About Lord Timepieces

Lord Timepieces is a British watch brand selling its own designs online, and a Lord Timepieces discount code is normally spent on one watch or on a watch with a spare strap. This is the fashion-watch end of the market, where the case, dial and bracelet are the brand's own design and the movement inside is bought in from a specialist maker, and understanding that division tells you what you are actually paying for.

Quartz and automatic behave differently

A quartz movement runs on a battery, keeps time to within seconds a month and needs a new cell every couple of years. An automatic winds itself from the motion of your wrist, runs for a day or two off the wrist before stopping, and keeps time less precisely by design, often gaining or losing several seconds a day. Neither is faulty; they are different mechanisms with different expectations, and the listing says which one a watch has.

Crystal: mineral or sapphire

The glass over the dial is usually mineral glass or sapphire. Sapphire is far harder and resists the scratches that come from brushing a doorframe, which is the commonest cosmetic damage to a watch. Mineral glass is cheaper and more likely to mark. If a watch is for everyday wear rather than occasional, the crystal is worth more attention than the dial colour.

Strap width is the number to note

Straps are sold by lug width in millimetres, and a strap of the wrong width will not fit however good it looks. Find the figure on the product page before buying a spare. Quick-release spring bars let you change a strap without tools; without them it is a job for a small pin tool and a steady hand.

Bracelet sizing and the first wear

A metal bracelet arrives longer than most wrists and is shortened by removing links. Measure your wrist with a paper strip first, and have a jeweller size it if you would rather not work on it yourself. Keep the removed links, since they are the only way to lengthen it again.

Using a Lord Timepieces discount code

Apply the code in the basket and check the total before paying. Codes commonly exclude items already reduced, bundle offers that are priced as a deal already and gift cards. A watch must go back unworn with the protective film intact for a return to be accepted.
