1 The various types of precious metal watch
Nowadays the Precious metals basically have the following 4 kinds of material:
The most common gold watch, the gold case use 125 ‰silver and 750 ‰gold +125 ‰ brass, the color when bronze into silver will become more similar with gold, so this alloy will remains the gold alloy color, and Hardness also increased, and then it can support the pull from the strap. The whole Gold watches is bright enough to impress people around the world.
Red and gold watch (also known as "rose gold", the most elegant), 750 ‰ gold and 250 ‰ bronze made up of case, because lack of the silver, so the whole color seems more red,so we all call it rose gold. Because this special color is not so publicizer than gold, seems more elegant, so it becomes famous in recent years.
white gold watch, people have been confused with white gold and platinum for a long time. The whit gold in watch industry is also an alloy of gold, the proportion of gold is still 750 ‰, and the rest 250‰ is another metal. One method is add zinc, but these alloys' color is a little gray and yellow, so it must plated rhodium to look more bright. However, the rhodium layer will fall off for a long time, which decreased its beautiful effect. While some brands can re-plating rhodium, but it is also very troublesome for consumers. Another approach is to add the palladium, but for palladium also is an precious metal, so if using it the cost will higher than rhodium. However, the alloy plated palladium will be more bright, smooth and white than plated rhodium, and it can reduce a lot of trouble in future maintenance.
Platinum watch (the pinnacle of Watch material), in the jewelry market, we find that platinum jewelry is more expensive than gold jewelry, so are the watches. Platinum is so expensive that only the most precios watch will choose platinum case, and its price is shockingly expensive. In Switzerland, because the official mark platinum and 18k gold purity completely different, so the consumer is easier to tell. For the convenience of buyers, Patek Philippe watch inlaid a small but obvious diamonds in its 6 o'clock scale below the watch, then the buyers who know this method will be more easy to distinguish its brand platinum watches.
2, the preservation to gold watch
Compared to the Material than ordinary watches, gold watches are often expensive, but because of its preservation role, it often become the watch of choice for collectors.
Preserving the value of a gold watch, because the introduction of a commemorative limited edition watch, or a process with complex movement, or is versed in the art of watch when the big watch brands are precious metals like gold would be the preferred material . These watches often have a strong store of value, therefore, preserve and increase the reputation transfer gold watch.
Special attention:
1. Preservation is a relative term, it only proves strong liquidity gold watch. But second-hand gold watch gold watch with the new price will drop.
2. Gold content is a measure of the watch is not the only factor in preservation, not all gold watch has a hedge against inflation capacity.
3, the precious metal watch maintenance
1. Do not direct contact with chemicals such as bleach, hand sanitizer and so on.
2. Should be gently, and is independent of storage, because K gold material easily scratched due to friction and collisions.
3. Best to use non-abrasive cloth to remove fingerprints and hand smudges the surface, such as the wiping cloth of silver cloth or wipe glasses.
4. Should be some restraint wearing a gold watch, gold watch female models no more than 36mm, gold watch male models are fitted to 35 ~ 40mm is appropriate, the Sport can be slightly larger.
5. My watch there will inevitably be scratches, scratches that occur under normal circumstances, should be a rational treatment. Imprint left by the years it was not you care enough, do not care too much about.
