👉 The watch fluid, also known as watch oil or lubricant, is a crucial component in mechanical watches that ensures the smooth and precise movement of the watch's gears and escapement mechanism. This viscous liquid reduces friction between moving parts, allowing the watch to run reliably and accurately over extended periods without needing frequent winding. Typically made from a blend of mineral oils, silicones, and other additives, the fluid maintains its lubricating properties even under varying temperatures and pressures, contributing to the longevity and performance of the watch.
