What is an automatic watch?

Posted on 23 August 2019 at 9:09 AM

For the watch lover who is fascinated by the operation of the authentic clock and the technology behind a watch, an automatic watch is often the ultimate choice. In contrast to a quartz watch, an automatic watch does not work on a battery, but on movement. The specific movement of the wrist ensures that the watch is supplied with the energy required to keep running. Replacing a battery is therefore not necessary with an automatic watch. This type of movement is very effective and is often used in more expensive watches. The automatic watch is paramount for many Swiss watch brands.

Because an automatic watch does not require a battery, you are basically assured of a working watch when it is moving enough. Nevertheless, the necessary precautions are also required for an automatic watch. As said, when you wear the watch, it is supplied with energy by the wrist movement. If you do not wear it, it is necessary to provide the watch with this movement in a different way. This is possible through the use of a watch winder. A watch winder mimics the movement of the wrist, so that your watch will continue to run even when you are not wearing it and will also remain protected against external influences.

A high-quality automatic watch is made by hand from a professional, using high-quality materials. This includes stainless steel, sapphire glass, fine leather, but also gold and carbon. Examples of brands with these types of watches are Tag Heuer, Laco and Fortis. Various watch brands also have models in the collection that offer a view of the movement (calibre) through a see-through bottom, such as Iron Annie, Epos and Junkers. This see-through bottom offers the possibility to view a piece of the special technology behind the operation of the watch. Certainly for the true enthusiast of added value in an automatic watch.

BensonTrade offers a wide collection of high-quality automatic watches from various renowned brands. Of course with a minimum of 2 years warranty, packed in original watch box and manual. We ship worldwide via PostNL, DPD or Fedex.

Swiss made watch winders | 100% quality

Posted on 21 August 2019 at 8:41 AM

In the field of watch winders, we have a wide range of different brands, quality, design and ways of winding in our webshop. A good watch winder provides an automatic watch (or several automatic watches at the same time) with the required energy and thus ensures that the watch keeps running, even if it is not worn. This makes the watch always ready in terms of time, date and other functions and you do not have to burden the crown by always pulling it out. After all, the crown is one of the weakest parts of a watch and you don't want to pull it out too much. In addition, the right watch winder offers protection against damage, but also against wear. By preventing the watch from standing still, it also prevents small inaccuracies in time and date display. This makes this an absolutely indispensable accessory for the owner of an automatic watch or a collection thereof.

Swiss made watches

Posted on 15 August 2019 at 8:03 AM

We all know that Switzerland is seen as the country "pur sang" for watches. This country has a long and special history in the field of watches, especially of automatic and mechanical watches. Over the years, watch brands from Switzerland have been able to gain a lot of experience and knowledge. The country is home to many highly skilled technicians and has various innovations achieved. A Swiss watch is reliable, robust and of very high quality and manufactured with passion and extreme precision. The Swiss made label is more important than ever!

Fortis Cockpit watch

When a watch brand is allowed to use the "Swiss made" label, this says a lot about the quality, origin and durability of the watch. A "Swiss made" watch must meet various strict requirements and conditions. The origin of the "Swiss made" designation can be found in 1971. The requirements and conditions were drawn up this year, followed by a change in 1995. Note that this standard is a minimum standard. So there is still a difference in quality possible between the various Swiss watch brands. The differences are mainly reflected in the production method and the use of materials. Of course, brand experience is also important, you now pay more for a Breitling watch than for an Epos watch. Nevertheless, Epos delivers beautiful watches that are not inferior in terms of technology or use of materials. And the price is much more interesting.

What does a genuine Swiss watch offer? In any case, the movement of the watch must come from Switzerland and be built into the watch case there. There is also the requirement that the final inspections must be carried out within Switzerland. In addition, at least 60% of the development costs incurred must have been spent within Switzerland.

BensonTrade offers a wide range of beautiful Swiss brands such as Epos, Fortis and Glycine. Absolute quality watches with Swiss made automatic movements.
