When you are about to buy a new watch the first question you face is which one should you buy: quartz or automatic watch?

While most people have heard of the terms “quartz” and “automatic” about watches, not everyone is clear about what they mean or how they influence the functioning of a watch.

Quartz watches are watches with electronic machinery whose movements are derived from the vibrations of a quartz crystal.

This crystal has an electrical current generated by a battery and this is how the quartz movement is powered. Quartz has a property called “PiezoElectricity”. Its main characteristic is that it vibrates or oscillates when it is crossed by an electric current of alternating type.

It is also true that you will find watches that combine “digital quartz” machinery. They are analogical-digital. That is, they are quartz watches that usually have either a digital function or show another time digitally.

Advantages of Quartz Clocks

• They are more accurate than automatic watches
• They are generally cheaper compared to the same range of automatic
• They are lighter

The disadvantages of Quartz Clocks are the following

• They need a battery that, depending on the brand, will run out in a shorter or longer time (at least 1 year)
• Once the spare parts are sold out and out of production your solution is more complicated
• The maintenance costs are higher in the long run because with the battery replacement if you want to keep the water tightness, you will have to change the seals and make the water tightness test for every battery change
• If you want to keep your watch because you don’t use it, you will have to remove the battery, because in time the battery will end up getting sulfated and spoiling the watch
• They pollute more than automatic watches because they require a battery that must be recycled.

An automatic watch is a watch with a mechanical movement that, thanks to its technical complexity, can wind itself up thanks to a rotor that turns around a pivot and acts on the spring loading mechanism. While it is true that mechanical watches can be passed on from generation to generation, they require more thorough care, which is why they usually need to be serviced by a specialist every five years or so. The workmanship for this adjustment must be professional to ensure its performance and the components for the spare parts are of high quality. This combination means that maintenance will increase costs. 

The main handicap of automatic watches is that their technology is inferior, not in keeping with the times, never better. Normally, aesthetics aside, when you buy a watch you do so because you want it to tell the right time, and mechanical watches are less accurate than quartz watches in this sense.

But automatic watches also have their appeal, as they remind us of the genuine art of the master watchmakers. This is why fans of the most purist watches tend to prefer this type because of the complexity of its mechanism. In a way, it is as if it were a living being what you wear on your wrist. And yes, it does reduce its performance over time, but don’t we all? As you can see, it is a more personal relationship between watch and person, not so much a compliment and an owner. True watch lovers appreciate the character and interest that an automatic watch represents.…

Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro

Crafted in Nicaragua by a well-respected cigar family with Cuban heritage, the Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro is one of the most fine-tasting, full-bodied cigars someone will ever have a puff of. Richer than the 1964 Natural, the Anniversary Maduro offers a tapestry of flavors with cocoa, hazelnut, and coffee bean specks.

Davidoff Yamasa

This controversial cigar gets its names from a rich background history. It gets its name from the Yamasa region, one of the most challenging areas to grow tobacco in the Dominican Republic.

After a series of trials, the result of this classy cigar features earthy, woody flavors balanced by traces of cocoa powder sweetness and a toasty quality—all wrapped up in a binder from San Vicente.

Arturo Fuente Hemingway

The Hemmingway cigar line is a flavorful series of handcrafted creations from Carlos Fuente. Each cigar in the Hemmingway lineup is aged for up to six months in cedar lined rooms to create the spicy, toasty, medium-bodied flavor synonymous with the Fuente family name. The dark toothy wrapper leaf adds woody notes with hints of sweet leather and cedar. The result is an elegant, balanced, medium-bodied cigar that just anyone should try.

 Placencia 1865 Alma Fuerte

It comes with hearty all-Nicaraguan oily wrappers and long-fillers, a combination that gives the 1865 Alma Fuerte a rich, bold blend with hints of spice, leather, and cocoa. It also burns evenly, with a nice minerality at the finish.

Small-batch, well-crafted, and genuinely unique taste, the 1865 Alma Fuerte is a winner in every aspect.

Viaje Exclusivo Leaded

Yet another cigar with Nicaraguan tobacco, the Viaje Exclusivo Leaded, is a flavor-bomb. A full-bodied blend flavor features some Ligeros and Medio Tempo Tobacco wrapped in an oily Criollo ‘98 leaf. 

Ashton Classic

The Ashton Classic is all about robust flavor, consistency, and superb construction. Prelit, it smells of butter and graham cracker with a little grassiness to it. When lit, it fills the air with mild notes of espresso, oak, cedar, toasted almond, and subtle pepper and cinnamon notes.

One of the best things about the Ashton classic is that it doesn’t bombard palate with all the flavors at once. Instead, it slowly releases each flavor as it burns to give ample time to savor every note.

 Avo Classic

The Avo Classic is an expertly constructed cigar made with the finest of premium Dominican long-filler leaves and a silky Connecticut Shade wrapper. This dynamic combination results in a creamy, smooth-tasting cigar with a beautiful aroma.
