devices is that, being in another room, the owner will most likely not hear the audible sound. In this case, the perfect solution would be a wristwatch with an electronic alarm clock and a reminder system.

Such a device is reliable and convenient - time literally will always be at your fingertips and under control. However, the built-in alarm clock takes up quite a lot of space in the watch case and has its own winding drum, which makes the accessory more massive.

A significant disadvantage of a gadget with a sound alert system is that due to the lack of resonance, the signal can be hard to hear when the watch is on the wrist. This problem was successfully solved - the majority of firms began to build an alarm clock with vibration into their models. Such a signal can not be felt on your hand, which means that no event will be forgotten.

Swiss watches have long been considered a real luxury item, an expensive pleasure for wealthy people. And indeed, for a long time this is the standard of quality and reliability. In the Swiss models, all the details are fitted very precisely, the entire watch movement is carefully tuned.

One of the main misconceptions about these watches is the opinion that they are all performed manually. No matter how great it is, only a few of the most famous watch brands can afford to issue such an exclusive. One Swiss model of manual assembly will cost several tens of thousands of dollars.

Another myth claims that the watches made in Switzerland do not need to be repaired due to their remarkable strength. In fact, despite the highest quality, this watch requires special adjustment and maintenance at least every four years.

Although Swiss companies use sapphire glass for their products, it would be a mistake to think that it is impossible to break them. Of course, it takes much more effort to damage such a strong material, but still it is not "immortal."

Most of the Swiss models also have a built-in calendar, and representatives of the premium segment can boast the presence of so-called perpetual calendars, which are automatically adjusted for leap years.

The most famous in the market of watch movements, in addition to Swiss, are American and Japanese firms that have long established themselves as the reference manufacturers of high-quality watches.

Children's models with an interesting design, which both the boy and the girl will surely like, are also widely represented, and the illuminated clocks will be a good addition to any camping set.

Another option for women's and men's wrist devices is a smart watch. In addition to the reminder system, they also have a number of other useful options: a pedometer, music management and multimedia (in conjunction with a smartphone), heart rate measurement. However, a conventional electronic watch with a vibration alarm remains the easiest to use device.

Quartz models produced by leading companies are much more expensive than mechanical ones:

• CITIZEN;
• Seiko (Japan);
• Oregon (America);
• Girard-Perregaux
• BREGUET (Switzerland).

The main advantage of quartz models is the minimum error (no more than a few seconds per day), while mechanical ones can sometimes be late by a full minute. To prevent such a serious error of a mechanical watch, many companies equip their models with special devices - tourbillons (from the French - “whirlwind”).

Tourbillons compensate for the gravitational effect on the accuracy of the hourly course. For the first time this device was invented in France in the 18th century by the watchmaker Abraham Louis Breguet and looked like a kind of balance adjuster. He was joined by all the other components of the watch. The tourbillon rotated opposite to the clock itself, so that the position of the gadget and the vibration should have minimal effect on the clock.

To unlock the full potential of tourbillons, the accessory must be equally long in the vertical and horizontal position. Therefore, if the watch is not worn on the hand, but lies on the table or on the shelf, the mechanism, on the contrary, will reduce their accuracy. Thus, the desired effect is achieved only by rotating the tourbillon, which additionally increases the load on the watch movement.

Most electronic models of watches have the same system to turn off the alarm. To turn off the signal, you need to go to the accessory menu (most often indicated by the mode button) and use the set key to switch the alarm off.

In order for the device to serve you for many years, you need to carefully approach its choice. First of all, you should familiarize yourself with the materials from which the accessories of your chosen company are made. The most durable and reliable, of course, is metal.

If the accessory is made to order, do not be lazy to pay special attention to details: discuss the design, width and girth of the strap, fastener mechanism with the master.

The design and additional functions of the watch are chosen exclusively according to your own preferences. However, if you decide to buy expensive brand watches, it is worth making such a serious purchase either in a branded boutique or on the manufacturer's official website. Basic precautions will save you from fakes and wasted money.
