Talk about watch vibrators related to watch winders

Few people used this thing a few years ago, but now most watch friends try to manually repair more than one watch, which is troublesome. Let me talk about my personal opinion on the watch winder. A long time ago, the watch winder was like this with teeth and claws. It is also called a rotation instrument and is necessary for watch repairers. This vertical rotation is more "position" than the home-use shaker watch that rotates on a plane around an axis. The force on the axis of the automatic gyro is the most even, and the lens squats on top of the entire body to become a "three-dimensional gyro". "Flywheel frame", the position difference will be very inconspicuous.

It is absolutely consistent, one is that it is open and not dustproof, and the other is that it is not like a home winder with a rich winding mode, which is easy to overwind. The third is that the fixed method determines that it is not too firm to wear and stay on it, and the "bias" will fall off easily. I often chat with watch repairers and see that they “treat” other people's watches differently. Rolex Omega is tied with a rubber band for insurance, and I am afraid of losing it. Several entry-level watches squat around barely on it, making people feel anxious.. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I will not "dislike the poor and love the rich" for quality genuine watches. I will tie rubber bands properly to relieve the obsessive-compulsive disorder. Watches should be treated kindly, maybe it is the good of others, or witness to the past, it is of great significance.

The price of this kind of "watch winder" ranges from 10,000 yuan for the Swiss brand to a few hundred for the motherland version.

Let's talk about our home storage box (or cabinet) turntable winder. This is called a Japanese invention. The core Japanese Mabuchi motor also has a high market share. Because the motor with precious metal brushes is durable and silent, some high-grade wood production premium indicators, the normal price range is basically those of the top e-commerce sales. The “fake foreign devil” fudges the same thing. It is N times more expensive to register an overseas trademark. In fact, the homogeneity of each product is serious. The power control circuit of the box body and the interface motor reduction gear box turntable are divided into gears. There are no belts, two, almost standardized industry supporting systems, and the cost can be controlled very low.

Here is what everyone cares most about:

1. Whether there is a magnetic field problem. Don't worry about this, unless the motor has such a lost magnetic field, but it is far enough from the turntable where the watch is located, 5cm is enough to attenuate, not to mention the actual distance from the turntable is more than 5cm. I don't know that a wild road manufacturer has made a thief fast motor which is very sum and close to the turntable. It really shakes the car. The technology is mature. As long as it is not cheap and outrageous, there is no need to worry.

2. Whether it has passed the winding problem. The common watch winder winding logic generally has five gears, and the mode is as follows: 0: stop. 1: Turn right for 2 minutes, stop for 6 minutes, and cycle. 2: Turn left for 2 minutes and stop for 6 minutes: minutes. cycle. 3: Turn right for 2 minutes, turn left for 2 minutes, stop for 6 minutes, and loop. 4: Turn right for 5 minutes, turn left for 5 minutes , last 3 hours, stop for 9 hours, and loop.

Using a watch winder actually requires a little knowledge of the movement. At least in modes 1 and 2, you must first know where your one-way automatic movement is going.

For 99% of watch friends, Mode 3 is the most suitable. The chance of over-winding is small. As long as the power does not start from zero, it is no problem to ensure that the watch will not slow down due to lack of power. Take the ETA2824 movement and Rolex's 3135 movement as an example, when the dynamic reserve is about less than half, in mode 3 for 10 hours, take it down and measure the position close to the full chain, the efficiency is still OK .

Mode 4 is suitable for starting from zero. It is not recommended to replace the watch with more than half of the storage. Don't underestimate the uninterrupted winding of 3 hours, which is equivalent to the whole day's winding time of mode 3. In 3 hours, not to mention the mode 3 is still up, 2 and 6 are constantly buffering. Therefore, Mode 4 is the easiest to wind up. Especially for the common 2-day chain, the power released by the 9-hour stoppage will soon pass the chain again in the next cycle. This has a long-term attenuation of cracks in the inner wall of the movement barrel, and the mainspring of the entry-level movement of ordinary materials will also accelerate fatigue due to excessive winding.

Here comes the key points:

3. Almost no one cares about the inclination of the turntable. It is not mentioned in all the articles on the Internet, but it is very important. I’m here to talk about it exclusively: Don’t choose a vertical dial. The mode of this kind of dial is the reason that the dial is 0° perpendicular to the ground. The vertical automatic gyro is perpendicular to the gravity of the earth, which makes it easier to drive the clockwork excessively. On the chain. It is not like a turntable inclined at 45° on the ground. It also tilts when the shelf is full. I used the Tissot 2824 movement that was disassembled and practiced to oil the automatic wheels in advance according to the official standard, and put it into the winder when the state is OK. Observed by the instrument, the automatic top stopped spinning when the 45° turntable was fully chained. When I erected the watch winder so that the turntable was perpendicular to the ground, the automatic top started to "work" again, and it was properly overwound. Rhythm.

4. Power supply

In fact, most of the distributed power supplies are of average quality, and long-term plug-in is not as safe as using batteries. With the low power consumption advantage of Mabuchi Motor, two AA alkaline batteries can last at least half a year.

Basically, I have said that there is no difference, and you can add more corrections.

What are the factors that affect the measurement accuracy of the watch winder

Image
 The precision required to process the zero dimension is also the tolerance of the large tolerance, the large tolerance is low precision, the tolerance is small, the precision is high; referred to as "precision", commonly used standard deviation (SD or S); in relative analysis, commonly used RSD stands for precision. It can also be referred to simply as accuracy. Describe the degree of dispersion of measurement data. Precision is another component of accuracy, and an important part of it. Precision is the degree of agreement between independent measurement results under specified conditions. Accuracy: Refers to the degree to which the corresponding and true values ​​of multiple measurements under certain experimental conditions are consistent, expressed in error. In actual work, it usually uses standard materials or standard methods for control tests. When there is no standard material or standard method, it often adds pure substances of the components to be tested for recove

 A watch friend often asks: I have several watches, it is impossible to wear them every day, should I buy a watch winder? I heard that if the watch winder is used too much, it will damage the movement. Should I use it or not? Today, ME Time will talk about this topic, whether to use the meter winder and its pros and cons. What is a watch winder ? The automatic mechanical watch moves by swinging the arm and placing the gyro to rotate the drive core to provide power for the movement of the watch. If it stops, it proves that the power is gone. In this case, you need to gently turn back and forth for a few minutes or manually wind the parts to make the parts. Do not stay in a static state for a long time to ensure the running performance of the watch, and the watch winder is designed and developed precisely according to the principle of the operation of a mechanical watch. Under what circumstances should I use a watch winder? Many watch friends of the aforementioned automatic mechanical wa

The watch winder is mainly for those who insert a self-winding mechanical watch and do not exercise much during the day. Automatic winding watch, if you do not have enough exercise during the day, sometimes sitting in the office or classroom, and rarely walking, the power is not enough in most cases. In this case, you can buy a watch winder and wind your watch at night . If the amount of exercise is sufficient, it is not necessary. If the automatic mechanical watch is not worn continuously, it will cause the oil in the movement to freeze and affect the time. If it is not continuously worn, it can be placed in the automatic winding box. After the watch is properly stored, it can also be automatically wound to keep the watch running. . The watch winder is mainly for those who are self-winding mechanical watches, and at the same time does not have a lot of exercise . Self-winding hand watch, if you do not exercise enough during the day, sometimes sitting in the office or classroom, and r
