How a Mechanical Watch Works
Ever wondered how a mechanical watch works but been too afraid to ask? Well, have no fear, because Carson Chan, from the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie is here! From mainsprings to escapements, Carson runs through the fundamentals of a mechanical watch movement.

Nice class. Please keep it coming
That was a beautiful explanation. Thank you.
Great intro
Well explained, thank you.
great video!
Well done. Thank you.
Great video, very enlightening....
very cool thanks
please do it about the tourbillon
Tuna Vardar what is tourbillon?
Ask uncle google :)
A high end... Beautiful movement. Depending if its made correctly. An how its made... Memerizing to look at.... Most times...
@@ahmatissa4450 The pinnacle of craftmanship and for many people it would be a “holy grail” vvatch.
can i get design calculation of this mechanism plzz
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 ?
As the power runs down, eventually the balance amplitude reduces to almost nothing, but its neutral position with no power is with the roller jewel in the middle of the pallet fork horns, with the pallet fork centred. In this position, the pallet jewel angled face rests against the face of a tooth on the escape wheel, and a little torque on the escape wheel will push the pallet fork away setting the watch in motion.
When the roller jewel is disengaged from the pallet horns, the pallet lever mechanism is essentially bistable and should flick to one side or the other where the pallet jewels just lock the lever in place. For this reason, it is important to set the hairsping on the balance wheel so that in its neutral position it would hold the roller jewel in the centre of the horns as described above, otherwise (amongst other problems), it will be necessary to shake the watch to move the balance and set it in motion.
can u tell me the minimum rate of a watch
99.9K subs!??!?!?
Is it perpetual?
I'm more interested in energy loss aspect, I'm still don't understand how gear lost energy.
Friction.
اشكركم من كل قلبي. ولكن تكرموا بالترجمه للعربي. Thanks. For. Yuor. Put. Arpik
Theres another video with more information with accurate terminology
I thought the middle wheel was minute wheel because the big one is slower? But that's just how I imagine it anyway
The transmission is speeding up through the wheels, so the first wheel is the slowest.
there's an animated video that explains this way better somewhere on CZcams.
great comment
But does it have Carson The Man Chan in it? I didn't think so.
Marcus Flack No kidding. A video. On CZcams. Explaining this. Somewhere.
Wow.
There is a much better video on CZcams explaining this. It was made by the Hamilton watch company and is incredible for the year it was produced. m.czcams.com/video/rL0_vOw6eCc/video.html
True, its way better than this video
Someone had to be an insane mad scientist to invent this kinda shit
Look for the work of John Harrison. He wasn't a scientist, but mad enough as to create the most accurate watch in 1761.
If you dare to wear "a black heart"...there is no one like it. Oh "mechanical".
There's a movie from1949 that explains much better in detail then this movie.
johnsamu the Hamilton one? It’s amazing 😉
YES !! ;-) I am always surprised about the ability of previous generations to explain difficult mechanical concepts in a clear way. I studied mechanical engineering but some mechanical concepts were much better explained in old movies in the past then at college now. E.g. watch old Ford car company movies from 1930.. they explain the inner workings of a differential in a very clear and simple way.
And people dont believe on free energy
Ahhhhhh. Horology.
not well explain could have had an animation
Thank You. Hmmm...60% loss!
Awful.
not good at all
Useless - verbal explanation with a barely visible screen !!!!!!!
