How to wind a Cartier watch?

　　Cartier watches feature a unified style and unique design, remaining both minimalist and stylish. However, if a self-winding mechanical watch is left unworn for a period, its power reserve will be depleted and the watch will stop. It needs to be restarted, which requires manual winding. So, how do you wind a Cartier watch? To help answer your questions, here are the steps for winding a Cartier watch for your reference.

　　Steps to wind a Cartier watch

　　(1) Servicing a Cartier watch begins by inspecting the winding and hand-setting mechanism. First, use the winding stem to check whether the watch runs. If it runs, pull the crown out to the hand-setting position and observe whether the hour, minute, and second hands collide with one another. If there is a collision, adjust the appropriate clearance between them. If there is no collision, check whether there is friction between the second watch hand and the sapphire crystal, and between the hour hand and the dial. If friction exists, adjust the clearances accordingly. If there is no friction, remove the hour, minute, and second hands, and then check whether the outer diameter of the hour wheel is centred in the central hole of the dial. Following this diagnostic procedure will help identify any faults affecting timekeeping.

　　(2) Diagnosing faults with the barrel arbor wheel, ratchet wheel, click, and click spring: if winding with the stem results in intermittent winding or slipping, indicating that the teeth of the barrel arbor wheel or ratchet wheel are severely worn with excessive meshing clearance, or that the click is worn and fails to hold the barrel arbor wheel, or the click spring has lost its elasticity. Another symptom is loose screws on the barrel arbor wheel, ratchet wheel, or click. The repair method is to replace whichever component is faulty, or restore it if replacement is not possible. Whichever component is damaged is annealed and repaired, and after resolving the issue, it is quenched to restore its original state.

　　(3) Diagnosing clutch wheel and ratchet wheel faults: if winding with the stem produces a rattling noise, it indicates that the teeth of the Cartier clutch wheel and ratchet wheel are worn or that the tooth tip meshing clearance is too large. Repair method: replace the Cartier clutch wheel and ratchet wheel, or anneal the worn gears, repair them, and then quench the annealed gears. Treat any colour changes in the metal caused by quenching using polishing compound.
