A woman in the modern world is a person striving for constant growth. Her day is full of bright events and scheduled by the minute. In order to be in time everywhere and never be late for girls, a watch will help - a bright, stylish, useful accessory. Such a device will be able to perform not only its direct functions, but also be an interesting addition to any image.

A bit of history

Women's watches are a stylish accessory of a bright and beautiful woman. Few people know that initially the watch was only a female accessory. Men did not imagine that a fashionable wave would reach them. The first mention of time meters appeared in the works of Archimedes. Hourglass became its determinant of time.

About the first mechanical samples started talking by the end of the VI century. According to some assumptions, it was a water clock in which a sensor with soundtrack was integrated.

A more modern mention of this accessory was in the 13th century. Such a device was used only in temples and monasteries. On its dial there were 12 branches, each of them indicating an hour.

Pocket watches were invented later. They were decorated with precious stones, and the dial was divided into two parts: solar and mechanical. Such options were available only to rich people.

In 1571, a bracelet with a watch was born. It was decorated with pearls and diamonds.

If, for the fair half of humanity, such an accessory was exclusively an addition to the evening look, then men noted the convenience of a wrist time indicator. The first to notice this was the military. Since then, the watch has become universal for both women and men.

Kinds

There are many types of watches: large, talking, classic, directional, combination, pendulum, multi-function, with a thermometer, with a heart rate monitor, self-winding, smart watches, with Swarovski crystals, transparent, luminous, engraved, with a camera, with a cache, thin, bilateral. Each of these options has its own function and will fit into the wardrobe of each fashionista.

Large female time determinants are multifunctional. It all depends on the purpose of wearing a stylish accessory.

The main part of the wristwatch is the dial. A large number of options for its design. The simplest are switch. More overall, but for many girls convenient options with a combined dial. On such accessories you can see both arrow and electronic look.

The action of many mechanical models is based on the work of the pendulum. The principle of operation of such watches is simple: when performing a revolution around its axis, energy is transferred to the engine of the mechanism, and sound is generated.

Classic patterns can be of different sizes, but their main feature is simplicity. Such models are ideal for daily use. For a special case, you can use a watch with Swarovski crystals.

Talking wrist accessories are most often used by visually impaired people.. Their functions are simple: tell time. When the button is pressed, the announcer announces the time.

Multifunctional watches include various types of activities. If a girl is actively involved in tourism and sports, a watch with a thermometer is suitable for her. In addition to measuring temperature, in tourist models you can find options such as a compass and a stopwatch. Modern options are also presented with a heart rate monitor, which is very important when playing sports.

The category of multifunctional indicators of time include smart watches. Modern time indicators serve as a substitute for a mobile device. With the help of them you can receive and answer calls, read messages, check mail.

Unusual models include luminous, with a camera, with a cache, with engraving. Luminous models are a great helper in the dark. A watch with a camera will capture the bright moments in life. Models with a cache can replace a safe. You can’t put a lot of jewelry there, the thickness of the case is only 7 cm, but you can put especially valuable small objects.

Engraved watches give a good chance to put important words on your stylish accessory.

Unusual options include transparent, thin, and double-sided.. Transparent watches stand out thanks to the open mechanism. Similar transparent dial operation is found in bilateral models. If transparent ones have a back cover, then bilateral ones do not.

Thin models are convenient and practical.

One of the most popular models of time determinants - self-winding. The advantage of such a device is the lack of self-winding. The most problematic part is the sleeve, which is responsible for adjusting the time. Moisture and dust may get into it. Self-winding models avoid such troubles, since this vulnerable zone is absent in them.

The form

The shape of the clock is also different. In this case, it all depends on the preferences of the owner of a stylish accessory.

The most classic shape is oval. Initially, the mechanical watch had an oval shape, which has been preserved to this day. Due to their shape, such models look elegant. Complete with a similar accessory is either a leather strap or a metal bracelet.

Square models are found in both sports and classic styles.. Most often, the bracelet for such accessories is made of leather, ceramics, rubber.

The triangular shape is suitable for special occasions. The dial is trimmed with precious stones. In combination with such a watch is a leather strap.

Fashion models

There are various unusual models that emphasize the originality and uniqueness of the taste of girls.

One of the extravagant options are models with a dial in the form of a solar system.. Such an accessory reminds one to enjoy the moment, and the interesting design of the dial shows that there is no hurry and no need to rush.

The following model is also intended for leisurely persons. A neat black strap, an oval case - everything corresponds to the classical form of the watch, but there is one feature in them. In such models there is no familiar dial with arrows. To determine the time inside the case there is a ball. It is enough to give a horizontal position and the internal magnet brings the ball to the correct time on the dial.

There are options for math experts. Instead of the usual dial, formulas are given. You need to have a good understanding of mathematics to determine what time it is.

There are many brands in the world that have established themselves in the brand watch market.. The exclusivity of these firms lies in the presence of precious stones. Most often, there are diamond models. Simpler options are made with cubic zirconias and amber. Each model is made with the logo of the manufacturer.

One of the famous brands - Rolex. The beautiful half of humanity prefers this particular brand due to their attractive appearance: case and strap made of expensive metals, precious stones and diamonds, clear beautiful arrows. Such models indicate the status of a girl, symbolize luxury and wealth.

The leading brand for the production of expensive and high-quality jewelry has become the French brand Cartier. The presence of a high social status is emphasized by diamonds, luxurious design, genuine leather straps.

The romantic and antique spirit stands out in the steampunk style. These models have an old look with scuffs and roughness. Products are made of glass, copper and wood. All of these materials embody the Victorian era.

Material

It is very important to know from what material not only the case is made, but also the watch strap. The better the material, the better it will sit on an elegant female handle and will be less harmful to the delicate skin of girls.

The most popular are silicone, metal, leather, plastic and gold-plated products.

The cheapest and easiest plastic products. The main manufacturer and supplier is China. They try to improve the processing technology of the material from which the fashion accessory is made. Accordingly, such a plastic will be hypoallergenic. Naturally, an expensive mechanism will not be put on inexpensive material. But in today's world, inexpensive does not mean bad. So, the plastic model will be a good budget option.

A bright and high-quality example will be a model made of silicone. The advantages of this material are wide:

  • hypoallergenicity;
  • durability;
  • water resistance;
  • ease;
  • color variety.

Classic and universal models are leather goods. Such products boast of durability. However, such materials do not like moisture, so you should avoid contact with water when wearing a leather watch.

Classic watches include metal watches. A popular metal involved in the manufacture of watches is gold. But since it is a very light material, other metals are added to the watch. This technology allows you to make the accessory case more solid. It is impossible not to say about cheaper materials like steel and silver. These materials add rigor to the look.

The latest trend was a bamboo watch. Bamboo products are surprisingly lightweight, hypoallergenic. In the manufacture of wrist accessories are used environmentally friendly materials.

The most impractical models were gilded. Gilding has the property of erasing, as the coating thickness is low.On average, 1 micron of gold is reduced in thickness in about one year. The reasons for the decrease may be different: clothing, weather, chemical composition of the skin, etc.

Color

A watch is a bright accessory that should fulfill not only its direct functions, but also emphasize the mood and style of its owner.

Color depends on the material:

  1. The most colorful models are made of plastic and silicone. They can be made in different shades: white, black, red, pink, orange.
  2. Metal watches are less full in the palette. Color changes depending on the addition of different metals. For example, copper gives a pink tint to gold. White is achieved by adding palladium to gold.

It is also worth considering the design, which also depends on where and with what the accessory will be dressed. The design is represented by a huge selection: with precious stones, unusual shape, multi-layer straps, with a compass, with a stopwatch.

Do not forget about the size and shape of the hand. The owner of a thin hand fit models with a narrow strap. A massive watch is suitable for a wide wrist.

Material is also very important. You must carefully study what the accessory is made of. The material must be of high quality and harmless to the skin.

It is necessary to look at water resistance. This parameter is labeled water resistant on the chassis. If the accessory indicates 50m, then you can safely swim with the watch. Markings of 100m and 200m indicate the level of immersion in water.

The higher the level of water resistance, the more likely the watch will last longer, more.

How to care?

  • Many models are protected from moisture, but do not exaggerate this parameter. Do not expose the watch to a constant temperature change. Sudden temperature changes can lead to loss of water resistance.
  • If condensation has appeared, then it is worth opening the case and drying it. If the condensate has not disappeared, it is better to send the accessory to the manufacturer for repair.
  • Strong impacts should be avoided, as they can scratch the glass of the case and ruin the operation of the mechanism.
  • It is important to keep the watch clean. Periodically wipe the case, use a toothpick to remove dirt from hard-to-reach places. If the watch is waterproof, you can rinse it with warm water. Only if the strap is leather, do not wet it.
