like others have said, very beautiful and artfully done, all while being informative. I felt like I was shrunk down and put inside my watch!

Cool looking timepiece !

Fantastic videos... 👍

This is the best animation I've ever seen, superb job!

Thank you very much for this video you have done a fantastic job of showing me clearly what I have just started self studying. I have subscribed and look forward to watching your other videos.

Great! When I first learned about the works of movements this was nonexistent. So it took time... This video should make this understanding a breeze. Fantastic job!

시계관련 동영상 찾고있었는데 도움이 많이 됬네요 고마워요.

One question. The balance wheel push the fork or the fork pushes the balance wheel ?

In automatic watches, there's a rotor that oscillates with the movement of the watch, be it from the movement of the wearer's arm, or it being manually shaken. When the rotor oscillates, the movement winds the spring and keeps it constantly wounded. In watches that are purely mechanical with no rotor, the spring must be wound manually by the owner through the crown. When the power reserve is out (the spring has run out of energy) it has to be wound up again.

still dont get how the stem engages and causes the system to wind. perhaps less colors

amazing I've always understood a watch movement but never has it been presented so clearly!

gnarly friction

it has some sort of pendulum, that provides the energy for it to move, if you leave the watch without moving, i'd suppose it would just stop after a while

is that cycloidal gear tooth profile ?

is it an animation of an automatic watch?

Very good! thank you!

The power that keeps the balance wheel moving comes from the main spring.

What is difference between the arrangement of wheels in watch with sub second hand and watch with centre second?

Nice animation

well done, great work on this video

👍👍👍👍👍

Eu gosto muito de relógios desde a minha infância. Eles me fascinam, eu fico maravilhado com eles. Já possuí os melhores do Mundo. Engenharia de movimento, mecânica e de precisão.

How did you create the animation of the spring ?? with which software did u make it ? thx

How is it possible that the balance wheel keeps oscillating? The spring would run out of energy at some time (i'm not saying this is impossible, i just can't out why the tourbillon keeps spinning) Someone explain this please.

You seem to know one or 2 things. I understand what you are saying but there is no gear between the tourbillon and the mainspring. The only link between the tourbillon and the movement is the escapement wheel and the escapement fork, So how does the escapement wheel transfer energy to the tourbillon? i'm guessing the impact force of the escapement wheel on the fork is the force that keeps the tourbillon spinning. (like Jules Audemars explanation i just found on youtube)

Very nice animation. It would have been even better with voice explanations

Yes it is. The auto-rotor is not shown, only it's bearing.

Great !!

Hey man. This is an amazing video. I have an event coming up for a brand that I'm working with. Do you mind if i use this video as a backdrop?

quase perfeito, não fosse o movimento do balanço ser contrário da espiral. mas, porém parabéns, grande exemplificação, parabéns!...

When they showed how the main spring is winding up that thing that locks the spring did not moove.

The mainspring causes the whole thing.. and all that stored energy is transferred to the balance wheel. The pallet fork's jewels in its arms are angled in such a way that the escapement wheel (which is directly driven via gears by the spring) actually launches the fork to one side, driving the balance wheel. This is how it keeps its momentum: half an oscillation is driven by the spring via the escapement wheel/pallet fork, and the other half is driven by it's own hairspring.

clearly visualized

El mejor de muchos ejemplos que he visto en youtube

Saludos

Hi, I think you are mistaking the balance for a tourbillon, they are two different things. The watch in the animation does not have a tourbillon. If you do mean the balance wheel, then it receives it's impulse from the escape wheel acting upon the impulse face of the pallets which causes the notch in the fork to strike the impulse pin on the roller which is attached to the balance staff.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenteresting

Very good. Thank's.

still doesn't clearly explain how the escape wheel, transfers the energy through the fork and jewels to the balance wheel to keep the hair spring oscillating.

Brasil

stop calling it the tourbillon the tourbillon is something else. the flywheel keeps running because a little bit of the main spring's energy got transferred to it via the oscilatting fork and its energy is got directly from the escapment teeth which are attached to a set of gears via an axis pin.

Oops... The hairspring dilatation / contraction is inverted relative to balance wheel rotation...

Guard Pin miles away???..lol

Great animation

EXELENTE DISEÑO DE UN CALIBRE AUTOMATIZADO COMPLICADO

Still not explaining how the entire system works.

L'armonia del movimento meccanico dell'orologio, può essere paragonato all'armonia che regna nell'intero universo; chi direbbe che il movimento dell'orologio é frutto del caso? Così pure non può dirsi casuale l'armonia che regna nell'universo.

......wat?
