How a Mechanical Watch Works

3-Second Blueprint (English)

1. Stores mechanical energy in a coiled mainspring barrel while a sliding pinion and yoke switch the crown between winding and setting.
2. Transmits torque through the center, third, and fourth wheels using press-fit cannon pinions to drive hour, minute, and second hands.
3. Meters power at 21,600 beats per hour via a hairspring-driven balance wheel, pallet fork, and escape wheel with regulator pins.
