‭1‬‭How‬‭does‬‭a‬‭mechanical‬‭watch‬‭work?

‭2‬‭All‬‭mechanical‬‭watches‬‭have‬‭5‬‭elements.‬

‭ ‬‭You‬‭can‬‭see‬‭them‬‭based‬‭on‬‭this‬‭watch.‬
3
‭1‬‭Energy‬‭first.‬
‭2‬‭Wheels‬
‭3‬‭Escapement.‬
‭4‬‭controller.‬
‭5‬‭time‬‭indication.‬

‭4‬‭Energy:‬‭All‬‭watches‬‭need‬‭a‬‭source‬‭of‬‭energy‬‭to‬‭operate‬‭.‬

‭1‬‭Winding‬‭mechanism:‬‭Daily‬‭winding‬‭by‬‭hand.‬
‭2‬‭spring‬‭stores‬‭energy‬
‭3‬‭Barrel:‬‭stores‬‭energy.‬

‭5‬‭Wheels:‬‭Transfer,‬‭energy‬‭through‬‭the‬‭watch‬

‭But‬‭what‬‭stops‬‭the‬‭wheels‬‭from‬‭spinning‬‭out‬‭of‬‭control?‬

‭6‬‭Exhaust‬‭prevents‬‭energy‬‭from‬‭being‬‭spent‬‭all‬‭at‬‭once.‬

‭Escape‬‭wheel:‬‭Turns‬‭step‬‭by‬‭step‬

‭Anchor‬‭paddles:‬‭Blocking‬‭and‬‭unlocking‬‭the‬‭escape‬‭wheel.‬

‭Teeth‬‭of‬‭the‬‭escape‬‭wheel:‬‭We‬‭press‬‭against‬‭the‬‭pallets.‬

‭7‬‭The‬‭anchor‬‭fork‬‭Works‬‭with‬‭the‬‭paddle‬‭pin.‬

‭8‬‭The‬‭oscillations‬‭of‬‭the‬‭balance‬‭control‬‭the‬‭escapement.‬

‭The‬‭pendulum‬‭swings‬‭in‬‭both‬‭directions.‬

‭The‬‭spiral‬‭spring‬‭maintains‬‭regular‬‭oscillations.‬
‭9‬‭Time‬‭indicator‬
‭The‬‭dial‬‭and‬‭the‬‭hands‬‭for‬‭indicating‬‭the‬‭time‬

‭The‬‭pavement‬‭carries‬‭the‬‭minute‬‭hand.‬

‭‬

‭They‬‭are‬‭mainly‬‭used‬‭as‬‭bearings‬‭in‬‭a‬‭watch‬‭movement‬‭to‬‭reduce‬‭the‬
‭friction‬‭between‬‭a‬‭watch's‬‭mechanical‬‭components‬‭protecting‬‭them‬‭from‬
‭getting‬‭worn‬‭out.‬

‭3‬
‭ esign:‬‭Engineers‬‭plan‬‭how‬‭the‬‭watch‬‭will‬‭work,‬‭deciding‬‭on‬‭the‬
D
‭movement's‬‭details.‬

‭ ovement‬‭Manufacturing:‬‭Precision‬‭machines‬‭create‬‭movement‬‭parts‬
M
‭like‬‭gears‬‭and‬‭springs.‬

‭ ovement‬‭Assembly:‬‭Watchmakers‬‭put‬‭together‬‭movement‬‭parts,‬
M
‭ensuring‬‭everything‬‭fits‬‭perfectly.‬

‭ ial‬‭and‬‭Hands:‬‭The‬‭watch‬‭face‬‭is‬‭made‬‭with‬‭intricate‬‭details,‬‭and‬‭hands‬
D
‭are‬‭attached‬‭to‬‭show‬‭the‬‭time.‬

‭ ase:‬‭The‬‭watch‬‭case,‬‭often‬‭made‬‭of‬‭materials‬‭like‬‭steel‬‭or‬‭gold,‬‭is‬
C
‭crafted‬‭and‬‭polished‬‭for‬‭a‬‭stylish‬‭finish.‬

‭ inal‬‭Assembly:‬‭The‬‭movement‬‭is‬‭placed‬‭inside‬‭the‬‭case,‬‭and‬‭the‬‭watch‬
F
‭is‬‭carefully‬‭assembled.‬

‭ uality‬‭Control:‬‭Each‬‭watch‬‭undergoes‬‭rigorous‬‭testing‬‭to‬‭ensure‬
Q
‭accuracy‬‭and‬‭durability.‬

‭ ackaging:‬‭Once‬‭approved,‬‭the‬‭watch‬‭is‬‭carefully‬‭packed,‬‭ready‬‭to‬‭be‬
P
‭shipped‬‭and‬‭worn‬‭with‬‭elegance‬
