What is a mechanical watch and how does it work

A mechanical watch is a classic timepiece that works without batteries. It runs using tiny gears and a wound spring. People love it for its long-lasting build, smooth movement, and elegant look. You can wear it daily, use it for work, or take it on adventures—some are even water-resistant and shockproof. Collectors enjoy the detailed design, while others like the feeling of winding it or seeing it power itself through motion. They also make great gifts—they carry meaning and last for years. Owning one is like wearing a small piece of art that moves with you and tells your story over time. It is not just a watch—it is a piece of history and craftsmanship you can wear.

How to maintain your mechanical watch

Owning a mechanical watch comes with the responsibility of proper maintenance to ensure its longevity and performance. Here are some tips:

  • Avoid magnetic fields: Keep your watch away from electronics and magnets, as they can disrupt its accuracy.
  • Service regularly: Schedule servicing every 3-5 years to keep the internal mechanisms in optimal condition.
  • Store properly: Use a dedicated watch box or case to protect your timepiece from dust and scratches.
  • Wind carefully: For manual watches, wind the crown gently to avoid damaging the mainspring.

By following these steps, you can preserve the beauty and functionality of your mechanical watch for years to come.
