Glossary

Detent

A functional feature in watches that holds the watch hands securely in place on the dial. It typically consists of two or more metal pieces that are placed within the watch movement and interact with each other to secure the hands in their positions. The detent ensures the accuracy of the displayed time on the watch and prevents unintended movement of the hands, which can lead to inaccuracies.
