Meet The SubMeloner: Your Perfect Poolside and Deep Blue Companion
I began building watches last year, mainly for myself. Recently, I assembled one that drew inspiration from the color scheme at our brick-and-mortar (and also resembled the summer fruit that gave it its name) and is unique and beautiful enough to share with all of you. Just like the one in the photos, your watch will be assembled by me in the watchbuilding section that's taken over half of my office.

Understanding Mechanical/Automatic Watches vs. Quartz Watches
What is a Mechanical/Automatic Watch?
Mechanical watches, including automatic watches like this one, are timepieces powered by a complex series of gears and springs. Unlike quartz watches, which use a battery, mechanical watches rely on the mechanical movement of their parts to keep time.
Mechanical Watches: These watches need to be manually wound by turning the crown. The mainspring stores energy, which is gradually released to power the watch.
Automatic Watches: Also known as self-winding watches, they harness the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist to wind the mainspring. This means you don’t need to wind them manually if you wear them regularly.
What is a Quartz Watch?
Quartz watches are powered by a battery and use a small piece of quartz crystal to keep time. The battery sends an electrical current through the crystal, causing it to vibrate at a precise frequency. These vibrations are converted into regular pulses, which move the watch hands.
Key Differences:
Power Source:
Mechanical/Automatic: Powered by a mainspring and gears.
Quartz: Powered by a battery.
Movement:
Mechanical/Automatic: The second hand moves in a smooth, sweeping motion.
Quartz: The second hand moves in individual ticks.
Maintenance:
Automatic: If worn consistently, the motion of your wrist will load the spring and keep it running. May need occasional servicing.
Quartz: Battery needs to be replaced periodically.
Accuracy:
Mechanical/Automatic: Slightly less accurate, with minor variations in timekeeping due to mechanical parts.
Quartz: Highly accurate, with minimal deviation over time.
Why Choose a Mechanical/Automatic Watch?
Mechanical and automatic watches are often chosen for their craftsmanship, heritage, and the intricate engineering involved in their creation. They offer a tangible connection to the tradition of watchmaking and are valued by enthusiasts for their beauty and the skill required to make them.
