Owners of professional watches designed to withstand strong magnetic fields, like the Rolex Milgauss and Omega Railmaster, needn’t worry about this, but then we suspect owners of such timepieces will avoid a low-cost and potentially low-quality watch winder in the first place. Quality watch winders prevent this from happening by shielding their internals with a steel frame that acts as a Faraday cage. Magnetism can cause a watch to lose accuracy, or even lead to serious damage to watch movements that are not adequately protected. Protecting your watch from magnetismĪnother final detail to consider is damage caused to your watch movement by its close proximity to magnets inside the winder. Like a classic car, your mechanical watch also needs regular maintenance and should be sent away for a service as per the manufacturer’s guidelines – for example, a Rolex should be serviced approximately every 10 years. The answer here varies depending on the model and age of the watch, and how well it has been maintained over the years.īut it is generally the case that watch movements run more smoothly when they are used regularly, as this keeps the gears and other components lubricated. It is also commonly thought that a watch movement in constant use is more likely to be damaged than one used sparingly. Simply make sure the winder is compatible with your watch, and the rate at which it rotates can be adjusted, and you will be fine.
