What EVERY Watch Collector Should Own and Know - How I Fixed My Seiko Running Fast with Demagnetizer

Today I share the issue of magnetism on your mechanical watches. I discuss how I removed magnetism from my own Seiko and got it working back to normal with the use of some very affordable kit that can be found very easily online.

More than ever, our environment is exposed to magnetic fields on a daily basis. These sources include: cellular telephones, magnetic closure systems for handbags, glasses cases, wallets, refrigerators, and cupboards, office equipment, anti-rheumatic bracelets, magnets, speakers, landline telephones, televisions, computers and tablets, laptop computers, audio and video systems, MP3s, microwave ovens, hair-dryers, hi-fi equipment, domestic appliances, and induction hobs. Consequently, it is quite common to magnetize a watch unwittingly.

The exposure of your watch to magnetic fields may interfere with its normal operation, whether you own a mechanical, automatic or quartz model.

Although these fields are not damaging to your timepiece, their influence can affect its accuracy or even stop the watch completely. The major effects of magnetism on a watch are quite clear. Under the influence of a low-intensity magnetic field, a slight disturbance of the watch's normal functioning may be noticed.

However, a strong magnetic field may have an effect on the movement of a mechanical watch and alter the normal functioning of the balance spring. Steel components are even more sensitive to magnetism and create magnetic fields inside the movement. The watch's functioning could then undergo significant interference, or even stop completely in the magnetic field.

A quartz watch may have its functioning disturbed or may lose time or even stop completely for several seconds when it enters a strong magnetic field, although it will resume its normal functioning as soon as it emerges from the field concerned. This disturbance consequently only continues for as long as your watch is at the heart of the magnetic field.
How Can You Tell?
By placing your watch next to a compass you can easily detect whether is has been magnetized or not. If the hands of the compass start to turn as you move your watch caseback around next to it, this means that it is magnetized
Traditional demagnetizers work fairly simply: magnetic fields produced by direct currents are different to those produced by alternating currents. A demagnetizer requires an alternating current to remove the magnetic field from the watch; it does this by rapidly changing directions of the current, which changes the orientation of the magnetic field. This in turn causes the dipoles to end up in a random order, rendering the watch demagnetized.

Completing this procedure, the watch movement (or individual components) are placed within the demagnetizer and slowly drawn away from the machine, thus reducing the magnetic field.

Usually, after one operation the watch or component will be free of all magnetic fields, but in rare cases the operation will need to be performed again.
