Introducing the DomeDweller – ⚜️ "Super" Edition 🖤
I began building watches last year, starting with pieces for myself. Recently, I designed one inspired by the timeless combination of black and gold, paying subtle homage to a legacy of greatness. The DomeDweller is bold, sleek, and powerful—built for those who demand sophistication and performance in everything they do. Hand-assembled by me in the watchmaking corner of my office, each DomeDweller is a testament to precision and style. The colorway is a nod to the sometimes-pride of New Orleans, as well as my alma mater, the University of Missouri. 40mm version pictured on 7.25" wrist, for reference!

Understanding Mechanical/Automatic Watches vs. Quartz Watches
What is a Mechanical/Automatic Watch?
Mechanical and automatic watches like this are timepieces powered by a complex series of gears and springs. Unlike quartz watches, which use a battery, mechanical watches rely on the mechanical movement of their parts to keep time.
-
Mechanical Watches: These watches must be manually wound by turning the crown. The mainspring stores energy, which is gradually released to power the watch.
-
Automatic Watches: Also known as self-winding watches, these harness the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist to wind the mainspring. If you wear them regularly, you don’t need to wind them manually.
What is a Quartz Watch?
A battery powers quartz watches and use a small piece of quartz crystal to keep time. The battery sends an electrical current through the crystal, causing it to vibrate at a precise frequency. These vibrations are converted into regular pulses, which move the watch hands.
Key Differences:
-
Power Source:
-
Mechanical/Automatic: Powered by a mainspring and gears.
-
Quartz: Powered by a battery.
-
Movement:
-
Mechanical/Automatic: The second hand moves smoothly, sweepingly.
-
Quartz: The second hand moves in individual ticks.
-
Maintenance:
-
Automatic: If worn consistently, the motion of your wrist will load the spring and keep it running. May need occasional servicing.
-
Quartz: Battery needs to be replaced periodically.
-
Accuracy:
-
Mechanical/Automatic: Slightly less accurate, with minor variations in timekeeping due to mechanical parts.
-
Quartz: Highly accurate, with minimal deviation over time.
Why Choose a Mechanical/Automatic Watch?
Mechanical and automatic watches are often chosen for their craftsmanship, heritage, and the intricate engineering involved in their creation. They offer a tangible connection to the tradition of watchmaking and are valued by enthusiasts for their beauty and the skill required to make them.
