Watch Demagnetiser – Fix a Magnetised Watch in Seconds

The Problem: Magnetism in Mechanical Watches

Mechanical watches contain hundreds of tiny parts. The most sensitive is the hairspring, which can become magnetised if exposed to everyday sources of magnetism.

When this happens, the coils of the spring stick together, making the watch run fast—or in severe cases, stop completely.

Even though modern alloys like Nivarox are designed to resist magnetism, iron and nickel in the material mean no mechanical watch is 100% safe.

The Solution: Demagnetisation

The good news is that magnetism rarely causes permanent damage. A watch demagnetiser restores your watch in just seconds.

• Affordable: usually €40 / £35 / US$49

• Fast: takes only a few seconds

• Safe: no harm to the movement

• Reliable: can be repeated if needed

Any watchmaker can perform the service, but having a demagnetiser at home means you can fix the issue instantly.

Everyday Sources of Magnetism

Magnets are everywhere. Common culprits include:

• Smartphones, tablets, laptops

• Handbags with magnetic clasps

• Speakers, headphones, TVs

• Airport scanners and MRI machines

• Security alarm contacts on doors/windows

• Retail security tag removers

How to Check if Your Watch is Magnetised

A simple test with a compass works every time:

• Place your watch near the needle.

• If the needle moves, your watch is magnetised.

How This Demagnetiser Works

⚙️ Inside the unit is a coil that generates an alternating magnetic field.
When you press the red button, the field cancels out any magnetism in the hairspring or steel parts, restoring the watch to normal.

How to Use It

1. Plug in the unit (110–220V worldwide).

   • Supplied with a North American mains plug

   • Works with a simple adapter in the UK, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, and worldwide.

   • A European version is also available (search demagnetiser on our site).

2. Place your watch flat on the blue surface (dial up).

3. Press and hold the red button.

4. Slowly raise the watch vertically about 20–30 cm away.

   • The slow movement allows the magnetic field to fade out cleanly.

5. Release the button once clear.

6. Check accuracy. Repeat if necessary.

Important Notes

• Don’t hold the button for more than a few seconds at a time (the coil may heat up).

• Keep phones, cards, and electronics away while in use.

• You can also demagnetise tools such as screwdrivers and tweezers.

✅ Quick, safe, and affordable — the easiest way to fix a magnetised mechanical watch.
