Why doesn't a mechanical watch run accurate to the second?

Why are mechanical watches never accurate to the second?

Mechanical watches are made up of many finely tuned components that work together purely mechanically.

Unlike quartz watches, they aren't electronically controlled. That's why small deviations can occur.

The accuracy of a mechanical watch is influenced by things like:

• Temperature
• Position of the watch
• Wearing habits
• Intensity of movement
• Power reserve
• Manufacturing tolerances

These slight fluctuations are normal and are simply part of the character of mechanical movements.

However, if your watch is noticeably fast or slow, feel free to contact our customer service. We'll then check whether a regulation makes sense.
