Why is antimagnetic protection in watches so difficult to solve?

　　When we wear watches, getting magnetised is a fairly common and hard-to-avoid issue. After so many years of development in the watch industry, why can the problem of anti-magnetism still not be resolved? What is the catch behind it? Let us join Yaya to look into the knowledge about watch anti-magnetism.

　　Knowledge about watch anti-magnetism

　　Speaking of anti-magnetism, it can be said to be the trickiest challenge facing mechanical timepieces today. Unlike around World War II, when only a tiny minority such as pilots and electrical engineers were affected by their working environments and prone to watch failure due to magnetisation, modern society is saturated with magnetism—from various electrical appliances and motors to small magnets fitted inside toys and bags. A moment of carelessness can easily cause a watch to become magnetised and lose accuracy.

　　There was once a businessman friend whose watches kept getting magnetised and needing demagnetisation after being worn for less than a year. He even suspected that he had unique physiological traits different from other people. It turned out that his personal habit was to constantly carry a small bag containing cash and documents, and he would habitually rest his wrist right against the opening of the bag. Combined with the fact that he usually wore his watch facing inwards on the inside of his wrist, his dial happened to be in direct contact with the magnetic clasp of the small bag for prolonged periods. Consequently, within just half a year, his watch would start showing noticeable magnetisation and running fast.

　　For anti-magnetism, the most universal method is to wrap the movement in a soft iron anti-magnetic shield to block magnetic interference. A rarer method is to make the entire movement using so-called paramagnetic materials that are unaffected by magnetism, though this requires major technological breakthroughs and the ability to manufacture in batches.

　　Precautions for watch anti-magnetism

　　1. In daily life, you should try to avoid exposing your watch to environments with strong magnetic fields.

　　2. Avoid getting too close to handbags with magnetic clasps.

　　3. Avoid placing the watch near magnetic electrical appliances such as mobile phones, televisions, and computers.

　　Review:

　　◆ The Seamaster series features an elegant, leisure appearance akin to a yacht, while the interior incorporates the waterproof and shock-resistant robustness required during activities.

　　◆ Whether authentic or high-grade replica, this remains a consistently popular model; its vertical textured design elements showcase a unique 'Teak Concept' dial that evokes the luxurious feel of a yacht deck.

　　◆ Modified 8500 movement; the newly replicated 8500 movement is much closer to the original and offers superior performance.

　　◆ As the original model itself is not overly complex technically, the case materials, movement, strap, and performance differ very little from the original, making it the top choice for buyers seeking ultimate accuracy.

　　◆ Features a 50-metre water resistance depth, capable of meeting daily waterproofing needs.

　　In fact, even if a watch is magnetised, it is a relatively easy issue to deal with. Using a demagnetiser to demagnetise it takes only 2 seconds, so few people pay much attention to this aspect. However, with technological advancement, Yaya believes that the trickiest anti-magnetism problem in watches will surely be fundamentally resolved in the near future.
