You've probably heard people go on and on about the "sweep" or talk about how top quality watches don't make that tell-tale "tick-tock." For all intents and purposes, these people are right. When you pick up a Cartier or Chopard, the tiny hand measuring the passage of seconds glides effortlessly, like a toothless hockey player. In actuality, all wristwatches tick-tock. However, in a true quality watch, the internal mechanism (the movement) is so finely tuned and so well constructed, that these ticks happen as often as nine times a second, producing a flawless sweep. This is the difference between a five-dollar movement and a movement costing hundreds of dollars.
It's is also why sweeping hand watches need the time set every month. They have nice fine teeth and the hand sweeps all pretty but looses 5 minutes a month on a $35,000 watch! Yet my cheaper $600.00 tic tok invitca keeps perfect time. And not the Rolex doesn't need fixed I've been assured by a few people this is NORMAL. So I now buy the cheaper watches and can get a lot more of them. They have nicer styles anyway.
