Will the mechanical watch stop if it is too cold?

The mechanical watch is too cold to stop.

Mechanical watches can usually be divided into the following two types: manual winding and automatic winding. The power source of these two machines is driven by the clockwork in the movement, which drives the gear and then pushes the watch hands, but the power source is different.

Manual winding mechanical watches rely on manual winding as the power, and the thickness of the movement is thinner than that of ordinary automatic winding watches, so the weight of the watch is relatively light. On the other hand, self-winding watches use the power generated by the left-right swing of the automatic turntable of the movement to drive the clockwork, but relatively speaking, the thickness of manual winding watches is smaller than that of automatic winding watches.

Mechanical watches, as precise mechanical timing instruments and decorative articles, must be practical and decorative at the same time. Good quality watches are accurate, easy to use, exquisite in workmanship and beautiful in appearance. They can be wound continuously for more than 36 hours and are durable. Some watches are also waterproof, shockproof and antimagnetic.
