Dealing with Watch Magnetization: An Easy Fix

Mechanical watches can consist of hundreds of intricate parts. When exposed to magnetic fields, these parts, particularly the hairspring, can become magnetized, causing the watch to malfunction. Fortunately, there's an easy and affordable solution to demagnetize your watch using a demagnetizer.

Why Magnetism Affects Watches:

• Vulnerable Components: The hairspring, even those made from Nivarox alloys (resistant to oxidation and supposed to be highly resistant to magnetic fields), can still be affected by magnetism. When magnetized, the coils of the hairspring stick together, causing the watch to gain time or even stop working altogether.
• Common Magnetic Sources: Everyday items and environments can expose your watch to magnetic fields, including airport scanners, MRI machines, smartphones, tablets, handbags with magnetic clasps, speakers, TVs, and security system door contacts.

Detecting Magnetization:

• Compass Test: Place your watch near a compass. If the compass needle moves, your watch is magnetized. This is a 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 around €40 / £35 / US$49.
• Dual Voltage: This demagnetizer is dual 220/110V, making it usable worldwide. It comes with a standard European plug. For use in the UK/Ireland/Malta/Cyprus, or other locations, simply use a readily available adapter. A version with a dedicated North American plug is also available on our website.

Customer Experience:

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.

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.

    Order and Shipment Confirmation

    You will generally receive two emails after placing an order:

    1. Confirmation of receipt of the order and payment.
    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.

      • 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.

    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.
