Watch repair in New York — FAQ
How does a watch get magnetised?
A watch becomes magnetised when it passes close to everyday electronic devices such as speakers, tablet covers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps. These items emit magnetic fields that can temporarily magnetise the steel hairspring inside a mechanical movement.
What are the signs that my watch needs demagnetisation?
The most common sign is a sudden and significant loss of timekeeping accuracy, typically causing the watch to run very fast. In some extreme cases of strong magnetic exposure, the watch movement may stop running entirely.
Can quartz watches be magnetised?
Quartz watches can be affected by strong magnetic fields, which may temporarily disturb the micro-motor and cause the watch to lose time or stop. However, quartz watches usually resume normal operation once they are moved away from the magnetic source, unlike mechanical watches which retain the charge.
Does demagnetisation require opening the watch case?
No, professional demagnetisation is a non-invasive procedure that is performed externally. The watchmaker passes the complete, closed timepiece through a specialised demagnetising device to neutralise the magnetic charge.
Is demagnetisation safe for my mechanical watch?
Yes, demagnetisation is entirely safe and does not cause any wear or damage to the watch components. It simply neutralises the static magnetic field that is disrupting the hairspring, restoring the movement to its normal state.
