Can automatic watches last forever?

Automatic watches, like any mechanical device, have a limited lifespan and will eventually need to be repaired or replaced. However, with proper care and maintenance, an automatic watch can last for many years and even decades.

To help ensure the longevity of your automatic watch, there are a few things you can do:

• Keep the watch clean and dry. Avoid exposing the watch to water or moisture, and clean the watch regularly with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime.

• Wind the watch regularly. Automatic watches are powered by the movement of your wrist, but they also have a small reserve of power that can be replenished by manually winding the watch. By winding your watch regularly, you can help ensure that it is running smoothly and accurately.

• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can cause the watch to malfunction or stop working altogether.

• Have the watch serviced regularly. Most automatic watches should be serviced every 3-5 years to ensure that all of the components are functioning properly and to identify and fix any issues before they become more serious.

By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that your automatic watch lasts for many years to come.
