That is one heck of an impact! I knew they would have some form of influence on mechanical pieces but to stop them is nuts haha. I guess this is something that we as watch collectors really need to look into. Thanks for sharing Cameron!
A few years ago, I thought my favorite automatic needed repair because it suddenly was gaining several minutes a day. Then I realized I'd just been working on an electrical test setup with 4/0 cables carrying 800 amps at 1.2 volts DC. My demagnetizer made the watch good again.
Are you asking about watch winders and their motors potentially creating a magnetic field that interrupts the watches timing? I have never had this issue, but maybe their are inexpensive winders that could cause this problem. might just need a better quality winder with the motor shielded and running more efficiently.
Demagnetizers are a relatively simple electronic device and they have been around for well over 100 years. If you think about it we didn't need demagnetizers until we started building things with electromagnets in them. Very few elements are magnetic enough and commonly found that they would magnetize a watch in the very olden days before electricity.
@@thewatchmakersworkshop thx. You and others falt that i ll soon start my new hobby. After getting to old to fix cars and build houses. I just got triggert a couple of weeks ago. Thx 4 that.
Thank you for this amazing demonstration and explanation. Your videos have such clarity and depth!
I enjoy listening to you and learning interesting facts about watches. Thank you. Peace 💫
Another terrific video by Cameron. Keep them coming please. T)
Excellent demonstrations.

Did not realize the amplitude will drop. When my watch has been magnetized it gains significantly.
Thank you, Cameron. Great info. Any advice on those of us using a magnet based oscillator? I wonder if that affects an automatic watch. Thanks!

How they demag befor demgs? Did they at all? Lets say 100 years ago.
