    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.

    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 ?

    • @jparker1901
      @jparker1901 Před 2 lety +1

      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.

    I thought the middle wheel was minute wheel because the big one is slower? But that's just how I imagine it anyway

    • @pauggle8853
      @pauggle8853 Před 3 lety

      The transmission is speeding up through the wheels, so the first wheel is the slowest.

      Look for the work of John Harrison. He wasn't a scientist, but mad enough as to create the most accurate watch in 1761.

    • @johnsamu
      @johnsamu Před 6 lety +2

      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.
