A quartz watch consists of an electronic circuit driven by a battery. The energy of the battery is used to vibrate a quartz oscillator and thus to operate the watch. Because of its electronic nature, the quartz movement is the most precise in watchmaking.
A mechanical watch is powered by the energy stored in a spring in the watch movement. Mechanical watches from Col&MacArthur are self-winding. This means that they are recharged by the movement of an oscillating weight when the watch is worn. Col&MacArthur watches have a power reserve of approximately 36 hours. After this period without being worn, the watch must be manually wound thanks to the winding stem.
The leather and Milanese mesh strap can be adjusted at a watchmaker, who has the right equipment, or directly at the Col&MacArthur workshop. Please do not hesitate to contact us if necessary, by phone at +32 460 22 67 87 or by e-mail at contact@cmarthur.com, or via the online chat or the “Contact us” tab.
If you are manual, it is however possible to perform this task on your own, thanks to the explanatory videos at your disposal.
Indeed, for this type of strap, the Col&MacArthur team offers a premium service to adjust the strap to your wrist before sending the watch. You will receive an e-mail as soon as you place your order on our official website.
In addition, upon receipt of your order, the watch is provided with additional mesh. Thus, the metal mesh strap can also be modified later. At a watchmaker, who has the right equipment or directly at the Col&MacArthur workshop. Please do not hesitate to contact us if necessary, by phone at +32 460 22 67 87 or by e-mail at contact@cmarthur.com, or via the online chat or the “Contact us” tab.
Quartz watches require a simple battery check every 2 to 3 years.
For mechanical watches, full maintenance is required every 3 years. It is also advisable to wind the watches regularly in order to activate the mechanism.
Quartz watches are water-resistant up to 5 atmospheres, meaning they can withstand depths of up to 50 meters. However, exposure to saltwater is not recommended. Diving is also discouraged, as the dynamic pressure from water impact can affect certain seals, potentially compromising the watch's integrity. To ensure water resistance, it is essential that the crown is properly pushed in and must never be operated underwater.
Regarding mechanical watches, they are water-resistant up to 10 atmospheres, which equates to depths of up to 100 meters. However, exposure to saltwater is still not recommended. Diving is also discouraged, as the dynamic pressure from water impact can affect certain seals, potentially compromising the watch’s integrity. To ensure water resistance, it is essential that the crown is properly pushed in and must never be operated underwater.
Watches can be used for sports activities. Nevertheless, sudden movements and shocks should be avoided.
All our watches are quality timepieces and are designed with the greatest care. However, it is essential to treat them as delicate jewellery. We recommend that you do not expose them to water, such as bath water, swimming pool water or sea water.
Water can damage the internal components and alter the beauty of your watch. To preserve their quality and elegance, we advise you to keep them away from water.
There is an average running time only for mechanical watches, this one is 38 hours. The average running time of Col&MacArthur watches indicates how long the watch remains functional without being worn. After this delay, the watch must be manually wound.
If you are prone to allergic reactions, contact the Col&MacArthur team, they will be happy to answer your questions.
The tolerance varies depending on the models and the type of watch you want to purchase.
Our quartz watches are more accurate than our mechanical watches. These contain within them a quartz which, under tension, vibrates at 35 kHz. The role of this crystal is to electronically process pulses on a regular basis. The accuracy of our quartz watches is -10 to +20 seconds per month.
These movements require regular maintenance in order to maintain increased tolerance. The accuracy of automatic mechanical watches is + or - 20 seconds per day. If you want more information about a particular model, you can directly download the datasheet of a watch in the « Technical description » tab on each of the product pages.
If you still have questions, you can contact the team by phone at +32 460 22 67 87 or by e-mail at contact@cmarthur.com, or via the online chat or via the “Contact us” tab.

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently" - Henry Ford

Data sheet
Our era has brought us lots of challenges... In a short period of time we understood the climate emergency, we went through the health crisis, the war in Ukraine happened...
An event that particularly marked us in 2020 was the COVID-19 crisis.All our codes and certainties were turned upside down, leaving us with the fear of the unknown in front of a situation that we thought was unimaginable. A situation that seemed insurmountable because it was so unreal. This was without considering the ability to recover that Man can show when he meets serious challenges.His ability to overcome traumatic shocks. His RESILIENCE.
The dial, created in collaboration with NOIR Artist, represents a fragmented Earth, repaired using the ancestral Japanese method of Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi.
Since the dawn of time, some men destroy while others seek to repair. Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi is a Japanese spiritual art dating back to the 16th century which consists in repairing porcelain or ceramic objects by highlighting the scars with gold powder. The philosophy behind this art is simple: accept imperfection as a vector of beauty. Accepting that being imperfect is part of our history, that breaks are not necessarily weaknesses.Objects repaired through the use of Kintsugi are not only more beautiful, but also more resistant than they were in the beginning.
NOIR Artist is a duo composed of two brothers from Liège (Belgium): Lucien and Martin Gilson.Their philosophy is simple, they are for "a society that strives to be more positive, more respectful of man in general, and young people in particular.NOIR Artist designed the work"Global Resilience", which was an inspiration for our collection. It is a message of hope for all humanity.The pieces are put back together using the Kintsugi method, allowing the earth to accept its scars and be proud of them.Proud to have overcome this ordeal. Proud to have grown out of it.
These are challenging times. In a short space of time, we have become aware of the climate emergency, we have lived through the health crisis, conflicts are breaking out...
