Power reserve refers to the amount of time a mechanical watch can continue running after it has been fully wound.The exact duration depends on the movement used in the watch. Common power reserves ...

A hand-wound mechanical movement is powered entirely by manual winding through the crown.Unlike an automatic movement, a hand-wound watch does not contain a rotor and cannot generate energy from wr...

Most automatic watches can be wound manually through the crown.If the watch has stopped, we generally recommend unscrewing the crown (if applicable) and turning it clockwise approximately 20-30 tim...

An automatic movement is a mechanical movement powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist.As the watch is worn, a weighted component called the rotor rotates and transfers energy to the mainspring...

Like all precision mechanical instruments, watches can be influenced by environmental conditions, including temperature.Extreme heat or cold may temporarily affect the viscosity of lubricants, the ...

Mechanical watches can be affected by magnetic fields commonly found in everyday life.Sources of magnetism may include:Smartphones and tabletsLaptop computersWireless chargersSpeakers and headphone...

No. For most mechanical watches equipped with a date function, the date should not be adjusted while the movement is performing its automatic date-change cycle.As a general precaution, we recommend...

The exact procedure may vary depending on the movement installed in your watch, but the general process is similar for most mechanical watches.To adjust the time and date:If your watch features a s...

The crown is one of the most important components of a watch and should be operated carefully to ensure proper functioning and maintain water resistance.Before adjusting the time, date, or manually...
