Collection and maintenance of clocks and watches

Watches collection can not only pay attention to the brand. But also pay attention to it "Original Original." The quality of goods and of historical value is very important. Movement and the axle should be intact, the appearance must be no cracks, accessories to complete, accurate travel time, etc., are all collections need attention.

Some tables, although not very well-known, but the process if it is first class and age, it will also be the target of collectors. Depends on how the brand is created for those who service and production pattern, etc., the investment should be carefully selected, greedy "cheap."

Some of the cheapest prices in particular often appear in the list of film market, investors must understand their origin, age, quality, functionality, style and mechanical structure, such as the situation, we must be patient to view dial, movement after the board and table Shell and so on, through its inscribed to decide whether to buy.

2: it must retain the original appearance of the factory can not be modified.

4: by experts certainly classic, and its sophisticated mechanical structure design can use for several centuries, from generation to generation to achieve the objective.

5: watches are no longer produced.

In short, The Sound of Music is the basic conditions. After decades of a time-tested form, has also removed the normal beloved by the people of the world, not natural damage abandoned, there is a basic condition for its causes and, therefore, we take it as a living work of art. For decades hundreds of years later, when you come up with your children and grandchildren to watch the use of collections, the envy and admiration of others have proved that you have extraordinary wisdom and vision.
