With the development of the watchmaking industry, a dazzling array of watches has ushered in a new era. Their exquisite appearance dazzles our golden eyes, and the internal parts of the watch body perfectly allow us to enjoy the pinnacle of quality. But each watch looks like an automatic mechanical winding.

What does the automatic movement table mean?

The automatic movement watch, as its name suggests, does not require a battery to allow the watch to move accurately, which is exactly the opposite of a traditional mechanical watch. However, its energy is not generated endlessly. Its energy comes from the arm movements of the watch owner. If the watch owner does not wear the watch for a long time, the watch will be inaccurate and stop running due to lack of energy. Therefore, it must be worn for more than 8 hours a day to ensure the accuracy of the chronograph.

The principle of automatic movement winding watch.

There are several structural types of automatic watches, but their working principles are similar. The utility model is installed behind the movement and can be seen by opening the back cover. Automatic Swiss watch movements are generally thicker. The automatic dial with universal reversing wheel structure consists of an automatic hammer (weight), reversing wheel, automatic transmission wheel, automatic head wheel, etc. Fix it on the central axis of the automatic hammer head with screws. Under the action of external force, the rotor rotates around the center and drives the reversing wheel. The reversing gear teeth push the automatic transmission wheel to rotate. The automatic transmission wheel drives the automatic rotor. The automatic head wheel meshes with the teeth of the large steel wheel to rotate the tooth root of the large steel wheel. The automatic dial is self-winding and can be rotated in any direction.

A common problem with automatic movement tables.

The machine cannot stop automatically when leaving the station or walking. Automatic movement watch shutdown is a very common problem. There are two main reasons. First, using the watch for a long time will cause hardware problems, such as insufficient lubrication, increased friction and wear, etc. These problems will cause the watch's automatic winding function to decrease - insufficient energy, causing the watch to stop or not be able to walk normally when walking. Another reason is that we use it improperly. If you are a person who sits for a long time in a company and rarely moves, then the swing of your arm will be relatively small. At this time, the watch will definitely lack energy, causing it to not move or cause errors. When the watch is not used for a long time and is left idle, the watch will not move. This is because there is a lack of power from movement. Wear it again and you can manually wind it to replenish energy.

A good usage habit can keep our watches accurate for a long time. With some simple maintenance and repairs, we can maximize the functions of automatic watches and enjoy their supreme quality.
