chân kính

Friendly

The Vietnamese word "chân kính" can be understood as "jewel" in the context of watches. It specifically refers to the small synthetic or natural jewels used in the movement of mechanical watches. These jewels reduce friction between the moving parts, helping the watch to keep accurate time and prolong its lifespan.

Usage Instructions:

• "Chân kính" is commonly used when discussing watchmaking, watch quality, or features of a watch.
• It is particularly relevant for those interested in horology (the study and measurement of time) or watch collecting.

Example:

• "Chiếc đồng hồ này có mười bảy chân kính."
  • Translation: "This watch has seventeen jewels."

Advanced Usage:

In more technical discussions about watch mechanisms, you might encounter terms like "movement" (cỗ máy) or "escapement" (bộ thoát), which are related to how the jewels function within the watch.

Word Variants:

• "Chân" means "foot" or "leg" in other contexts, but in this case, combined with "kính" (glass), it specifically refers to the jewel.
• "Kính" itself can mean "glass," which is unrelated to the jewel context but is common in discussions about watches.

Different Meanings:

While "chân kính" specifically refers to jewels in watches, the individual words can have different meanings: - "Chân" can mean "foot" or "base." - "Kính" can refer to "glass," "lens," or "mirror."

Synonyms:

In the context of watches, there are no direct synonyms for "chân kính," but related terms might include: - "Ngọc" (gem) - a more general term for a precious stone. - "Đá quý" (precious stone) - referring to valuable stones, though not specifically for watch mechanisms.
