1:50 : *I. Basic Watch Terminology* One 1:55 - *Case* : The overall body of the watch. Houses the movement and other elements. Two 2:00 - *Case Back* : Faces and keeps contact with the wrist. Can be opened to expose the Three 2:17 - *Exhibition Case Back* : Transparent case back. Allows for the viewing the movement / rotor for automatic watches. Four - 2:23 - *Thickness* : measure of Case back to top of the crystal. Five - 2:42 - *Lugs* : Protrusions from the case that allow for the strap / bracelet to attach. Six - 2:57 - *Lug Width* : distance between lugs on the same side of the watch. Must know your lug width when swapping out straps. Seven - 3:13 - *Integrated Bracelets* : no lugs no strap options. The bracelet connects to the case with limited removeablility. Eight - 3:31 - *Strap* : the continuous (no links) leather / rubber / fabric band that fixes watch to the wrist. Nine - 3:45 - *Deployant Buckle* : used on higher end straps to fasten the watch - Not the more commonplace "belt"-buckle found on most. Ten - 4:22 - *Bracelet* : metallic band that uses links to wrap around the wrist. The links need to be removed or added to fit properly to the wearer. Eleven - 4:33 - *Clasp* : the buckle used for a bracelet. Allows you to open and close to affix and remove the watch. Some clasps have extensions built into them to allow for being worn over wet suits (for divers) Twelve - 4:47 - *Lug-to-Lug* : Overall vertical distance of a watch, lug-tip to lug-tip. Thirteen - 5:17 - *Crystal* : the transparent material that protects the face of the watch and allows for viewing the face, dial, and components. Crystal materials can be plexiglas, acrylic, sapphire, and others. Fourteen- 5:35 - *Bezel* : Ring around the crystal. There's tremendous variance in the functionality and utility of the bezel. Fifteen - 5:50 - *Bezel insert* : The inlay track on the bezel - containing markings and numerals, depending on functionality. Sixteen - 6:06 - *Crown* : Usually placed at 3 O'clock. Allows you to adjust the time and date by pulling out at different levels. Seventeen - 6:23 - *Pushers* : Located above and below the crown. Allow for control of other complications that may be present. Eighteen - 6:41 - *Dial* - The central plate that shows the numerals, complications, and is what the hands rotate over. Nineteen - 6:57 - *Hands* - They show the time longer for the minute, shorter for the hour. Twenty - 7:17 - *Water Resistance* : rate of pressure the watch can sustain. *II. Movement Terminology* Twenty One - 7:74 - *Movement / Caliber* - the mechanical element-set of the watch that tracks time. The movement can be quarts, manual, automatic, or something altogether different. Quartz is far away the most common - using the vibrations of a quartz crystal to power the movement. Quarts requires the replacement of a battery. *Mechanic* on the other hand, doesn't require a battery but instead houses an elaborate set of springs and gears to hold power. Mechanical comes in manual or automatic: Twenty Two - 8:53 - *Manual* AKA hand winding movements. Rotate the crown to power the watch. Twenty Three - 9:05 - *Automatic* uses a rotatory plate (rotor) to wind a main spring. Many automatic movements can be wound via the crown as well. Twenty Four - 9:30 - *Rotor / Oscillating Weight* - ball-bearing plate that moves as you wear it to wind the mainspring. Twenty Five - 9:42 - *Power Reserve* - The duration of time the watch will continue to keep the time without being wound. Twenty Six - 9:55 - *Jewels* - precious stones used in hi wear areas of a watch placed in high tension areas to resist wear and tear. Twenty Seven - 10:02 - *Hacking* - "stop seconds" The movement will stop at the farthest out position, this helps keep more precise time. Twenty Eight - 10:24 - *Base Plate / Main Plate* - the main plate on which components of the movement will sit. Twenty Nine - 10:35 - *Bridges* - Structural components that support other elements screwed to the main plate. Thirty - 10:43 - *Mainspring* - a large spring, that stores the energy powering the movement. It is wound the by crown, rotor plate. It will release stored energy down a gear train, powering the watch. Thirty One - 11:10 - *Gear Train* - the backbone of the movement. Takes energy from the mainspring and to the escapement wheel. Thirty two - 11:26 - *Escapement Wheel* - Takes energy from gear train. Thirty Three - - *Palet Fork* - Thirty Four - - *Balance Wheel* - Thirty Five - - *Palet Fork* Thirty Six - - *Hair spring aka Balance spring* - Thirty seven- 12:41 - *Coaxial Escapement* *III. Complications* *IV. Finishing Terminology*

Just want to really emphasise this is a very well made video. Teddy (and his team) took the time to have a shot for nearly every thing he discussed, which was often a different watch. Filming watches is hard so let's recognise this amazing effort and brilliant video-making. We saw 26 minutes but believe me when I say this must have taken 30+ hours to film and edit.

@@kaisoerfjord6794 I believe you are too hard on Teddy. I have learned a lot about watches from him--such as the watch terms mentioned in this video. I understand he is a dealer. He is taking the high road of educating the customer rather than the lower road of using high-pressure sales techniques. Why would he invest the time, expense and effort to make these videos if he didn't feel it was in his enlightened self-interest? I notice he brings together other watch experts and often discusses watch brands he doesn't sell. As with any source, we evaluate him and his information. In my opinion, he rates high marks as a source and his information is not only truthful but helpful to those like myself who want to learn more about watches.

A video done beautifully and meticulously. Flawless, clear. Very useful with pleasant animations. Cool yet professional feel. Love it Teddy !!!

Probably going to have to watch this again. Even at 26 min; it is short and to the point, thank you for that!!! But a TON of information. Just purchased my first of many watches from you last week. Feel like I have falling down a rabbit hole of new fun!!!

Have always been wondering about all these terms. Glad to have all these terminologies being compiled into a single video for beginners like me. Much appreciated!

When i'm just starting my interest in watches and you post this! Thankyou for the lesson!

Awesome video Teddy! I can look them over and over and never get tired..

Thank you! I needed this excellent broad sweep of definitions! Nice job.

This is one of the most complete videos I saw about horology. Congratulations. Great job!

Very precisely worded, with brief acknowledgments of the exceptions and conditions that I'm aware of. In other words, essentially perfect. Well done !!

You are the best Teddy at giving in-depth knowledge for watches, the community greatly appreciate your work. Thanks

Thank you so much for all the info! As someone that’s just starting to learn, you help a lot with understanding the basics, and more. So thanks you ❤

I keep coming back to this video, and just feel so enamoured by the complexities that go into time-keeping. Teddy, thank you for teaching us all so much about these beautiful objects, and helping me personally start to see and understand the sheer beauty of watches❤️

This was awesome Teddy! Very informative and comprehensive. Learned me some French today ;)

Loved every minute of this video, going to re watch the movement and finishing section, learned a lot!!! Thanks Teddy

Thank you. The detail is amazing. I am new to this, but I am hooked.

So helpful - I really needed someone to step thru all of these terms - thanks

Hi Teddy! Came across your video as I am getting into watches for the first time. Thank you for this!

All your videos are excellent Teddy, I really like your content. You are a true watch enthusiast, who covers all price brackets of the industry (thus showcasing that watches do not have to be an elitists’ hobby) all types of watches and is passionate enough to spend the time and explain all the “less marketable” aspects of the industry - this video being a clear testament to that. I would also really like to hear your opinion about watch brands - not so much about hearing how everyone is doing an excellent job, but rather a well balanced critique about strengths, weaknesses, approach etc. for similar price brackets I.e. Omega vs Rolex vs IWC vs Breitling vs JLC etc for under €7,000. Who do you think offers the best product, what would you spend your money on etc.

This is a solid effort Teddy and a very valuable resource. Thanks heaps.

I didn’t know beforehand but I needed to see this video. As always thanks for the great content!

Fantastic work. You never fail in proving us well videos with great content. Thanks Teddy!

Welcome to the hobby! I'm a few months in and I found an older (June 2018) video Teddy did titled "Stop buying so many affordable watches" really helpful. His theme was the tempation to buy a number of watches in what is called the "affordable" range can get in the way of saving up for a more expensive watch you may really want that costs more. For me, that is the hardest part - the balance between "scratching the itch" and holding out for the more expensive watch you may really want. The terms "affordable" and "expensive" are, of course, subjective and only relevant in terms of your budget, etc. What matters is getting what you enjoy.

Hi teddy, this is an amazing video for a beginner watch collector, definitely learnt a lot here... thank you for posting some great content..

What an incredible resource. Nicely done. The only thing I can think of to add would have been defining what makes a 'chronometer' (COSC) and 'regulating' a watch and how that is measured typically in +/- 'spd'.

Excellent mini-course on horology. Well done!

Great comprehensive video. A couple of things I noticed that could also be here: some watches have a 4th hand showing the week of the year. There’s a 1-52 scale usually at the outer edge of the dial. Also the numerals, hour markers, logo etc. can be either printed or applied. Most watches are also have luminova applied to their hands and/or markers.

Learned a lot here - thanks for posting this!
