time, and then advance them to the exact time.

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
n TEMPERATURES
The key components in mechanical watches are made of metals, which expand or contract
depending on temperatures due to metal properties. This exerts an effect on the accuracy
of the watches. Mechanical watches tend to loss time at high temperatures while they
tend to gain time at low temperatures.
