Dealing with Watch Magnetization: An Easy Fix

Mechanical watches, which can consist of hundreds of intricate parts, are susceptible to magnetization when exposed to magnetic fields. The good news is that this issue can be easily and affordably fixed with a demagnetizer. These devices are inexpensive and can demagnetize your watch in just a few seconds.

Why Magnetism Affects Watches

  • Vulnerable Components: The most commonly affected component is the hairspring, even those made from Nivarox alloys, which are designed to be resistant to magnetic fields. Despite this resistance, the iron and nickel in the alloy can still become magnetized.
  • Effects on the Watch: When magnetized, the coils of the hairspring stick together, effectively shortening the spring and causing the watch to gain time. In severe cases, the movement can stop entirely.

Detecting Magnetization

  • Compass Test: Place your watch near a compass. If the needle moves, your watch is magnetized. This is a 100% reliable method to diagnose the issue.

Using a Demagnetizer

  1. Simple Process: Pass the watch back and forth over the demagnetizer to remove the magnetic field and restore normal operation.
  2. Included Guide: Each device comes with straightforward instructions for use.

Product Details

  • Cost-Effective: Demagnetizers are typically priced around €40 / £35 / US$49.
  • Dual Voltage: This demagnetizer is dual 220/110V, making it usable worldwide. It comes with standard North American plugs. For use in other countries, simply use a readily available travel adapter. A version with a standard European plug is also available on our website.

Common Magnetic Sources

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in everyday life. Some common sources include:

  • Airport scanners
  • MRI machines
  • Smartphones and tablets
  • Handbags with magnetic clasps
  • Speakers and TVs
  • Security system door contacts

Real-World Example

One customer experienced magnetization with every mechanical watch he wore due to frequent exposure to a magnetic device at work. Identifying and eliminating the magnetic source resolved the issue.

Conclusion

Magnetism can be a major headache for hand-wound and automatic watches, but fortunately, no damage is usually done. The watch can be easily demagnetized using a demagnetizer, returning it to perfect working condition. If you suspect your watch is magnetized, use a compass to confirm, and then follow the simple demagnetization process.

Keep your mechanical watch running accurately and efficiently by addressing magnetization issues promptly with a demagnetizer. This simple tool offers a quick and reliable fix to a common problem, ensuring your watch remains in top condition.

      2. Notification of shipment once the goods are dispatched.

      Processing Time: Orders are shipped by the Post Office or Courier within 48 hours of payment processing. Note that our shipping centers are closed on Saturdays and Sundays; therefore, orders placed during this time may take up to 72 hours to be dispatched. This includes orders placed after 14:00 (CET) on Fridays.

      • Europe:
        • UPS: 2 to 5 days
        • Registered Mail: 7 to 14 days

        • Registered Mail: 7 to 21 days*

      *Some countries are notoriously slow to process goods on arrival, including Israel, Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico, South Africa, and some South American countries. Significant delays can also occur in other countries in Africa. For time-sensitive deliveries, we recommend using UPS, DHL, or FedEx.

      All shipping estimates exclude Saturdays and Sundays.

      While we strive to deliver within the above timeframes, they are guides, and delivery cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by couriers or any national postal service. If your goods are not delivered within the estimated time, please contact us at admin@mwc.watch, and we will do our best to resolve the issue promptly. We are not liable for any loss caused by late delivery.

      Our delivery charges cover the cost of shipping to you but do not include import charges and administration fees to clear the goods when entering your country if applicable.

      It is the purchaser's responsibility to understand that charges may be levied and to pay all subsequent import taxes and duties on goods shipped to their country. If items are returned to MWC due to rejected payment, subsequent charges incurred (such as import duty and processing costs) will be deducted from any refund issued. For more information, please contact accounts@mwc-distribution.com

      If you need to clarify any details regarding local taxes for your location, please contact us before placing an order. For clarification, goods shipped to the EU can be dispatched from our EU location if ordered at https://mwc.eu/, and we also have a dedicated UK shipping center at https://mwcwatches.co.uk/. In the United States, orders under $800 do not incur taxes or fees. In Australia, orders up to AU$1000 are tax-free. Many other countries have similar regulations, which you can verify using this helpful link: Zonos De Minimis Values and also this link to calculate taxes for shipments to most countries worldwide https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/

      We do not accept liability for goods lost after delivery to a PO Box. We reserve the right to cancel orders where the delivery address is a PO Box. Similarly, we do not accept liability for goods lost after confirmed delivery to APO or BFPO locations.

      Customer Notification: It is the customer's responsibility to notify us if goods are not received within 21 days of the estimated delivery date. If no notification is made within this period, the buyer is deemed to have received the goods.

      Safe Place Deliveries

      Some delivery companies allow for delivery without a signature, leaving the item in a "safe place" (e.g., shed, garage, porch). If you choose this option, it is at your own risk. We initially send items by a secure service requiring a signature or proof of delivery. Using a "safe place" increases the risk of theft. We advise ensuring deliveries require a signature to ensure safe receipt.

      Failed Deliveries

      If an item is refused and returned to us, we will refund the order less the outbound and inbound shipping charges once the item is received back at our packing and shipping center. For business locations, please notify the receiving personnel of the expected delivery to avoid refusals. Usually, we will be notified of delivery issues and will email you for instructions. It is important to act quickly to avoid return and associated costs.

      For any questions or further assistance, please contact us at admin@mwc.watch.
