Play with it often: Not wearing a mechanical watch often is detrimental to the maintenance of the watch. Mechanical watches are all oiled. If they are not run for a long time, the gears and escapement system inside will be damaged. Without even and proper lubrication, as time goes by, watches that are not worn all year round will generally have greater errors in timekeeping.
Regular maintenance: Pay attention to the watch not to come into contact with acidic and alkaline things (such as soaping with the watch), avoid strong collisions, try to stay away from magnetic fields (such as microphones), and do not get close to steam. , that’s it. For watches with good sealing, dust is not easy to enter the watch machine, and the lubricating oil in the machine is not easy to evaporate, disperse and deteriorate, so it can be maintained every 4-5 years. If the user works in a humid or dusty environment, the maintenance time is about once every two years. In short, it is necessary to flexibly control the time according to the movement of the watch. If it is found that the watch has been soaked in water, affected by moisture, magnetized, dropped or bumped, resulting in large errors or stops, it should be cleaned and inspected in time. Mechanical watches need to be oiled regularly. You can do oiling and maintenance once every two years, so that your beloved watch can stay young like you.
Win the watch every day: For a manually wound mechanical watch, it is recommended to wind it manually for 20 to 30 turns for the first time. After that, it is best to wind the watch regularly every day. The automatic winding mechanical watch mainly relies on arm movement to automatically wind. If the winding is insufficient, it can be manually wound to supplement. Generally, well-designed mechanical watches are designed to automatically slip when fully wound to prevent the watch spring from breaking if it is too tight. Therefore, even if the clockwork rotates for 1 day, it will not rotate enough.
