      Its been on a long trend toward more relaxed, the suit when adopted at turn of 19C was Ive read seen as relaxed wear hence the name 'lounge suit'. With US influence and cultural hegemony post 60s people have in essence adopted American workwear along with its attitude of being relaxed and casual. I like the look of a suit, but it can be impractical, therefore Im not surprised at its decline. I think within next few decades it will become a garment only worn at special events, weddings and funerals and court cases)

    Regarding watches being affected by magnetism, Sinn customer service dept, in a study of 1000 watches, found that 60% were affected by magnetism, over 1/2 had severe defects caused by magnetism. In the face of such precise analysis, iI might be a good idea to use a small compass to check for magnetic fields in your work area.

    Unidirectional is superior for winding because when bidirectional changes direction, there is a gap of about 10-15 seconds till it starts winding again. However, unidirectional winding watches are slightly louder (a thick caseback and rubber protection helps reduce the noise). For sheer efficiency unidirectional is superior in capturing kinetic energy, by far.

    I would agree with Tim about the anti-magnetic properties. I work in a lab for powerful electronics and so far I don't have much issues because most of the electronics we use (everyone, not only me in the lab) have to be compliant with certain rules for electromagnetic compatibility. Just be careful and you should be safe in general! If you are concerned get a demagnetiser (I don't have one yet after wearing mechanical watches for years, that can say something) good work and I would like to hear some more music! :)

  • @demopem
    @demopem Před 3 lety +2

    About magnetism, I agree. There's is a risk, and it does happen, that the spring gets magnetized. But magnetic fields decrease rapidly by distance, so I see just one main area of caution in everyday life: Cooking. But there are many other reasons not to wear the watch then, heat, steam, hot grease flying around... so just don't wear the watch when cooking.
    Laptop speakers are sometimes mentioned, but it shouldn't be a problem unless you rest your wrist right on top of one. (Most laptops have the speakers near the rear, and not where you place your hands.)

    My wife's ladies Rolex has a screw down crown Tim. It is a dress watch so I don't think that the dress argument works. Omega Seamasters did not initially use a screw down as they did not hold the patent and they were prone to leakage. Incidentally, when I was in the Royal Navy we called the RAF crabs because of the colour of their uniforms, I am really sorry to say this because you have made a such nice job of the Crombie coat.

    Re: screw-down crowns: you have undermined your answer to the question by citing the Datejust having a screw-down crown (SDC). A SDC is superior in design and utility, which is likely why Rolex incorporates them into it's watches, even dress/sport watches like the Datejust. The questioner makes a valid point; we would be willing to pay a little more for the additional safety of a SDC. Only the wearer of a dress watch would know whether it has a SDC - they don't have to be big and clunky. The rationale of, "no SDC because it just doesn't fit" sounds like the father saying to his children, "no, just because I said so." I like the SDC concept (in case you couldn't tell). IMHO. Keep up the good work and keep at it! Thanks for the video.

    If it was that easy for the movement in your watch to become magnetized in the modern world, your run of the mill watch would include a faraday cage or anti-magnetic components.
    I think it's more don't stick your watch on top of a powerful speaker, don't take it in the room with a MRI machine, etc. And if you're an MRI tech (or radiologist I guess), well, buy one of the watches with antimagnetic properties instead. A bunch of Omega models use the same antimagnetic movement as the Railmaster.
