People who wear watches know that mechanical watches and semi-automatic and automatic mechanical watches, so how do they distinguish?
How to distinguish mechanical watches?
So let me talk about that.
The ordinary mechanical watch is the so-called manual winding watch, which is equipped with a manual winding handle.
The fully automatic mechanical watch is a revolving heavy hammer around a clockwork gear, replacing the manual handle in the mechanical watch.
When the hand of the watch is in motion, the hammer will follow a small circular motion, so as to drive the spring gear, to achieve the effect of spring full.
When the spring is full, although the hammer is still moving, but at this time the gear is idling, it will no longer give the spring tight.
In fact, semi-automatic mechanical watches and automatic mechanical watches, belong to automatic mechanical watches, but the difference between the two is only that the former is a single phase of work, and the latter is a two-way hammer work.
Other than that, there’s not much difference.
But automatic mechanical watch without batteries, but have the wound, and the general mechanical watch the only different is automatic mechanical watch without artificial wind the handle, but in setting a table around the clockwork gear rotating hammer, when the hand of the moving heavy hammer do small circular motion, drive the spiral gear, the clockwork in full,
When the wind is tight enough, the hammer is still moving, but the gears are idling and no longer give the wind a boost.
The power mainly comes from the wrist activities of the wearer, the watch fly in the master activities to swing, thus winding the watch, so when the wearer usually activity is not large or long-term do not wear, the string force will be insufficient or empty, resulting in the watch is not allowed to go or stop.
The elderly and sedentary less exercise is not suitable for wearing such watches.
In this case, it is recommended that the wearer regularly give the watch manual winding as well.
Because the automatic mechanical watch must be wound automatically by the swing of the arm, so it must be worn for more than eight hours a day to ensure accurate timing.
The above is a small series to introduce you how to distinguish the problem of mechanical watches, more knowledge please pay attention to.
