About / FAQ

• Mechanical watch : Powered by a complex movement of springs and gears, it embodies watchmaking tradition. Our mechanical models, such as the Heritage series, offer handcrafted precision and timeless charm.

• Quartz watch : Powered by a battery and a quartz oscillator, it is ultra-precise and requires little maintenance. Perfect for everyday style, like our Urban Pulse collection.

At Remake World, we offer both technologies to suit your lifestyle.

• Cleaning : Use a slightly damp microfiber cloth for the case and bracelet (avoid water if not waterproof).

• Waterproofing : Check the seals regularly, especially for our AquaSport models.

• Winding (mechanical): Wear it regularly or use a winder for automatic models.

Our watches are designed to last – simple care ensures their brilliance for years to come.

High-end watches justify their price with tangible elements, and at Remake World , we capture the essence of that without the premium brands:

• Demanding mechanisms : A mechanical movement assembles up to 200 parts, requiring meticulous adjustment.

• Durable materials : Hypoallergenic 316L steel, scratch-resistant sapphire glass (2.5x harder than mineral), vegetable-tanned Italian leather – standards we apply from our entry-level collections.

• Limited production : Unlike the giant watchmakers, our series like Aurora are produced in small quantities, guaranteeing exclusivity and quality control.

Our philosophy? To offer the soul of Swiss watchmaking at a transparent price, without paying for the "name".

A mechanical watch is a watch that operates without a battery, powered solely by a complex movement of gears, springs, and cogs. It is distinguished by two types:

• Manual : It is wound manually via the crown to store energy in its mainspring.

• Automatic (or self-winding) : A rotor inside the case winds the movement using the natural movements of the wrist.

Unlike a quartz watch (powered by a battery), a mechanical watch embodies traditional watchmaking craftsmanship, with components assembled and adjusted by hand for lasting accuracy.

At Remake World , our mechanical models combine this ancestral Japanese know-how with a contemporary design, for timepieces as unique as their owner.

A quartz watch is a battery-powered watch that uses the vibrations of a small quartz crystal to keep time with high accuracy.

How does it work?

1. The battery sends an electric current to the quartz crystal.

2. The quartz vibrates ( 21,600 times per second!), creating an ultra-precise signal.

3. The electronic circuit transforms these vibrations into regular pulses to move the hands (or display the time on a digital screen).

Why choose a quartz watch?

Accuracy : It only loses a few seconds per month, compared to a few seconds per day for a mechanical watch. Easy maintenance : No winding required, just a new battery every 2-3 years.

Sturdy and lightweight : Perfect for worry-free everyday use.

At Remake World , our quartz watches, like the Essential collection, combine reliability and style, for those looking for an elegant and uncomplicated watch.

Are you hesitating between an automatic watch and a quartz watch ? Don't panic, here's how to decide in 3 questions:

1. Do you prefer tradition or practice?

• Automatic : For those passionate about mechanics!

  • ➔ Works without batteries, thanks to the movements of your wrist.

  • ➔ Often sophisticated design (open dial, transparent background).

  • ⚠️ Requires regular wear or a winder.

• Quartz : For those who want to "forget" their watch.

  • ➔ Ultra-precise, low maintenance (just a battery every 2-3 years).

  • ➔ Lightweight and shock-resistant.

2. What is your budget?

• Automatic watches (like our Heritage collection) have a higher cost (complex movement).

• Quartz watches (like the Essential line) are often more affordable.

3. For what purpose?

• Daily/Active → Quartz (resistant, no winding required).

• Events/Watchmaking pleasure → Automatic (unique piece, vintage charm).

Our Remake World recommendation :

Start with a quartz watch if you're a beginner, then explore our automatic watches to experience the thrill of mechanics!
