11. ical watches work more accurately it is important that the mainspring of the watch constantly supplies strong energy to every parts of the movement When the mainspring is fully wound up the accuracy is stabilized However if the spring gets unwound and supplied energy becomes less the parts controlling the accuracy get easily affected by outside environments and the accuracy also becomes unstable To stabilize the accuracy it is recommended to wind up the mainspring everyday at a fixed time Ihe elements which affect accuracy 2 Temperatures The parts that consist a mechanical watch movement are made of metals which expand or contract depending on temperatures The parts that control the accuracy 50 of the watch expand and move slightly slower in high temperature and the watch generally tends to lose time It tends to gain time in low temperature for the reverse reason Please understand such conditions before seeing the accuracy when temperature is extremely high or low such as midsummer or midwinter G The elements which affects accuracy 3 The difference by positions The position of the watch The parts of mechanical watch movement which control the accuracy are affected by the gravity of the earth Thus the rates of loss gain of the watch vary delicately depending on any position it is put in such as being placed horizontally or being laid at a 12 00 side with the crown turned up Use this character and be careful of the pos
