If you purchased a clock with a mechanical mechanism, then sooner or later they will stand. So it should be, because instead of replacing the batteries, you must have a special wheel on them. To begin with, read the instructions that came with the clock, as each brand and model have their own unique features. If it happened that you have no instructions, then try to find it on the Internet to learn more about your mechanism. Only learning which plant in front of you, you can proceed with the setting.
How to recognize the clock with a manual factory and with the auto-cutting
The first mechanism is familiar to everyone - it was on him who worked the old grandfather's clock, which he always started at the same time. The second invention appeared somewhat later. The auto-shock is a complex mechanism in which the clock themselves performs the plant during the day. The only condition is their constant sock, the more movement - the more accurate the hours go. If you wear a clock with such a mechanism too little, then they will need a manual factory. Find out what hours in front of you and start instructions.
How to start a mechanical clock with a manual factory
- It is always recommended to make this procedure at the same time that the error on the clock is minimal.
Remove the clock with the hands, make sure that the time on the clock is exactly the same as during yesterday's plant. - Scroll wheel 35-40 times clockwise, no more. In fact, you cannot break this mechanism or harvest your clock if you turn longer, but it is extremely not recommended to do so in order to extend the life of your mechanism.
- After that, you can again put the clock on your hand and wear them another day.
There are special models of watches, manufacturers of which give a guarantee that they do not need to start more than two days if you are confident in this information, then repeat the procedure once every two days, but do not forget to check the time and its accuracy.
How to start a mechanical clock with an auto-winding
If you perform the main condition - moving a lot during the day with the clock on your hands, then you do not need to start such hours at all. But if you did not work out this criterion, then get them on the following algorithm:
- Remove the clock with the hands.
- Get the wheel clockwise at 5 - 10 revolutions.
- Make sure the clock go true and the time did not get confused.
More revolutions will not need such a clock, there will be three turns to some models. If this happens with your mechanism often, and you do not have the opportunity to wear a clock longer, it is better to purchase a special box called Winder. This is such a box in which the clock is constantly moving, although slowly. It ensures reliable operation of the auto-shower, you will not have to make a manual adjustment.
Now you know the basic principles of working with manual mechanical clock of different types of plant, if the instructions have not turned out at hand.
