What are the tips for mechanical watch maintenance?

　　We all know that proper mechanical watch maintenance is very important. Maintaining a mechanical watch well not only extends its lifespan, but also keeps the watch looking better and more convenient for our daily life and work. So how many maintenance tips for mechanical watches do you know?

　　Mechanical Watch Maintenance Tips

　　Tip 1: Water ingress in watches

　　Mechanical watches without marked water resistance should be kept away from water and sweat on the case as much as possible. Water causes mechanical corrosion, and some semi-copper cases contain copper, which easily corrodes with long-term exposure to sweat during daily wear. You should regularly wipe away moisture from the case with a watch cloth to prevent corrosion from water. Since water-resistant gaskets are mostly made of plastic, they should be replaced periodically every year to prevent the watch from losing its water-resistant function or suffering reduced water resistance. Additionally, using a plastic watch stand is also a way to keep your cherished watch looking brand new.

　　Tip 2: Avoid contact with magnetic objects

　　Such as speakers, amplifiers, televisions, and so on, to prevent the timepiece from becoming magnetised and running slow. If it becomes magnetised and runs slow due to long-term contact with magnetic objects, demagnetisation treatment should be carried out promptly.

　　Tip 3: It is best to wear it every day

　　Manually wound mechanical watches should be wound regularly, while automatic mechanical watches should be worn on the wrist for a period or gently swung back and forth for a few minutes so the timepiece automatically winds its mainspring, preventing components from remaining stationary for long periods.

　　Tip 4: Lubricating the watch

　　Mechanical watches operate through the drive of mechanical gears and mainsprings, and rotation inevitably produces friction. Therefore, lubrication is essential over time to reduce the component wear rate. Otherwise, waiting until a malfunction occurs before sending it for repair often means the problem is already very serious.
