Getting started with mechanical watches! Gain knowledge! Is it normal for a mechanical watch to stop? The answer is, however, the principle of mechanical watch is to rely on the winding tension to drive the gear to rotate, drive the whole watch away, the watch slowly consumes kinetic energy when it operates, and when the kinetic energy is insufficient, the watch slowly stops!
Automatic mechanical watch: The movement comes with a pendulum behind it, when we wear it in the hand to exercise, the rotation of the pendulum can help tighten the mainspring and increase the kinetic energy of the watch itself, but let the time last for a long time, but it is not worn on the hand The kinetic energy of the watch increases a lot, the answer is definitely not, it also depends on the amount of arm movement, so for a mechanical watch, manual winding is essential, every 3-5 days to the watch on the next strip, then the watch is very accurate, and very healthy.
A fully automatic mechanical watch craves the daily companionship and moderate activity of its owner, so that it can draw strength and sustain the rhythm of life. When the owner's activity decreases, the walking pace of the watch may become sluggish or even paused, which is the norm in life.
When wearing the watch for the first time, gently rotate the watch stem 20 to 30 times to inject the initial vitality into the soul of the watch. Let the arm swing more often, the problem of "wearing a new watch twice in ten days" is not largely due to performance problems, otherwise it will stagnate every day. The most likely reason is that there is not enough activity during wearing, and the swing of the arm is too sparse, resulting in a lack of strength of the watch.
A fully automatic watch has a self-winding mechanism that breathes life into the watch by the movement of the arm. With the exception of a few Japanese watches, most fully automatic watches can be wound with both hands, a manual method designed to compensate for the lack of self-winding or the wearer's lack of activity.
In today's society, people sit and work more, drive more cars, and walk less, and hand winding (complementing) has become a must to wear a fully automatic watch, otherwise it will lead to insufficient length of the watch, and the accuracy of the watch is often stopped and the accuracy of the time is poor. You must know that automatic watches are not as absolutely "fully automatic" as everyone imagines and understands. So, it might be more appropriate to call a fully automatic watch an "arm-swinging auxiliary winding mechanism".
