Mechanical watchmaking is at the intersection of industrial and luxury goods. It has a unique and innovative way. For mechanical watchmaking, the biggest paradox is that internal demand to continue moving forward and loyalty conflicts between tradition since the past centuries. Gear train, lever escapement, balance-spring with automatic winding and a variety of display functions have been brought in between 1450 to 1800, and gradually perfect the final and stabilized in the 1960s. However, the same as with any other industry, mechanical watchmaking also need to continue to explore new ways of development, in order to avoid sudden disruptive innovations (such as the advent of battery-powered quartz movement) interrupted development.
   Compared with the real industrial giants, most watchmaking brands are like dwarfs-the annual average turnover of all Swiss watchmaking brands cannot be combined with the separate Volkswagen automobiles or Dupont pharmaceuticals ) par. Innovation is expensive, especially the full range of innovative, but do not expect these will not get returns from research and development efforts. Thus, the mechanical watchmaking still draw inspiration through various channels, adjust or amend carve out their own path forward.

   Great watchmakers of the 18th century, such as Breguet, Berthoud Graham and so on – they are usually mathematician, astronomer and locksmith, control of multiple skills, good at design timer, locks, thermometers and other measuring instruments. However, over the years, these major players in the industry, or limited to a geographic distances or lack of means of communication or to turn off Swiss Valley snow hindered, openness and communication related to survival.

Richard Miller’s application of ultra-lightweight aluminum-lithium alloys, carbon nanotubes, HYT’s super-hard macromolecules, and various carbon fiber materials all confirm this.
   It should be noted that just a decade ago, watchmakers were keen to point out the differences between themselves and their colleagues in engineering, and many of them considered clocks to be unique and exclusive. Now that all obstacles and taboos have finally collapsed, the mechanical watch industry is enthusiastically open to embrace the introduction of new materials.
