- In a universe of chaos, time seeks to bring order. It's a manmade concept, completely contrary to the randomness of nature, yet we as a species have sought to perfect it for millennia. Today we have digital, atomic solutions to finding ever more accurate ways of keeping an even beat, but before the electronic age, mechanical was king. Reliable, precise and without a volt or amp to be seen, the mechanical watch is both a historical wonder and modern treasure. But how, exactly, does it work?

I left my comment 5 years ago 🤪 Bit of a quirky move to go back in the archive to find content…
this guy can sell snow to eskimos...
MAYBE HE COULD SELL YOU A $20,000 WATCH ? Ill take the $150 imitation
I am astonished by the vocabulary that you use in every video. It is perfectly put together !
"In a universe of chaos, time seeks to bring order. It's a man-made concept, completely contrary to the randomness of nature. Yet, we as a species have sought to perfect it, for millennia." - what's his name
Amazing quotation. Following to know the answer
Your voice is so calming. You need your own TV show.
Sometimes, perfect isn't always perfect. Sometimes, things just need a little pinch of that universal chaos to get them right.
Well done, Sir.
Amazing video! I've been looking to learn about mechanical movements for a while now, and this video does the perfect job of explaining how it works as well as it's historical importance. Excellent visuals and narration. Many thanks!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
your knowledge is unbelievable.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks for watching!
Just basic phisics man, didn´t go to school?
@@jf9669 "Just basic phisics man"
I personally wouldn't credit this video with even "basic" physics. This video used physics related words but the author of the video displayed an appallingly poor understanding of what these words meant.
The mainspring did not take the place of the pendulum; the balance wheel and balance spring (or hairspring) take the place of the pendulum. The mainspring takes the place of the weights used to power pendulum clocks.
The way "momentum" is used in the video makes me think the author doesn't understand momentum beyond it being the product of mass and speed.
Momentum is conserved when a bullet is shot from a gun. The recoiling gun has the same magnitude of momentum as the bullet leaving the gun. I think it's very clear the bullet does more damage than the recoiling gun. Saying a small rock at high speed does the same damage as large rock at low speed (it's implied they have the same momentum) goes to further illustrate the the author doesn't have a good understanding of physics.
The conservation of energy is much more important to the workings of a mechanical watch than conservation of momentum.
The energy of the balance wheel and hairspring is constantly changing between kinetic energy (the motion of the wheel) and potential energy (the compressed spring). Earlier pendulum clocks also used a constantly changing energy state as well. In pendulum clocks the kinetic energy of the swinging pendulum is converted to potential energy of the pendulum weight being elevated in a gravitational field.
@N A So which of my corrections were incorrect?
The narrator's education level doesn't change the fact there were really bad physics errors made in the video.
@N A "the slow/high speed stone example was a good analogy."
So you think it doesn't matter if you get a kick from a rifle stock or hit by a bullet? They both have the same momentum after all.
"This isn’t a physics video and I assume most people watching this aren’t physicists."
If everyone watching the video were physicists, it wouldn't do any damage.
"Let it go my man..."
Hey, I let it go a month ago. You're the one who brought it back up.
Outstanding video. So much valuable info and great editing.
you should get an oscar for your work! its amazing!
We'd enter the 'CZcams videos under 10 minutes' category!
You are an amazing person. In this modern chaos that we are living in, here come people like you to refine what real values are. To refine the simplicity, but yet, the beauty of the original complexity that hides behind it. To remember the origin, the source that shaped the technology we know and enjoy today.
In this era, most people tend to forget and ignore. They tend to see the product instead of caring to capture the concept and functions hidden inside it.
Thanks to few people like you, we recalibrate ourselves towards what really matters more: Authenticity and simplicity. It is not a coincidence the fact that whatever is classy and has longer functionality and lives longer, is the one that remains to the real purpose without further technological "fireworks". This goes for everything. Cars, clothes, watches, everything. Compare a classic car, to a today's full equiped car. An old Nokia cellphone, to a Samsung Galaxy. An old hand made leather jacket, to a modern industrial - machine stitched one. A classic mechanical pocket watch, to a "mambo jumbo" casio watch or an app watch. Which from all these shall live longer?
Thank you so much for this video! You reminded me what trully has more value!
Great video! This channel's content is very professional and educational. I'm enjoying it even when I'm familiar with the subject of the video. Great!
All the watchfinder videos are great .. I always look forward to what's next on the channel. keep up the great work ..
Thank you very much.
goodness. i was just randomly going through watch videos and wanted to learn about mechanical watches. i clicked on this and transferred tab to work but holy my ears were not ready for sweet sweet poetry. this is BY FAR the most beautifully worded review of anything i've ever heard/seen
Thank you for your channel. Simply wonderful in every way. I can not stop watching.
Romantic story and an interesting timepiece !
the most beautiful explanation about something mechanical
Stunning watch. Excellent macro photography and a very worthwhile video. Congrats all!
Always great videos, keep em coming
Excellent. Liked this video so much I watched it twice!
Keep doing a great job, real pleasure to watch
Amazing video, concise and too the point without any confusing technical jargon. I now also want to take a look at some Breguet watches...
Thanks for the information! Great video.
Just wow! The perfection, time that went into this masterpiecece it’s breathtaking! Great video
Another great video - excellent writing and delivery.
Thank you!
This is an awesome video! Thank you
u give your 100% in getting the right example for every explanation.
ur narration is worth it..
the way you put forth the arguments , present your self ,perfection indeed.....this mechanical movement of some sort of engineering marvel....it is put together so well must say.....
one of the most beautiful videos i,ve ever come across, thank you !
You're a true Missionary of fine timepieces to the best watch fans. Long live Watchfinder & Co.
I can't stop watching these video's, love the way you talk with love about watches.
Great explanation...thanks...
SO glad I found this channel. CZcams at it's best. Tho I'll have to watch this a few more times to Really understand it as a newbie.
"Sometimes perfect isn't always perfect."
Beautiful video!
Absolutely brilliant!
FANTASTIC. LOVE THE EXPLAINATION
very well narrated. I am a film maker and loved the way how you narrated and whoever wrote this piece sure knows a thing about creating poetry in narration. . good work
So well written. Well done.
What an amazing video. Would recommend it to anybody who question why few of us fancy a mechanical time piece over a 'smart' watch.
what a beautiful video,the story,the filming,lights,the narrator....so beautiful
Good job! Bravo.
Thank you for this outstanding video and lesson!
Love these watchfinder videos
I know why I'm about to comment doesn't have to do with how the movement works, but you have the greatest camera ever. Aside your knowledge and explanation, the visualisation we get is incredible. Making it easier to understand. Thank you for sharing with us
It's fun just to see a beautiful watch while getting a refresher of how mechanical movements work. I would love to see you do this kind of breakdown showing how a Seiko Spring Drive looks in action and works!
What a great video, thank you!
Great vídeo!
Exceptional description. Cheers.
Beautiful piece!
for some reasons your videos makes me calm
Beautiful. A video on the George Daniels escapement?
We have quite a few co-axials we could have a look inside perhaps, good idea.
superb watch. superb video
Poetic as well as technical. Thanks!!
Another customary exquisite and enlightening Watchfinder presentation!
Very enjoyable film. Thank you.
Excellent video and exquisite watch example.
Thank you very interesting video. Love them all.
Amazing review loved it
Great videos and great knowledge. It's really satisfying to see your videos....
I like to come back to this video at least once a year. It is not only didactical and with good information regarding how a mechanical watch works. It is great in terms of its narrative. Impecable work.. Would love to know the person behind the script.
Excellent video keep up the good work...
Your amazing voice made this watch brand certainly believed.. Amazing
This is my new favourite channel
I'm an avid watch collector and general WIS and still loved this video and thought it was very well explained. Great job. Thumbs up and sub'd.
Nice watch, and review!
Your script was great. Thanks for the video.
Definitely interested in a look at the Bulova watches. I've seen Dave from the EEV blog look at one but I would love a more intricate look at it!
What a timepiece my favorite watch of all time. Just the perfect equation of time 😍
One the best pioneers ever. Greatness.
Excellent presentation.
Thanks for the shout out to Snooker!! not too many people in America even know about that sport, but it is one of my favorites to watch
I was confused at first, but then realized the guy messed up: It's not conservation of momentum, but energy. Kinetic energy of the moving escape wheel converts into potential energy of the hairspring and stops the wheel, then converts to kinetic energy to let the escape wheel move again.
Great video , and also presentation
Beautiful, brilliant and very informative presentation,of one of the most ingenious creation of humanity...the mechanical watch!
That philosophical soliloquy at the end was beautiful lol!
Excellent video
What a lovely video
You're a creator, such a masterpiece of a video. loved every line you said.
Wonderful video please do a review on jaeger-lecoultre perpetual calendar
This a beautiful video
thank you!!!
Please make detail review of Seiko Chronograph spc 131 p with the picture of the movement
Hi, do you think that Fillipo Loretti watches are worth buying?
This could be one of the most important videos I've ever seen.
This channel is very much one of CZcams's hidden gems.
(April 2018) - I appreciated your metaphors explaining the escapement function. Perfect! But I'm still a little lost on the transfer of movement from the escapement to the watch hands moving so carefully.
Good work...
One ☝️ of the best videos on the mechanics 🧰 of time
Now id love to see a video about old pin-lever movements vs jeweled movements.
Amazing 👌
This video is a concise celebration of the Humanities!
More like a celebration of mechanical engineering in miniature, imo.
That last statement about digital vs analog and perfection is SO true.
Imperfection is human, analog, tactile while perfection is quite the opposite.
Thank you . I do know how it works but I like to share my knowledge with other people . I have a Seiko 5 . A Orient Bambino . A Bulova automatic from 1950 and i just got a Hamilton field watch .
Perhaps I’m wrong, however i think that the physics principle you’re referring is conservation of energy, not momentum. This is because as the balance wheel loses kinetic energy (velocity) the balance spring gains potencial spring energy and in that moment when the velocity is 0, it starts releasing the energy and starts the cycle over again. You are correct to think in momentum because both mass and velocity are highly involved in the accuracy of the process but not quite in that way.
Indeed great video, as a mechanical engineer student this fascinates me and I highly appreciate this type of information that only adds to my love for watches and respect as complicated and precise mechanical pieces.
This channel is so classy and smooth! It reflects not only passion but professionalism. Please make a comparison between a $500 and a $5000 watch. (Finishing, materials, etc). Have and excellent day too.
Amamamamamazing video. Thank you. Won a sub.
I would like this watch!
Those 3 notes at the begining of the video raise hairs on the back of my neck. You guys should feature it more often.
I think this is an appropriate place to request a video on the F.P. Journe Optimum. I am a new subscriber and an avid collector. I have owned several Patek pieces, but ultimately settled on Journe. Larger size, offset dials, visible screws, all precious metal fabrication to include the movement make FPJ my grail. That said, I appreciate this piece from a pioneer and your vid is smashing 🐇
