With the general rise in Chinese people income and standard of living. clocks have evolved from exclusive luxury goods to mass-market staples, especially expensive mechanical clocks. Still, the accuracy and sensitive nature of watches have not changed. To defend the price of your watch. When using and taking care of watches, it is imperative that you adhere to the following basic common sense.
How Often Does A Watch Need Maintenance?
As with any precise machinery, watches require regular maintenance to guarantee faultless operation. The natural wear rate of a watch usually dictates how frequently it needs to be serviced. Another important factor, in addition to the environment in which it is worn, is the regularity with which the watch is used. It is advisable to regularly check the waterproofness of the watch. (about once a year) and perform maintenance every four to five years.
How can I Ensure my Watch Maintains its Excellent Quality for Many Years?
1. Use of the watch—including waterproof watches—is not advised in saunas, hot springs, or other places with drastic temperature swings.
2. The watch’s crown and buttons should not be used in water.
3. Kindly keep the watch casing and strap/bracelet clean on a regular basis. If the strap is made of leather, kindly keep it out of the sun and away from water, moisture, cosmetics, etc.
4. The watch is anti-magnetic, therefore it should be kept away from long-term exposure to magnets, cell phones, and electrical appliances.
5. Please refrain from taking apart any portion of your watch or unscrewing the screws on it at whim.
6. Please keep your watch safe from knocks and falls.
7. With the exception of special watches, kindly refrain from adjusting the watch date between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. the following morning to prevent damage and erroneous calendar leaps.
8. Please spin the watch’s hands clockwise rather than counterclockwise if you need to change the time (except for quartz two-hand watches).
How Long can my Watch run When Fully Wound?
Special Model of Mechanical Watches: once fully wound, it may run for three to four days. Theoretically, a watch’s movement will determine how long its journey time is in its completely wound state. However, regular wear alone cannot ensure that the watch is fully wound under normal conditions.
The Reasons Why Watches Become Magnetized?
The balance spring, which is the most significant internal component of a mechanical watch that influences the time, is the primary cause of a watch becoming magnetized. A extremely thin spring makes up the hairspring. The watch will not tell the correct time if it is magnetized.
Watches should not be placed near magnetic fields, such as those produced by electrical appliances (computers, speakers, refrigerators, etc.) or magnetic objects (phones, magnets, etc.). Men and women use mobile phone cases with magnetic clasps, and women use handbags to open and close their magnetic clasps. The watch might become magnetized as a result, which would make it incorrect or momentarily stop.
Is it Easy for A Magnetized Watch to Become Magnetized Again After Demagnetization?
Once demagnetized, magnetic timepieces are suitable for regular usage. Because they often enter and exit magnetically charged places, some friends’ timepieces become magnetized repeatedly.
How to Determine Whether My Watch is Magnetized?
A straightforward compass can be used to determine whether your watch is magnetic. Lay the compass faceup on the surface. Bring the watch slowly in closer to the compass once the pointer is stable. The watch has been magnetized if the pointer moves. Of course, sending it to a qualified maintenance facility for specialist instrument inspection is the most accurate test. Degaussing can also be done concurrently at the professional maintenance location.
Can the Travel Time of the Watch be Adjusted so That There is no Error?
The steadiness of the balancing spring’s vibration frequency is a major factor in mechanical watch accuracy. Given that while being used, the watch will be impacted by several internal and external elements. such as the wearer’s usage behavior, the environment, and the temperature. Depending on the state of your watch, the watchmaker can try to minimize the error range as much as feasible. This includes watch positioning position. However, it cannot be changed to eliminate errors.
What Should You Pay Attention to When Wearing A Waterproof Watch?
Please refer to the waterproof grade and matching usage range for the standard for waterproof mechanical watches. Use of the watch—including waterproof watches—is not advised in saunas, hot tubs, or other places with drastic temperature swings. The watch’s crown and buttons should not be used in water.
