Having a new watch, wear it every day for at least two weeks. • Wind the watch first, and then set the hands with the crown. • Wind an automatic watch 25 to 30 times to power the main spring. This helps guarantee optimum torque. • If you wear the watch daily, and only take it off at night, there should be no need to wind the watch. • Note: Many watches have a screw-down crown that must be released. Breaking In a New Watch: Most new mechanical watches will go through a short burn-in period. Nothing special needs to be done by the owner, the watch should take care of itself. Before a watch makes it to your wrist, it has likely been sitting in the jewelers store or a warehouse. Oils and lubricants can pool in certain areas. It takes 1 or 2 months for the oils to be distributed to their proper locations. The moving of the parts will also wear away and microscopic imperfections that most parts have. After a couple of months the watch will be properly broken in and run with more precision. |
