Downsized Watch Movements Have Led to Big Changes
Automatic movements, which harness the wearer's movements to wind a watch, have been one of the greatest developments in watchmaking. But even as they improved a watch's power reserve, the mechanism required a bulky case. Recently that has changed, with the development of scaled-down automatic movements from brands such as Bulgari, Chopard, Piaget, Grand Seiko and Vacheron Constantin that can be tucked inside substantially smaller watches, the sizes that traditionally were produced for women but recently have become popular with men, too. Bulgari's BVS100 is the latest, and has one of the smallest of these movements. The company's watch division, which specializes in ultrathin movements, introduced it in February in the previously all-quartz Serpenti collection, noting it was time to offer an option that would upgrade the collection. 'In a certain price bracket, starting at around $5,000, people are not buying time or just a nice watch,' said Jean-Christophe Babin, Bulgari's chief executive. 'They're buying craftsmanship, artisanship, authenticity and that means mechanical movements. Men don't even consider quartz anymore. And now we see the same trend with women. 'Think of it this way: Why would a jewelry watch that is sold anywhere between $8,000 and $800,000 and takes anywhere between 400 to 3,000 hours of manual work to create, have a $15 quartz movement?' While it seems logical that switching from a quartz battery to an automatic movement would produce a considerable increase in price, the cost difference actually is minimal because there are so many other factors affecting the price of a luxury watch: case material, diamond application, finish and more.
