When choosing a watch you consider many properties. No doubt, first of all you consider the design, as wristwatches, both authentic timepieces and copy timepieces, are not merely timekeepers, these are accessories that should match their owner’s style and that can emphasize someone’soriginality.
However, there are many other qualities that can be taken into account. A wristwatch should be not only luxurious, but also precise. Thus you ought to find out what kind of movement your wristwatch is powered by.
Some timepieces are powered by mechanical movements, some watches feature quartz movements. So what sort of movement is better?
There is nothing ideal in this world, so each of these movements has its pluses and minuses.
Quartz movement is considered to be the most reliable one. Quartz timepieces are much more precise than mechanical ones. What is more, thanks to their small size quartz movements are successfully used in watches of small size Many companies equip their women’s watch models with quartz movements, as women’s wristwatch models are usually characterized by small size. A quartz timepiece, unlike a mechanical one, has a battery, thus you do not have to wind a quartz wristwatch. A quartz watch is easy to care for – just make sure to replace the battery from time. What to price, quartz timepieces have one more good characteristic – these are much cheaper than mechanical timepieces. That is why copy watches, for example Breitling imitation wristwatches are usually powered by quartz movements. Even a replica wristwatch, for example a replica Breitling watch, that imitates an real mechanical watch can be powered by a quartz movement.
Mechanical watches are equipped with mechanical movements and perhaps you understand that mechanical movement is not as reliable as a quartz movement. There are manually wound mechanical movements and automatic mechanical movements. Mechanical wristwatches are not designed for lazy people – these require regular winding. Unlike mechanical timepieces, automatic watches do not require winding, however, automatic watches continue working only if worn constantly.
With all their disadvantages, mechanical timepieces are known to be more prestigious than automatic wristwatches. Make your choice!

Breitling, with its famous wings as its flag, has taken the world by storm with its annual chronolog, a yearly showcase of its watch collections.
With the influx of Breitling replicas, many of us here will at least own a Breitling, even if it’s just a Breitling replica. As such, many of us will definitely have many questions regarding this remarkable watch-maker. What is the reasons that make this company tick? Who founded Breitling? Why is it’s icon a wing? In this article, I’ll take you through some of the facts behind this giant in the watch industry.
When was Breitling set up?
Breitling was founded in 1884 by Leon Breitling in Switzerland. This bright young lad was one of the first who built the chronograph, also commonly referred to as a “stopwatch” in modern times.
Why is Breitling’s logo a pair of wings?
To answer this, let’s go back into the past for a moment.
During the firm’s infancy, the logo was etched beneath the dial. It was hard to identify the signature “Montbrillant”, and later “Breitling” because of the position of the engravement. Then, the 1950s, the more-or-less modern logo, the Breitling wings with a “B” initial at the center, was borned.
Why the wings, then? That’s because this watch was initially meant for aviators. Breitling’s drive towards chronographs in its early days was fuelled partly by the intention to build precise time-measuring mechanisms for pilots. One of their designs in the past was also influenced by a close aviator friend of Leon Breitling.
Did Breitling ever go to space?
Yes! In 1962, Lt.Commander Scott Carpenter took the Breitling Cosmonaute aboard Aurora 7 during the mission codenamed “Mercury Mission MA-7″. It was said that this watch was made personally for him, and he intentionally wore it aboard for the mission.
