What are the choices for watch mirrors in terms of materials? Now we can be divided into three categories: acrylic watch mirror, extra hard ore watch mirror, sapphire watch mirror, and so on. Acrylic watch mirrors are also called "safety glass" because they are elastic and not easy to break, and are mostly used in retro-style watches. Extra hard ore crystal, high hardness, not easy to be scratched. Ore mirrors are the most common mirror materials and are widely used in the watch industry. Sapphire crystal means that its density and hardness are equivalent to sapphire. It is a synthetic material with extremely high density. Its hardness is second only to that of diamonds. class).
What are the options for watch mirrors in terms of price? The price of acrylic watch mirrors is relatively cheap, the price of extra-hard ore watch mirrors is moderate, and sapphire watch mirrors are mostly used in high-end Swiss watches, and the price is higher. If the mirror surface has a curvature, the price will be higher.
The above describes the options for the watch mirror, so how do we distinguish the material of the watch mirror, such as acrylic glass, when looking at the watch from the side, the watch glass protrudes a layer, which is more common in old Shanghai watches. Take a sigh of relief on the mirror, and the sapphire glass will quickly disperse the fog; you can also drop a drop of water on the sapphire mirror, which is not easy to spread on it, while other materials will be scattered.
