5-point basic watch maintenance and operation knowledge

With the rapid improvement of living standards, more and more successful men have developed the habit of wearing watches. However, many people have questions about when to chain their love watches, how to adjust their calendars and time, and where to repair them if there is a problem? "You may not know any of these basic questions, so today I will organize some typical questions commonly encountered when wearing watches to explain them to you."

1. Do mechanical watches require prescribed maintenance? Why do we need maintenance?

Like cars, mechanical watches require regular lubrication of the movement inside the watch to maintain smooth movement. If not maintained, the lubricating oil will slowly evaporate and consume as the wear time goes on, and the friction between the parts inside the movement will slowly increase, resulting in wear and inaccurate timing of the movement gears. In addition, friction can generate fine dust and damage the internal movement parts of the watch.

2. How often do watches usually be maintained?

The recommended maintenance time for different brands of mechanical watches varies, generally around three to five years.

1. What is the maintenance process? What will the boss do to the watch when he opens it?

Generally, the case and strap of a watch will be removed and cleaned with a door opener. The movement will undergo chemical cleaning and inspection. Some worn parts will be replaced, all cleaned, and after replacement, the boss will reassemble the watch, oil it, and adjust the speed. Finally, the assembled watch will undergo a special waterproof test.

1. How much does a typical maintenance cost? How long does the maintenance take?

Different brands and different styles of watches require different maintenance fees. Generally speaking, the cost of a single maintenance for a non complex robotic wrist watch can be more than 500 yuan, and the more expensive the watch brand, the higher the maintenance cost,The specific maintenance time will vary depending on the store's arrangement. Generally, the maintenance time takes more than a week.

1. Do mechanical watches need to be chained every day?

Mechanical watches are divided into automatic watch reduction and manual mechanical watch. The latter requires manual chaining to provide corresponding kinetic energy to the watch. Therefore, it is recommended to take off your watch and attach a few round chains to it every day when you are sleeping. This habit of regularly chaining can make the watch more accurate, while an automatic watch can be worn for 8-10 hours or more per day without the need for additional chaining.
