Excellent advice, thank you Alkiro.
Does anyone have a 1904 based watch and can comment on the accuracy? The first month of ownership was great. Gained/lost 1 second a week. I was very impressed/lucky. Then I went on holidays for six weeks and it remained unworn at home. It’s drifted ever since, although probably within COSC type parameters, until the last month.
Timekeeping issue 1904 MC-CH

Thanks Alkiro
I thought it could be that but doesn’t magnetisation usually speed up a watch, not slow it down? Maybe worth a try though, can that just be done at the boutique?

It sounds like a problem with the main spring
It can slow down as you have described and it will be progressive. So if you notice over the next few weeks you are losing gradually more seconds/day, more than likely it will be the main spring.
15 Seconds a day? I wouldn't bother.
I have the Drive de Cartier with a 1904 based caliber and I have to ajust that too, every few days. Must say that to me, it is not worth the trouble, to bring the watch back to the BTQ or dealer. GEO
