Review on Men's Charles 🕰️ Hubert Paris Mechanical Pocket Watches by Evan Burnside

First, accept that this is old technology. You can purchase a watch at your local drug store for $15 or less that is battery operated and will keep better time and withstand rougher treatment without damage. This is the technology behind my first watch, which I was told to wind very quickly. Be careful because if I wrap it too far it will break. And this one will be, as many have written here. The "crystal" is made of plastic and scratches easily. So I unpacked the watch, which has detailed instructions on how to wind it. I followed him closely and turned around very carefully after 25. Around 28 I felt more resistance and stopped. This is a hunting cover, which means there is a flip cover on the muzzle. It's a "semi-hunter," meaning there's a window in the center of the lid that lets you see the time without opening the lid. The watch is partially skeletonized which means you can see some of the mechanical work. Black hands are clearly visible through the window. The lid is embellished with a decorative embossing on the outer edge and large Roman numerals to make it easier to read the time without having to open the lid. The back is covered with a pattern similar to the front. The inside of the lid is marked with overlapping circular flourishes, sometimes referred to as "spikes". The inner dial is white with smaller Roman numerals. Accuracy? I compared this watch to a 130-year-old Waltham that my grandfather owned and a Chinese Elgin quartz case that my daughter gave me after she graduated from college 19 years ago. Waltham usually lives in a glass dome on top of a bookshelf and has been lit about once every few years since my dad gave it to me 40 years ago. When I first received it, it was cleaned and oiled by a local watch technician. I set the time for each of them with a backlit Casio radio controlled wristwatch. With two mechanical watches, it was difficult to set the exact second - the second hand would not stop when the stem was pulled out to set the time. So at the start of the testing period, I noted how many seconds each was off the Casio, and then left them upright on the shelf. I soon learned that the Waltham had to be wound twice a day, so it wasn't run continuously during the seven-day observation period. However, it was six and a half minutes slower this morning, according to Casio. Elgin was right about the money. Charles-Hubert was 5 minutes faster. To my surprise, when the second hand stood at 12, the minute hand lined up exactly with the minute marker on the dial. This often does not work with much more expensive watches. Five minutes in seven days? Do you really need more than that? As you wind them up every day, you'll also tune them into your phone, the weather/news TV channel, or just about anything that's going on in the world around us. case by gently closing the case and putting it back in your pocket. This watch is a welcome change from the split-second obsession with time that surrounds us everywhere.
