FAQ
Q: What is a skeleton watch and how does it work?
A: A skeleton watch features an open-worked dial that reveals the intricate mechanical movement inside. The Ingersoll The Smith I05706 showcases the gears, springs, and balance wheel, allowing you to see the automatic mechanism at work. The watch winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist, storing energy in a mainspring that powers the movement.
Q: Does this watch require batteries?
A: No, the Ingersoll The Smith I05706 is powered by an automatic mechanical movement that requires no batteries. It winds itself as you wear it throughout the day. If the watch stops due to inactivity, simply wind it manually using the crown or wear it to restart the automatic winding mechanism.
Q: Is the rose gold case made of solid gold?
A: The rose gold case features rose gold tone plating or finish over a base metal. This provides the luxurious appearance of rose gold at a more accessible price point whilst maintaining durability and quality craftsmanship.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming or showering?
A: Water resistance specifications are not confirmed for this model. We recommend avoiding exposure to water, including swimming and showering, to protect the mechanical movement and leather strap. Leather straps are particularly susceptible to water damage.
Q: How do I care for the leather strap?
A: Keep the leather strap away from water, excessive moisture, and direct sunlight. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and chemicals. The crocodile-embossed leather will develop a natural patina over time with proper care.
Q: What makes Ingersoll watches special?
A: Ingersoll has a rich heritage dating back to 1882, known for making quality timepieces accessible. The Smith collection celebrates mechanical watchmaking with skeleton designs that showcase the artistry of automatic movements. Each watch combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary styling.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Ingersoll The Smith I05706 makes an exceptional gift for watch enthusiasts, those who appreciate mechanical movements, or anyone seeking a sophisticated timepiece with visual interest. The skeleton dial and elegant navy-and-rose-gold colour scheme appeal to discerning tastes.
