What should I do if my Vacheron Constantin watch becomes magnetised?

　　Magnetisation in Vacheron Constantin watches is a fairly common issue. Although it causes no actual physical damage to the watch, it can result in inaccurate timekeeping, affecting daily use. So, what should you do if a Vacheron Constantin watch becomes magnetised? Below, we introduce methods for dealing with magnetised Vacheron Constantin watches for your reference.

　　How to handle a magnetised Vacheron Constantin watch

　　Certain highly valuable timepieces, particularly older vintage watches that have been in service for a long time, feature components crafted without modern techniques, making their anti-magnetic properties relatively weak. As a premier world-renowned watch brand ranked amongst the top ten globally, how should we avoid magnetising a Vacheron Constantin watch? For prestigious fine mechanical watches, it is essential to minimise their exposure to strong magnetic fields and keep them well away from items such as magnets.

　　The rate of a mechanical watch is governed by the balance spring and balance wheel. Once magnetised, a watch may stop, run slow or run fast. You can use a sensitive compass to determine whether a watch is magnetised. Pass the watch back and forth repeatedly over the compass; if the needle moves, the watch has been magnetised. Once a Vacheron Constantin watch becomes magnetised, it can be demagnetised using a professional demagnetiser or taken to an authorised service centre for demagnetisation.

　　Maintenance tips regarding magnetic fields for Vacheron Constantin watches

　　Many people have had this experience: a newly bought mechanical watch inexplicably develops timing errors, and the main culprit is magnetism. Because modern homes and social environments are filled with electromagnetic fields, if you inadvertently leave your watch near the television at home frequently, it will not take long for the movement to become magnetised. The noticeable change after magnetisation is that the timekeeping error of the movement becomes increasingly large. Of course, there is no need to panic; if magnetisation occurs, you can visit a professional institution for demagnetisation. To save yourself this trouble, it is recommended to keep unused watches away from strong magnetic fields in daily life.
