How to choose a watch movement

When many people judge a watch, they always use the origin of the movement as a basis: "The movement they use at home is a self-produced movement.... ..The ones they use at home are Swiss ETA.” It is good to be able to produce movements yourself, but for the benefit of consumers, using products from professional movement factories is also a sign of respect for consumers.

The inner life of mechanical watches affects the emotions of countless people in the industry. While a few watch companies are still using their own resources to manufacture even some parts, many watch manufacturers are purchasing basic parts from movement factories. part. Watch factories with movement manufacturing capabilities include Roger Dubuis, IWC, Patek Philippe, Breitling, Girard-Perregaux, Citizen, Piaget, Rolex, Parmigiani Fleurier, Corum, Lange, Glashütte, Audemars Piguet, Zenith, Brands such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, Chopard, Seiko and Juna. About 1/3 of the brands also provide movements to external parties.

my country's Beijing Watch Factory and Tianjin Seagull Group are also watch manufacturers that produce their own movements. However, unlike most of its Swiss counterparts, although Beibiao can independently develop highly complex movements such as tourbillons and minute repeaters, the design and manufacturing of the movements are subject to external constraints, which is also a major pain point for domestic watches.

Among the watch brands that use products from professional movement factories, there are many that we love. For example, Cartier has always used first-class movement resources. These first-class resources include movements from watch manufacturers such as Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Piaget. But Cartier is not completely dependent on other companies' movements. It is also developing its own movements, such as the famous 8000MC movement.

Movement making is a branch of the watch industry that has existed for nearly a century. The existence of this branch is a good thing for the watch industry. In other words, buying movements from professional movement factories to produce watches may not be as bad as many people think. When you consider the millions of dollars invested in developing an automatic movement, it's easy to understand the temptation to use a movement that has already been developed by someone else. Without a movement, even the most expensive case and decorative craftsmanship are empty. So from this perspective, the movement is very important in the watch.

A long time ago, watches were actually completed independently by individual watchmakers, and the secrets of watch movements were kept silent. This made the development of watches in the enlightenment period for a long time. Nowadays, many watch brands use other people’s movements, and movements are no longer so mysterious. We also have a better understanding of watch movements, which makes our thoughts when buying watches clearer.
