How to adjust a fast mechanical watch
Window's Clock watch factory shares: "What should I do if a mechanical watch is fast and how can I adjust the speed of the mechanical watch?" When using a mechanical watch, many wearers have noticed that the pointer of the mechanical watch becomes faster as it moves. What is the reason why the mechanical watch moves faster? What should I do if the mechanical watch is fast?
1.Three main reasons for the fast movement of mechanical watches
The first reason for the fast movement of a mechanical watch is the problem of its swing frequency. The speed of a mechanical watch is mainly determined by its swing frequency. Usually, the larger the swing, the smaller the swing frequency. The smaller the swing, the greater the swing frequency. General mechanical watches rely on the retraction and retraction of the hairspring to control the swing, which is the basic principle of adjusting the speed. Making the hairspring that can be retracted longer will increase the swing, decrease the swing frequency, and slow down the watch; On the contrary, if the swing frequency increases, the watch will become faster.
Reason 2 for the fast movement of a mechanical watch: Due to structural issues with the watch itself, the deviation between the horizontal and vertical positions due to the gravitational force of the Earth can cause a potential difference. The spring is tightened to loosen, and the torque is unbalanced. In addition, due to the influence of external temperature, magnetic field, vibration, etc., even if the frequency of a mechanical watch is increased slightly, it is impossible for it to achieve the accuracy of a quartz electronic watch.
Reason three for the fast movement of a mechanical watch: magnetic field effect. After the hairspring is magnetized when encountering magnetism, the gap between the circles is only displayed during wearing, and there may be stickiness or temporary laps, especially when facing the facade. The hairspring will droop due to its own gravity, and the shaking of the arm will intensify its radial movement. This is why the magnetic energy effect is displayed.
2.How to adjust a fast mechanical watch
Solution 1 for fast mechanical watch movement:
A mechanical watch that is always accurate in minutes actually does not exist. Mechanical watches can only be manually adjusted for speed, that is, to adjust the effective length of the hairspring, commonly known as the "speed needle". The speed of a mechanical watch 24 hours a day should be within less than 30 seconds, otherwise it should be professionally adjusted (by moving the "hairspring"). If a mechanical watch is slower than 5 minutes a week, it indicates a problem with the watch. Every day, it slows down by about 43 seconds, which requires adjustment. The range of motion of the "hairspring" should be reduced, so that the watch can return to normal. In addition, each time the fast and slow needles are moved, it is approximately 120s/d, which is a 2-minute limit. However, the adjustment amount for different watches varies, so it is necessary to observe the changes in the speed of the watch at intervals and repeatedly adjust it several times until the time is accurate.
It should be noted that mechanical watches are precision instruments and equipment, and their composition requires numerous components that work closely together to perform their respective functions. So when adjusting, it is important to be very careful, using the smallest tweezers and using the most stable hand gestures to gently move.
