Why is the Watch Not Working?

Some people who wear watches have encountered the situation that the watch has not been carried for a long time, and many people thought it was broken at first. In fact it is not. There are many reasons why a mechanical watch does not go, such as: bumps, misalignment of movement gears, magnetism of the watch, long shelving time, dry sludge, etc. What should I do if the watch does not go away? Let's take a look.

1. Why is the watch not working?

If it is determined that the watch is not bumped, it is likely that it is not wound, resulting in insufficient power. Just wind up enough and the watch will work again.

However, there is another reason why the watch does not go: improper daily use, causing the watch to enter the water, or accidentally causing the watch to fall or be hit, many of the internal parts of the watch are known to everyone, and there are many parts and precise structure. If the running parts of the wrist watch are dislocated or damaged due to a drop or impact, the watch will not go away.

2. What should I do if the watch does not work?

If the power is insufficient, the principle of the self-winding watch is to rely on the function of the automatic winding mechanism that can automatically turn the mainspring in any direction.

Generally, a fully automatic watch should be worn on the hand for more than 8 hours a day to make up the amount of mainspring, but it is not absolute. Therefore, if you do not wear it for a long time, or if you do not exercise enough after wearing it, it will also cause the Breguet watch to not go.

For such a situation, manual winding can be used to solve it. It is worth noting that for a self-winding watch that has not been worn for more than 40 hours, the crown should be turned twenty times when it is worn again to start the drive system of the movement again.

If the watch does not go because of insufficient kinetic energy, it means that the mechanical watch is faulty and needs to be sent to a professional maintenance person for repair. Remember not to disassemble the mechanical watch yourself.

Whether it is a manual or self-winding watch, the principle is to rely on the driving of mechanical gears and springs to run, and the rotation will inevitably generate friction, so it must be oiled and lubricated after using for a long time to reduce the wear rate of parts.

We mainly focus on high-end stainless steel watches with quartz and mechanical movements, including Swiss ETA, ISA, Ronda, Miyota and Seiko movements. Our high-quality watches enjoy a high reputation in many parts of the world, including Europe and the United States. We ensure strict quality checks in every part of production, right up to the final completion of the exclusive timepiece. If necessary, welcome to consult.
