Effy Support

Because of his engineering background, our founder and designer, Mr. Effy Hematian, was fascinated by the art of horology. Many years ago, for a brief period, a selection of Effy watches was released to the market. To honor the Effy brand legacy, the Hematian family has relaunched Effy Watches with a collection that pays homage to our own history of timepieces.

We can all appreciate the beauty and function of a quality timepiece. For this reason, Effy Watches are designed for the individuals, regardless of their gender. The selection of case sizes, options for automatic, quartz and chronograph models as well as diverse style options means
there’s an Effy timepiece for everyone.

A movement refers to the part of the watch that drives the hands on the watch face to make it tick. It’s often described as the engine of a watch. The two types of movements used in Effy Watches are automatic and quartz.

An automatic timepiece is a self-winding manual watch that uses the wearer’s wrist movement to power itself. This eliminates the need for batteries or regular manual winding. Automatic watches have a rotor that spins when the arm moves and winds a mainspring. The mainspring stores and releases energy to keep the watch running.

A quartz watch uses a battery powered electronic oscillator to keep time. A battery sends an electric current through a tiny quartz crystal, causing it to vibrate at a very precise and stable frequency. An electronic circuit counts these vibrations and sends an electrical pulse to a tiny motor which moves the watch hands to show the time.

Caliber is the specific model of a watch movement, defining its size features and how it functions. It is often identified by a unique number or code. Timepiece caliber information is available on the product page for each Effy Watch featured on our website.

A chronograph is a timepiece that includes a stopwatch function in addition to displaying the time. Most chronographs have sub-dials on the timepiece face that record the seconds, minutes and hours of the stopwatch function.

A Skeleton watch is a mechanical timepiece with the dial stripped away to show the inner workings, such as the bridges, gears and wheels. The design showcases the intricate movement and craftsmanship of the timepiece. Our Effy Watches Chronograph model also includes an “exhibition back” case which also shows the inner workings of the timepiece from the back.

The protective cover, also known as the crystal, is made from high quality durable sapphire crystal to ensure your Effy timepiece remains beautiful and functional. Sapphire crystal is renowned for its scratch resistance and high clarity, making it perfect for everyday use.

Water resistance in timepieces refers to the ability to withstand water pressure and prevent water from entering the case. It is usually measured in atmospheres, known as ATM or meters.
Water resistance ratings are measured through static pressure tests which simulate the pressure a watch would encounter at a certain depth underwater. Effy Watches fall into 2 categories of
water resistance: 50m/5ATM, suitable for swimming in shallow waters, showering and bathing and 100m/10ATM, suitable for swimming, snorkeling and water sports. Our product description pages include details of each model’s water resistance.

Individual battery life varies between each of our quartz caliber models and ranges from 40 months to 10 years. Battery life details are included on the product description page for each model in our Effy Watches collection.

Our Swiss-made timepieces include cases crafted in 18 Karat yellow and rose gold, stainless steel and titanium. Some stainless steel or titanium models also include PVD (physical vapor deposition) coatings. This colored titanium nitride coating enhances color, durability and resistance to wear and corrosion.

Watch strap and bracelet materials include calf leather, lizard leather, stainless steel, silicone, rubber, titanium (with PVD), and nylon. Our watch straps have prong closures, and our watch bracelets feature deployment buckles.

The sapphire crystal on some models of Effy skeleton watches features diamond-inspired kite-shaped facets crafted into the crystal around the bezel. This feature was envisioned and developed by our founder and designer, Mr. Effy Hematian, and his grandson Yonatan as a nod to our history as a jewelry brand.
