It should be no surprise the here at Crown & Caliber we love watches. From the most exclusive watches to quirky quartz watches we love them all. Sometimes we get so inundated in watches we can forget most people don't spend their day working with and around these fascinating instruments so we thought we’d create a How a Watch Works | 101 - The Basics.
