A conventional watch movement is both crazy and brilliant. It's a miracle that such an apparently haphazard arrangement of components can actually work, yet alone keep excellent time. A striking clock movement (s) with going train, striking train and chiming train is even more insane. But it works! Nobody can look at this video and not love watches... Thank you for this! 👍🙂👋

Nothing haphazard about the arrangement, but rather it is meticulously deliberate.

Excellent video. One tiny point: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

showed my son this clip and he was amazed. To think all these elements are made at such a micro scale its astonishing! love mechanical timepieces

That's a great presentation and makes understanding how a mechanical movement works fairly easy to understand. Despite watch movement technology being hundreds of years old it is still captivating and genius engineering. Many people are enjoying wearing mechanical watches, even in these digital times, because clearly a mechanical watch has something of a soul. In short it's man's attempt at constructing a beating heart.

Hey Hans, thank you so much, that is very nice to read and I’m glad it was useful for you! The animation work was insanely time consuming (I’m not a pro at it, at all) but with what you wrote, yes, I may follow up with a few important complications as well then in the future 😄🙏

You should make more content and advertise more, because they are really good. While other youtubers talk BS your content is really interesting.

Thanks for this informational video! Could be added, that the wheels turn exactly how they need to turn to let the hands show the time 😉 How long did it take to make all that animations?

Thank you very much for the kind feedback and the addition! 😄 This took around three weeks (full time days) to make, using Blender. I’m sure someone more experienced can do this much quicker, but this took me a ton of time as I don’t do this type of animation very often at all! I also spent quite some time on the sound design 😁 Edit: I also have to add that it took several days just to render as I have limited computing power here. And I had to render quite often as I kept running into issues or mistakes which meant starting things over :-) As I said - I was not the most efficient with this!

Its easy to understand how a mechanical watch works . But a Quartz watch not easy to understand ftom A to Z especially the intigrated circuit. Without the knowledge of electronics.

Did you use any specific movement for your 3D model?

Great animation but the background and music are super creepy

That's great. Is the narrator Québécois? I hear a slight accent.
