(2) Diagnose the faults of large steel wheels, small steel wheels, ladies' watches, ratchet wheels, and ratchet springs. The occasional ability to wind the watch using the winding stem indicates either a problem with the engagement between the large steel wheel and small steel wheel due to significant wear or excessive backlash, or the inability of the ratchet teeth to hold the large steel wheel due to wear, or loss of elasticity in the ratchet spring. Another issue could be the loosening of screws for the large steel wheel, small steel wheel, or ratchet wheel. The repair method involves replacing whichever component is faulty in the Cartier watch. If replacement isn't possible, restoration measures can be taken. For damaged components, annealing followed by restoration can be performed, and after resolving the issue, quenching treatment can be applied to restore the original condition.

(1) Repairing a Cartier watch begins with examining the winding and setting mechanism. First, use the winding crown to check if the watch starts running. If it does, move the gear outward one position and observe if there is any collision between the hour, minute, and second hands. Adjust the reasonable gap between them if necessary. If no collision occurs, check if there is any friction between the seconds hand and the Cartier watch glass, or between the hour hand and the Cartier watch face. If there is friction, adjust the gaps accordingly. If there's no friction, remove the hour, minute, and second hands to check if the hour wheel's outer diameter is aligned with the central hole of the dial. Following this diagnostic procedure will help identify issues related to the alignment of the three hands.

If a mechanical automatic winding watch hasn't been worn for some time, its power reserve may be depleted (42-48 hours depending on the model), causing the watch to stop. To restart the watch, manual winding is required. Depending on the model, first slightly loosen the crown and rotate it 30-40 times to provide sufficient power reserve to restore normal function.

Non-automatic mechanical watches need to be wound daily. Winding should continue until resistance is felt at the crown, indicating that the watch is fully wound. Be cautious not to forcefully overwind the crown of a manually wound watch to avoid damaging the mechanism.

(3) Diagnose the fault of the clutch wheel and small steel wheel. If a creaking sound is heard when winding with the winding crown, it suggests wear on the clutch wheel teeth and small steel gears, or excessive backlash at the tooth tip engagement. Repair method: Replace the clutch wheel and small steel wheel of the Cartier watch or restore the worn gears after annealing treatment, then perform quenching treatment on the annealed gears. Use polishing paste to treat any color changes in the metal caused by quenching.
