There are many definitions of horology availabe but in general horology is the art of science of measuring time. The word horology is derived from the greek word ὥρα, "hour, time" and Greek: λόγος, logos, "study, speech". Clocks, watches, clockwork, sundials, clepsydras, timers, time recorders and marine chronometers are all examples of instruments used to measure time. This time I would like to share my interest of the world of horology, my interest in watches. Let us learn some basic things about watches to be specific; its framework or in other words "anatomy" hehe. The pictures shown below are the watch "anatomy"

Besides that there are two terminology used in watch strap which are strap and bracelet. The term strap refers to watch strap that made of rubber, leather, plastic or fabrics. Meanwhile the terms bracelet refers to watch strap made of steel ( gold, titanium, stainless steel etc.)
