thank you for this demonstration. im working on a watch face for a smartwatch and i wanted to know how to make the gears move to make the watch look realistic.

Lovely bit of animation - I wonder if we could discuss me using it in a course I am putting together?

I feel like this is just a different animation with the same dialog as the last video i just watched....still, neat video.

Nice try but HONESTLY if people don't see the balance wheel and pallet fork working in conjunction with the pallet teeth against the escapement they'll never get it.

Help me to understand from where is the power to make the first tic.
The clock is run out (the spring is unwinded). The clock is stop.
Fork is not moving, balance wheel is not spinning (balancing). The jewel is blocking the escape wheel by the last beat of the system.
We start winding the clock and the power from main spring starts to rotate the wheels one by one until the escape wheel is powered.
This is the magic moment.
HOW THE ESCAPE WHEEL MOVES THE FORK FOR THE FIRST TIC TO PASS THE ENERGY INTO THE HAIR SPRING IN THE BALANCE WHEEL WHEN THE JEWEL IS BLOCKING THE SYSTEM ?

Cool video. What software did you use to make the 3d animation?

Still doesn't explain how a watch can be wound and adjusted while it's in motion. Nobody seems to explain this crucial detail
