Solar Watches
A Solar Watch is a watch that moves by converting light energy into electronic energy. Light energy received by a solar cell (solar cell unit under the dial) is converted into electronic energy. The energy is stored in the rechargeable battery and is used to move the watch.
These watches usually have a capacitor inside, which is not your typical battery. This one can be recharged and can last for 10 years. Do not try to replace a capacitor with a regular watch battery as that can damage the watch.
We have various vintage and pre-woned solar watches for brands like Junghans, Citizen, Seiko, Casio & more so make sure to check them out.
Junghans Watches
Junghans Uhren GmbH is a German watch and clock manufacturer. Junghans had the largest watch and clock factory with over 3000 employees in the year 1903. The company is located in the district of Rottweil, in a town called Schramberg, Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany.
In 1962 Bill also created mechanical wristwatches for Junghans. They were the official timekeeper for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.
In the late 1980s, Junghans introduced the first radio-controlled table clock on the world market. In 1990 the first radio-controlled wristwatch, called the MEGA 1, followed. In 1995 Junghans presented a solar-powered watch with ceramic housing. Together with the Japanese clockmaker Seiko, Junghans developed a globally-oriented wristwatch that automatically sets the local time in respective time zones.
About mechanical and automatic watches
A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a clockwork mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to quartz watches which function electronically, with the help of a small battery.
A mechanical watch is driven by a mainspring which must be hand-wound periodically. Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power balance, a weighted wheel that oscillates back and forth at a constant rate. A device called an escapement releases the watch's wheels to move forward a small amount with each swing of the balance wheel, moving the watch's hands forward at a constant rate.
An automatic watch has a self-winding movement that is powered by the motions of the wearer during use. This means, while it is classed as a mechanical watch, it does not require manual winding. The majority of mechanical watches produced today have automatic movements.
Mechanical watches are classic vintage pieces, beautiful displays of minimalism and old-school features. Some of the most elegant mechanical watches, for true vintage enthusiasts, are now available in our vintage mechanical watch collection.
