Reverse Engineering Mechanical Chronometry: Eliminating Workspace EMI and Mainspring Bridle Wear with Code
The article discusses the impact of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on automatic watches in modern work environments. It details how localized magnetic fields can affect the timekeeping accuracy of these watches and proposes solutions using advanced materials and algorithms. The author emphasizes the need for engineers to consider these factors in their workspace design to prevent mechanical degradation.
- ▪Localized electromagnetic interference can cause automatic watches to gain significant time, up to 40 minutes per day.
- ▪Traditional automatic watches are not designed to withstand the high magnetic fields present in modern workspaces, which can exceed 800 Gauss.
- ▪The author suggests using Mu-metal encapsulation to shield watches from magnetic interference and improve their accuracy.
