CollectWatch Second Hand Runs but Hour and Minute Hands Stop: Rusty Gears, Slippery Teeth, or Water Damage?
Watch Encyclopedia3,775
ExcerptThe hour and minute hands of a mechanical watch are not running. The clock is not running because at least one of the clock gears inside cannot rotate or has slippery teeth. When the clock is not running, the clock will definitely not run. The reason why the clock gear does not rotate or has slippery teeth is that it is rusty inside, or water has entered and has not been dealt with in time...

Mechanical watches are very precise and inherited power. If there is a problem in a certain part, it will affect the operation of the entire watch, so every part has its role. Whether it is a genuine product or a Top Collectthere is still a chance of failure. Of course, mechanical watches are not necessarily faulty. As long as you pay attention to the usage specifications and maintenance, it is unlikely that problems will occur. Then what is the reason why the second hand of a mechanical watch often moves, but the clock and the clock do not move?

imageNow let’s analyze the principle: if the clock does not run, it means that at least one of the clock gears inside cannot rotate or has slippery teeth. When the clock does not run, the clock will definitely not run. The reason why the clock gear does not rotate or has slippery teeth is that there is rust inside, or rust caused by water ingress that is not treated in time. Rust will affect the rotation of parts. When the rotation is resisted, it will cause damage to the gears, slippery teeth, or frequent cracks. When this situation often occurs, the mechanical watch cannot be adjusted and can only be sent to a repair shop for the master to handle it.

How to avoid this failure? If it is a waterproof and moisture-proof mechanical watch, it cannot be worn in a hot bath because water vapor will run into the waterproof and moisture-proof area of ​​the mechanical watch and produce moisture that will corrode the waterproof and moisture-proof ring. Over time, it will lose its waterproof and moisture-proof effect. It can be rinsed with water at room temperature, but the crown must be pressed or tightened.: When adjusting the time, the rotation range should not be too large. Care should be taken and the rotation should be done slowly. This will minimize the wear and tear on the gear and naturally extend the service life.
