-
Made in Switzerland
Produced and assembled in Switzerland.
-
Mainspring
Flat coiled spring that powers all mechanical watches. This and the barrel make up the driving element of a movement . It stores and transmits the power force needed for its functioning.
-
Manual
A mechanical movement (v) in which winding is performed by hand. The motion transmitted from the user’s fingers to the crown is forwarded to the movement through the winding stem (s), from this to the barrel (s) through a series of gears (s) and finally to the mainspring (s).
-
Marine Chronometer
Highly accurate mechanical or electronic timekeeper enclosed in a box (hence the term box chronometer), used for determining the longitude on board ship. Marine chronometers with mechanical movements are mounted on gimbals so that they remain in the horizontal position necessary for their precision.
-
Markers
Elements printed or applied on the dial, sometimes luminous, used as reference points for the hands to indicate hours and fifteen- or five-minute intervals.
-
Mechanical Watches
Watch that stores the running power by means of a mainspring. The mainspring is either wound up manually in a handwinding watch or in an automatic watch by the swinging weight (Rotor) through the movement of the arm.
-
Micrometer Screw
Element positioned on the regulator, allowing to shift it by minimal and perfectly gauged ranges so as to obtain accurate regulations of the movement.
-
Micron
1/1000 mm or 0.00l millimetre used for instance to measure the thickness of gold plating.
-
Mineral Crystal
Mineral, mostly flat watch crystals. Mineral crystals are hardened after polishing and therefore less sensitive to scratches than plexi crystals.
-
Minute Repeater
see Repeater.
-
Module
Self-contained mechanism, independent of the basic caliber (s), added to the movement (s) to make an additional function available: chronograph (s.), power reserve (s.), GMT (s), perpetual or full calendar (s).
-
Moonphase
A function available in many watches, usually combined with calendar-related features. The moonphase disc advances one tooth every 24 hours. Normally, this wheel has 59 teeth and assures an almost perfect synchronization with the lunation period, i.e. 29.53 days (in fact, the disc shows the moonphases twice during a single revolution). However, the difference of 0.03 days, i.e. 44 minutes each month, implies the need for a manual adjustment every two and a half years to recover one day lost with respect to the real state of moonphase. In some rare case, the transmission ratio between the gears controlling the moonphase are calculated with extreme accuracy so as to require manual correction only once in 100 years.
-
Movement
The entire mechanism of a watch. Movements are divided into two great families: quartz and mechanical; the latter are available with manual (s) or automatic (s) winding devices.
