How a watch works video

I just saw this educational vintage video on how a watch works. It explains clearly, with the aid of large replica gear models, the intricate workings of a watch. It's worth watching. Skip to 3:15

Thanks for sharing!

This video is also very informative, however it is much shorter and it is playable in 720p HD.

Thank you so much for the link to the video. It certainly makes the inner workings of a watch a whole lot easier to understand.

Gives me better understanding to truly appreciate how complicated a watch is.
