Summary
|
This watch has its following amongst collectors of Chinese mechanical watches. It features a Chinese version of a Swiss Venus chronograph design. None of the Asian movements are as good as their Swiss counterparts in our opinion. Regardless, they are interesting watches and fun to wear and collect, but we recommend that new collectors not overdue it with Asian watches and instead save their money for watches with Swiss, American, and German-made movements. Buy a few and enjoy them, some manufacturers are better than others. Their real Tourbillons are some of their most fascinating watches. Their chronographs are interesting but we highly recommend, for this watch, you go-easy on the chronograph buttons. We’ve seen a number of these with failed pushers and pusher mechanisms. You need to be gentler and easier than on any Swiss chronograph.

ClockSavant Watchmaker Testing, Certification, and Performance Measurement
All the watches we sell go through a comprehensive series of ClockSavant-developed functional, stability, and performance tests and are only approved for sale if they meet or exceed the criteria we have established. Performance measurements for this watch are provided below. See the Support page of our website for an explanation of watch performance measurements and guidance on interpretation. The watch performance values provided do not necessarily reflect the accuracy you will experience based on your unique watch wearing habits. You may experience a gain or loss by as much as approximately 1 minute per day with vintage watches.
Legend: Rate, Amplitude (Amp), and Beat Error (BE) are provided for Dial-Up (CH) and Dial-Down (FH) positions. Averages (Avg) are also provided. These represent the average performance of the watch across all 6 traditionally measured watch positions which, in addition to dial-up and dial-down, are the vertical positions of Crown-Up, Crown-Down, Crown-Left, and Crown-Right. Rate is expressed in seconds gained or lost during a 24 hour period. Amplitude is in degrees. Beat Error is in milliseconds. Lift Angle used in measurement is unique to the particular watch calibre.
