Product technology

Based on the timekeeping technology, three main types of clocks can be

distinguished:

• 
  mechanical clocks, which can in turn be divided into those powered
  
  manually (by winding) and those powered automatically;
  


• 
  quartz clocks, where the passage of time is measured using the
  
  oscillations of a quartz crystal;
  


• 
  clocks with complex movement mechanisms, such as those with functions
  
  beyond indicating hours and minutes (e.g. the exact date even in leap
  
  years, lunar cycles and stopwatch functions). The most difficult
  
  mechanisms to produce include minute repeaters (tones that signal each
  
  minute) and the tourbillon (an additional mechanism used to regulate
  
  the timekeeping device to counter the effects of gravity).
  


• 
  Based on the time display, there are two main types of clocks:
  


• 
  Analog clocks, where two hands move above a dial with a circular scale
  
  used to indicate hours, minutes and seconds. The hands generally, but
  
  not always, share a common axis. Chronograph watches often have
  
  smaller dials set within the main dial.
  


• 
  Digital clocks, normally with a liquid crystal display (LCD) that
  
  shows the precise time.
  


• 
  Function:
  


• 
  watches: beyond the original function of telling time, watches have
  
  increasingly become showpieces, status symbols, sometimes even
  
  investments (for the most prestigious products) and fashion
  
  accessories (for the more accessibly priced products);
  


• 
  clocks: beyond telling time, clocks also function as home furniture
  
  pieces.
  


• 
  Client categories:
  


• 
  intermediate clients: the various types of retailers of watches, table
  
  clocks, wall clocks and longcase clocks, including jewellery shops,
  
  supermarkets, clothing shops, department stores, sporting goods
  
  stores, furniture stores and objets d’art specialty shops;
  


• 
  end clients, i.e. consumers, which can be subdivided based on age, sex
  
  or lifestyle.
