Mechanical watches can be affected by magnetic fields commonly found in everyday life.

Sources of magnetism may include:

• Smartphones and tablets
• Laptop computers
• Wireless chargers
• Speakers and headphones
• Magnetic clasps
• Household appliances
• Industrial equipment

Exposure to strong magnetic fields can affect the movement and may cause the watch to gain or lose time unexpectedly.

In many cases, magnetization is temporary and can be resolved through a simple demagnetization procedure performed by a watchmaker or service center.

To help preserve accuracy, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to strong magnetic sources whenever possible.

If your watch suddenly begins running significantly faster or slower than usual, magnetization may be one possible cause and our support team will be happy to assist with further evaluation.
