Quartz

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.

Mechanical

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.

Leather and Milanese mesh

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.

Metal mesh

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

Quartz watches require a simple battery check every 2 to 3 years.

Mechanical

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

Quartz watches have a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, that is to say they are waterproof up to 50 meters deep. However, salt water is not recommended.

Mechanical

For mechanical watches, they have a water resistance of 10 atmospheres (static pressure). The latter are thus waterproof up to 100 meters of depth. Nevertheless, salt water is not recommended.

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.

Quartz

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.

Mechanical

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.

The models we offer are unisex and vary between 38 and 43 mm in diameter. For each of our models you have the possibility to choose the type of strap and the diameter of the watch. In short, there is something for everyone.

CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY

This collector's item comes with two certificates of authenticity:

Certificate of authenticity for the Berlin Wall fragment and certificate of authenticity for the guitar string from a Scorpions guitar, used to play "Wind of Change" on their last tour.

DESIGN

A unique design inspired by history and the musical legacy of the iconic band Scorpions. Crafted in collaboration with the band, each timepiece seamlessly merges power and elegance, capturing the essence of change through symbolic details. This collection embodies the spirit of a bygone era and the enduring power of music.

THE STORY OF THE INLAID BERLIN WALL FRAGMENT AND GUITAR STRING PIECE

The authentic piece of wall encapsulated in the "Wind of Change" watch comes from the Berlin Wall, the symbol of the Cold War and the division of Germany. On the watch, the fragment of the wall is located to the east of the watch, in a space of 28 seconds, like the 28 years that separated Berlin. Each watch is made from a unique cutout in the wall - the result is singular each time, making each a unique piece.

The piece of guitar string comes from one of the Scorpions' guitars, used on their last tour in 2023 to play the song "Wind of Change", which became the anthem of the fall of the Wall. The strings were collected after concerts, and meticulously encapsulated in each automatic timepiece, at 3 o'clock

A string resonating with the rockers' chords—a lively, rich, profoundly felt “Wind of Change“ that brings you a bit closer to the band and the historic date of November 9 1989.
