The Importance of Automatic Oiling
Mechanical watches require precise lubrication to function reliably. For NOMOS GLASHÜTTE timepieces, the correct application of oil to specific movement components is essential. Without proper lubrication, friction between moving parts accelerates wear and compromises long-term performance.
How Automatic Oiling Works
Automatic oiling delivers specialized oils to predetermined locations within the watch movement. This targeted application reduces friction and prevents accelerated wear on critical components. The technique requires trained watchmakers who understand the exact viscosity and placement needed for each part of the mechanism.
The Role of Oil in Watch Mechanisms
The balance wheel, escapement, and gear trains each have distinct lubrication requirements. Oil degrades over time and can migrate from its original position, necessitating periodic reapplication during routine servicing. Without scheduled maintenance, a watch’s accuracy and reliability deteriorate noticeably.
NOMOS GLASHÜTTE: A Commitment to Quality
NOMOS GLASHÜTTE watches demonstrate how systematic oiling protocols contribute to performance longevity. The brand’s approach to automatic oiling is part of a documented manufacturing standard that ensures consistency across every movement produced. The video “Made in Glashütte: 7.11. Automatic oiling” documents this process directly at the manufacture.
Expert Care for Your Timepiece
Owning a NOMOS GLASHÜTTE watch requires understanding its maintenance schedule. Regular servicing by certified watchmakers, including oil renewal, preserves both performance and resale value. A well-maintained movement will deliver accurate timekeeping and reliable operation for decades.
