Listen up! Do you actually know how to maintain a mechanical watch?

    I am sure that when everyone first gets their hands on a mechanical watch, they have no idea how to carry out daily maintenance for the timepiece. Good care and maintenance not only extend the service life of your cherished watch, but also provide a better wearing experience. Below are nine daily maintenance guidelines for mechanical watches; whether you are familiar with them or not, it is worth taking a look.

　　NO.1, when wearing a watch, note that sweat is corrosive to the case. Those who exercise frequently or sweat easily should wipe away sweat regularly with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the timepiece caused by corrosion. Of course, nowadays manyMechanical watchmodern materials adopt new materials such as stainless steel and ceramic, meaning there is no need to fear issues like sweat corrosion.

　　NO.2, do not open the case back casually to prevent dust from entering the movement and affecting the normal operation of the watch. You should know that watches with opened case backs are prone to issues, such as a decrease in water resistance, so it is best to avoid opening it whenever possible.

　　NO.3, the watch should be stored in a watch box rather than a wardrobe containing mothballs, to prevent the watch oils from degrading.

　　NO.4, even if a watch is left aside and not worn for a long time, it should still be wound regularly once a month to prevent components from remaining stationary for too long and to ensure the running performance of the timepiece.

　　NO.5, do not place the watch near electronic products with strong magnetic fields, such as speakers and televisions, to avoid magnetisation which can cause timekeeping faults.

　　NO.6, what should you do if a mechanical watch gets damp? You can press dry cotton against the case and place it under a 40-watt light bulb to bake for 5 minutes, and the moisture inside the watch will completely evaporate.

　　NO.7, if the watch crystal is accidentally scratched, you can first drop a few drops of clear water onto the crystal, then squeeze on a little toothpaste and rub it. This can remove the scratches and make the surface look brand new.

　　NO.8 Do not wear your watch to sleep. Luminous watches can adversely affect health. The luminous material coated on the hands and dial is typically a mixture of radium and zinc sulphide. Radium is a strongly radioactive element whose emissions excite the zinc sulphide crystals to emit light, posing a risk to the human body.

　　NO.9 It is best not to wear the same watch every day; if circumstances permit, prepare several different watchesReplica watchesAlternating your watches not only enhances your personal style, but also prevents long-term wear from shortening the timepiece's lifespan and leaving it looking worn.

　　Mechanical watches should generally undergo regular maintenance at a service centre to ensure your cherished timepiece lasts longer.
