Common Watch Questions
Question : What is a homage watch?

Answer : A homage watch is simply a watch that closely resembles another watch usually of higher value and importance. It is not a replica watch though. Many watch brands produce watches that may have hints or cues from iconic watches but they are not considered replica watches in any way. The same thing happens in the car industry. For example, a Chrysler 300 grill might resemble a Bentley grill.

The main component of a mechanical movement is the mainspring, a spring that gradually unwinds and transmits energy. A mechanical watch will keep accurate time despite requiring winding up if it's manual. ... Inside an automatic watch sits a small weighted rotor that has to oscillate in order to wind the mainspring.
