The power source of an automatic mechanical watch is vibration. When a watch is worn on your hand, it is inevitable that people will get an electric shock when moving the watch. A watch has a structure that collects vibration energy and converts it into mechanical rotation energy. If you wear a watch on your hand, it will wind automatically if it is not wound. If you put your watch where there is no vibration, it will stop moving within 24 hours.

Matters needing attention in the use of mechanical watches

1, avoid vibration

At present, many mechanical watches are shockproof, but when the external impact is strong, it is easy to break the tip of the pendulum shaft or the journal of the gear train, and the walking time can be affected by the vibration of the fast and slow hands.

This watch is waterproof.

Try not to bring a watch when swimming and washing clothes. Once it rains, gets wet or gets wet, do not pull out the handle to adjust the watch at this time, but dry it immediately. The sea is untouchable. Even waterproof watches can't be sloppy. Sometimes the waterproof ring of a waterproof watch will age or loosen after a period of time. Therefore, it is best not to let the watch get wet. If conditions permit, you can also replace the waterproof ring!

3. Prevent magnetization

Although watches are made of nonmagnetic materials that are not easy to magnetize, they are greatly influenced by magnetic fields when walking, such as the magnetic buttons on the speakers of TV and radio, backpacks or wallets.

4. Watch maintenance

It is best to do professional maintenance for mechanical watches every 3-5 years, which is directly related to the service life of watches. The better the watch is maintained, the more stable it works and the longer its life.
