Greetings Fans, came to some thoughts about time keeping accuracy in vintage watches, but due to my limited knowledge in time science can not come to a conclusion: fact: watches were invented fact: they were mechanical movements, fact: like their modified contemporary relatives,old movements were not keeping accurate time, gaining or losing time per day question: in those times, due to what were the watch owners correcting their time? would appreciate your knowledge on this issue. |

Watches were invented a heck of a lot earlier than the late 1800s! Generally watches were checked against the town clock, and later against a watchmaker's regulator clock if there was a watchmaker around. |
