“A watch is a work of art; its heart is the caliber.”
Coming from a technical education background and having spent my professional life working in related fields, I realize that my fascination with watch mechanisms is shaped by these past experiences. Behind every mechanical watch lies an unseen world that fills each second with life. That’s why, at Ticking Times, we’re embarking on a new journey to explore this world together: Watch Calibers.
In this category, we’ll take a closer look at the movements that do more than just tell time—they make us feel it. From ETA to Miyota, Seiko to La Joux-Perret, you’ll find clear, accessible, yet in-depth articles about a wide variety of mechanical and automatic calibers.
Each post will offer not only technical knowledge but also the cultural and historical significance behind these mechanisms. What does a caliber represent? What spirit does each brand carry?
We believe time doesn’t just pass—it has character. And that character is shaped by the heart inside the watch: its caliber.
Join us on this journey. Because to truly understand the rhythm of time, you have to feel its heart.
