How to make a mechanical clock?

Each mechanical clock, branded and not very acquired in the store or via the Internet must be accompanied by instructions from the manufacturer. First of all, we recommend to familiarize yourself with it, as some models may have specific maintenance features. General recommendations are as follows:

  • Mechanical clock are cutting, holding both hands. Therefore, before the procedure, they are recommended to remove them to avoid excess pressure (as a result of -deformation, failure) to the crown of the plant.
  • It is worth a clock at the same time, for example in the morning or evening. The essence of this rule is simple - the daily daily error will remain the same.
  • On average, full turn of the head of the watch leads them for one hour. You can make a maximum of 35-50 turns. Modern models of devices are often equipped with a special mechanism, thanks to which it is impossible to overdo the plant and break the clock. However, testing thin parts for durability is thus not worth it.
  • Watch with auto-winding can not start manually. This function is assigned to the rotor, the work of which is carried out due to the movement of the limb to which the accessory will be put on. Many hours with a similar mechanism grabs 8 hours of wearing to "recharge" on one or two days.
  • If the clock with the auto-shift stopped from a long break to use, they should be done manually by making five to ten head turns. More than 20 rotations do not need. It should also be remembered that certain models of the clock are valid exclusively from movement (for example orient).
  • It happens that the owner carries a clock with an auto-winding on occasion, but does not want to see them always in working condition, without excess manual service. It is believed that frequent manual winding of the clock with the auto-winding is faster than their mechanism. For such cases, Viners have created - special box storage boxes in which the clock is constantly moving.
  • The rotation of the plant's head should not be solid or frivolous. Turn it slowly, smoothly, short movements.
  • The head of the plant is twisted only forward. Inverse movement, if it is possible, is responsible for the distribution of lubricant by the mechanism.

It makes no sense to conclude hours during the day if you and so make this action on a regular basis, in favorites time of the day. The device also does not need to start it in addition when changing the time and adjustment of the calendar.
