How do I know if my watch needs demagnetisation?
If your mechanical watch suddenly begins running very fast, often gaining minutes or hours a day, it may be magnetized. A simple test with a physical compass can also help detect magnetic fields in your timepiece.
What causes a watch to become magnetized?
Watches can become magnetized through daily exposure to common household electronics. Items like smartphones, laptops, magnetic bag clasps, and speakers are frequent sources of magnetic fields.
Is demagnetisation safe for mechanical watches?
Yes, professional demagnetisation is entirely safe and non-invasive. The process uses a specialized demagnetizer to clear the magnetic charge from the movement without opening the watch case.
How long does a watch demagnetisation service take?
The demagnetisation process itself is very quick and typically takes only a few minutes to perform. A verified workshop can test, demagnetize, and verify the accuracy of your watch.
Where can I get a watch demagnetisation service?
You can use the Chronoever directory to find verified watch-repair workshops. These professional watchmakers have the proper equipment to safely demagnetize your timepiece.
