Why Your Automatic Mechanical Watch Stops Running: Common Causes Explained

Many friends find that when they buy a mechanical watch, the watch doesn't go without two days. Everyone's first reaction is: the watch is broken, the quality is too poor! And in fact, there are reasons why the mechanical watch does not go, find out the reasons to solve this problem!

What should I do if my machine automatic watch doesn't work? There are many reasons why a mechanical watch does not move, such as collision, wrong gears, magnetization of the watch, and too much time on the shelf, all of which can cause a mechanical watch not to move.

Mechanical watches are categorized into handmade watches and automatic mechanical watches, both of which are powered to run by a string gauge. Fortunately, there is a component inside the automatic mechanical watch called gyroscope. This utility model can wind up the automatic servo, which can provide power for the watch. As a result, the power of a mechanical watch is not battery operated like a quartz watch. Many friends who know little about watches make this kind of joke when they buy a mechanical watch.

The working principle of a fully automatic winding watch is the function of the automatic winding mechanism by tightening the winding while the automatic gyroscope is rotating in any direction. Ordinary automatic watches should be worn for more than 8 hours a day to replenish the amount of winding, but it is not absolute. Therefore, if it is not worn for a long time, or if it is worn with insufficient movement, it will also cause the mechanical watch to be unable to walk. In this case, it can be solved by manual winding. It should be noted that a self-winding watch that has not been worn for more than 40 hours should be reworn with twenty revolutions in order to restart the drive system of the movement.

When a machine watch stops suddenly, prioritize whether it is due to lack of power. The hand-wound watch should try to wind the watch at the same time every day so that the watch can run for the next 24 hours. And automatic mechanical watches can be wound automatically, and should be worn on the hand for more than 8 hours a day, which can replenish the amount of clockwork But this is not absolute, such as a long time not to wear, or wear after the insufficient amount of movement, there will also be a watch does not walk or walk and so on. In this case, you can also manually wind automatic mechanical watch winding, the method is consistent with the manual way.

If the watch fails to walk due to lack of power, it can be solved by the above methods. If the above methods are ineffective, it is highly likely that the mechanical watch is malfunctioning and needs to be sent to a professional repairer for repair. Don't say mechanical watch disassembled by yourself to avoid damaging the core components!

Whether it is a manual or automatic winding watch, its principle is to rely on mechanical gears and clockwork driven to run, so it will inevitably produce friction, so it must be refueled and lubricated after a long time, in order to reduce the wear rate of parts.
