Common Faults in Mechanical Watches After a Fall

        A common fault in mechanical watches is inaccurate timekeeping, especially after an accidental drop, as the gravitational acceleration can cause significant damage. Potential damage includes exterior issues on a Cartier watch, such as case dents, scratches, a bent crown, or a cracked crystal. Internal damage may include a deformed dial, detached indices, loose hands, or lost luminescence, in addition to damage to movement components.
