A hand-wound mechanical movement with 214 parts and no battery, beating eight times every second. The watch is showing your real time right now.
Keep scrolling. Under the dial, 214 parts work together to count every second without a battery.
The mainspring barrel stores energy. The gear train steps it down so the minute wheel turns exactly once an hour.
The main plate, the gear train, the escapement and the bridges. Each one is finished by hand, including surfaces nobody will ever see.
The balance wheel swings back and forth 4 times a second. On each swing, the escapement lets the gear train advance one tiny step: 28,800 steps an hour.
Move your cursor over the movement to use the watchmaker's loupe. Speed up time to see the minute wheel turn, or let the mainspring run down and watch the watch stop.
Choose a dial, a case and a strap. The watch updates live and keeps ticking while you decide.
I designed and built this concept site to show product storytelling, motion design and interactive graphics, with real mechanical engineering underneath. There's no watch for sale and no company behind it.
The movement is drawn and animated in code. Its gear ratios are real: the center wheel turns once an hour, the fourth wheel once a minute, and the escapement beats 8 times a second (28,800 per hour). The physical specs are realistic but made up.
