What to do if a mechanical watch stops?
If the watch stops or is inaccurate, the first thing to consider may be insufficient power! The principle of an automatic winding watch is to generate power by rotating the automatic rotor to the winding point. Generally speaking, a fully automatic watch needs to be worn on the hand for more than 8 hours a day to replenish the winding amount, but this is not absolute. Therefore, if it is not worn for a long time, or if the amount of exercise is insufficient after wearing it, it will also cause the mechanical watch to be inaccurate or stop. For this situation, it can be solved by manual winding.
How to wind the watch?
Turn the crown upward about 35 times to restart the drive system of the movement. Manual winding is only required when the watch is inaccurate or stops. If it is worn normally every day and there is no deviation in the running time, there is no need to wind it again.
How to judge whether the winding method is correct?
First of all, there are usually two types of crowns. One is a locking type, which requires the crown to be loosened so that it pops out of the threaded connection slightly, and then wind it (be sure to press the crown back to lock it after winding). The second type is not a locking type, but directly rotates the mainspring. There will be a sense of resistance when the spring rotates, and you can hear the sound of gears turning and rubbing when you put it close to your ear.
Precautions for using mechanical watches:
1. Do not adjust the time between 10 pm and 2 am.
2. After adjusting the watch, be sure to press the crown back to its original position.
3. According to national standards, the travel error of a mechanical watch is normal within 45 seconds!
4. Fully automatic mechanical watches require users to wear them normally every day and maintain appropriate activity to maintain normal winding, power storage and operation. When the wearer is less active or does not exercise enough, the watch may be inaccurate or stop running, which is normal.
