What are the main parts inside the watch movement?

There are five main operating parts inside the movement of the watch, such as Center Wheel, Third Wheel, Fourth Wheel, Pallet Fork, and Escape Wheel. They are all indispensable, and each is an important support point that enables the watch to function and travel properly. You know what they do, let's take a look at what they do inside the watch movement.

What is the point of Watch Hairspring?

The hairspring provides restoring force to the balance wheel, enabling isochronal oscillations. It is a flat spiral spring that breathes at each vibration of the balance wheel. The spring itself was originally made from steel or gold, and today is made from temperature resistant alloys or silicon.

Why do watches have jewelry in them?

Wheels in a watch are constantly rotating while a watch is running. Wheels rotate on their pivots, which are thin posts on both ends of the pinion. This constant rotation causes friction, which in turn causes mechanical wear. To reduce friction and wear, the pivots rotate in synthetic sapphire jewels. Sapphire is used because of it’s hardness; only diamond is harder.
Do you know the Gear Train? - Wishdoit Watches

Do you know the Gear Train?

gear train is a mechanical system formed by mounting gears on a frame so the teeth of the gears engage. Gear teeth are designed to ensure the pitch circles of engaging gears roll on each other without slipping, providing a smooth transmission of rotation from one gear to the next.
How do mechanical watches store energy? - Wishdoit Watches

How do mechanical watches store energy?

Mechanical watches are powered by a coiled spring known as a mainspring. As this spring uncoils, the amount of time that the watch can run diminishes. This remaining amount of time is referred to as the power reserve, winding indication, or up/down indication. An indication turning through an angle or a linear indicator appears on the dial to display the power reserve, similar to a car’s fuel gauge.

Do you know the Dual Time?

A dual-time watch has two hour hands in order to indicate time in two different time zones. This complication is popular with travelers, as it allows the wearer to set a “home” time zone for quick reference. The second hour hand is sometimes referred to as the GMT or UTC hand.

Under normal circumstances, all-steel watches will not rust, but everything is relative. There are many types of stainless steel. The sweat excreted by the human body contains hydrochloric acid. If the watch is worn on the hand, if it is eroded by sweat for a long time or the acid, alkali and salt dirt is allowed to accumulate without being wiped off, rust spots will gradually appear on the watch case, especially in the low recesses of the back cover.
