How Does an Automatic Watch work? This video explain the Mechanism of Mechanical Watch (Manual/Automatic)
An automatic or self-winding watch is a type of Mechanical Watch in which the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of the natural motion of the wearer to provide energy to run the watch, making manual winding unnecessary. A mechanical watch which is neither self-winding nor electrically driven is called a manual watch. Most mechanical watches manufactured today are self-winding.

One of the best exploded animations of a watch movement ever

[@scdevon]

This is a $50 (or whatever) brand new on Ebay, too. That's the best part. The NH series movements are Seiko clones made by Seiko and cost even less.

[@RedlineCBR]

That video has to tug at the soul of any watch collector. To think of the minds and precision that go into a movement...utterly fascinating.

Meh, just copied work from previous generations but using modern technology which makes things easier

[@petechapman7821]

@Corat not really, undecorated movements with little complications, for the over inflated price of a sub you could get a second hand Lange or Jaeger-LeCoultre. Also absolutely nothing wrong with seiko, infact the build quality and finish of grand seiko far surpasses Rolex in every way.

[@tarzbaow]

@Corat Rolex has best marketing guys.

[@buzomatic]

If a picuture is worth a thousand words, then this video is worth 10,000. Best explaination of a mechanical watch I have ever seen.

[@tastethem]

Everyone is talking about the engineering (which I definitely agree with!), but the composer has also created a masterpiece!

[@MrFsandt]

Simple entry movements, without superfluous decoration, but robust, durable and efficient. It's just what matters for a good watch.❤🎉

[@AstrayDaisy]

Well said!

[@Chris-pb3se]

Really nice animation. In my experience, the one thing you need to stress so a person understands the mechanism is that while the balance pushes the pallet fork back and forth, the pallet forks shape allows it to push (add energy to) the balance wheel every time it releases from the escape wheel. Without understanding that hard to see piece, it appears that the balance is where the power is coming from.

[@ravensquote7206]

Well if we're looking at this like a tutorial vid rather than an exhibition of this particular product's quality, "How a Watch Works (1949) | Hamilton Watch" (on the channel of Hamilton Watch of course) blows this out of the water. As this video goes out of its way to mention three brand-specific features of THIS watch at the end (special alloy, shock absorbtion, wear-resistant self-winding mechanism) I'd think this video comes closer to an artist just showing off their work. Rightly so if I might add.

[@kenlaux127]

Finished the video and stared at my Sarb 035. Man I love Seiko.

[@raita_appi]

This is why I stopped wearing quartz movement & smart watches and started wearing automatic watches. This is amazing engineering and inspires me everytime I see that on my wrist. Mind blowing engineering because a simple mechanical gear train can store energy and use it to run almost accurate(+- 2s/day for swiss movements) time while absorbing day to day shocks forever. Did humans really build this?

Too few people have an appreciation for automatic mechanical watches... amazing engineering and craftsmanship in a tiny package.

[@JonnyParker-]

Some of Seiko's movements are better than the Swiss ones

[@nicholasmapes]

@@JonnyParker- I dont doubt it.

[@nicholasmapes]

I wonder why us Americans dont make a nice watch. Probably because there's nowhere to put the gas tank lol

Seiko’s have always been my favorites since I was a kid.

[@Mcguyver67]

That’s a beautifully made vid to tell a story of watch movement. The graphics are just out of this world. I knew watch mechanism are very complex but never knew is so beautiful. I own a OM SRP309 with 4r36 and just ordered a SZSC005 Jade Monster with 6r15. Just feel good to own Seiko watch. Cheers!

The animation is mesmerizing. Thanks to whoever worked on it and shared it with the world.

Absolutely amazing. Love Seiko automatics.

[@theresa42213]

Movements are a thing of absolute beauty! l love them all!!!

[@angelcd124]

It’s strange how a piece of soul is put into watchmaking and the watch movements will outlive the watchmaker and the wearer

[@danieleraso1]

Most of it is done by a machine, so no soul. However from an engineering point of view it is amazing the level of precision

[@monssefallali5213]

I love seiko watches from my childhood I take that from my father And always been fascinated by the automatic mechanism Now i have two wathes : a seiko and a D1 milano with a seiko automatic mvt I’m completely satisfied and happy with them.

Bahkan brand yang lebih besar dari Seiko ga bikin video ilustrasi sebagus ini. Gw nonton ini udah lama banget dan berkali kali, masih aja ga bosen. Pertama malah dari chanel ini dulu, baru gw cari di situs Seikonya. Bener bener harmoni banget, antara video sama musiknya, cepet lambatnya pas, emosionalnya dapet banget. Keren Seiko! Makasih bang Satya Rasyid udah udah reupload video ini

I am always amazed of the intricate workings inside an automatic watch this video is an excellent short illustration that’s gives us a glimpse

Beautiful . I have a Sieko 5 automatic . I also have a Bulova automatic that is 70 years old . It runs great.

i have seiko and its almost 35 years old work really good

[@shawnscientifica7784]

I'm a computer engineer but I always wanted to have a side hobby of building mechanisms with gears. it seems so relaxing, I'd like to replicate the mechanical wonders of the ancient world such as Da Vincis Knight, the Preening Swan or Al-Jazaris floating orchestra. People don't realize there were walking, "talking" and singing (from internal musical organs made to immitate singing) automata of the ancient world made from nothing but gears, pulleys, musical instruments etc. Primitive things. I think every engineer should dabble in our past achievements to understand the philosophy of our art and appreciate the modernity of the contemporary craft.

[@daveperrin9408]

True craftsmanship. Beautiful workings. My 5 times great grandfather was a watch manufacturer making fusee pocket watches in Spon street Coventry back in 1800s so I can appreciate the craftsmanship in this time piece. As I own 5 fusee pocket watches all over 150 years old that I stripped down and repaired myself.

[@victabeer3960]

Watches blew people's minds in the old days . I don't understand and it's shown clearly in a video . It's magic

[@a.aguilar]

The movement in the video is 6R15 ver D as you can see at 0:40. Movement 7S26 does not have manual winding option. Otherwise I guess they probably are quite similar. Fantastic engines and great video, thank you for sharing.

[@premmagar9265]

What a beautiful work of engineering and a equally beautiful video illustrating how it works.

[@azza6039]

I'm new in this horology hobbie, and i have to be honest, this is so beautiful that i drop a tear, respect to engineers and collectors. My next watch will be an automatic one for sure.

[@hilltopgypsy]

I have a Seiko 5 Sport Automatic and I think it's FANTASTIC! Self winding, and keeps almost perfect time for years. 736A movement, 23 Jewels. A wonder to watch work. Amazing!

[@scdevon]

Seiko developed that Magic Lever automatic winding device in the 1960s. So simple and effective. Horology is a great hobby. Enjoy!

Amazing that they could pack this much innovation into such a tiny space at such a low cost. Quite an achievement.

[@noelaruldas1152]

Thank you very much for the video that shows the mechanism of a watch how does it works. The motion work (60 : 12 : 1 gear train mechanism) that drives the hands of the clock or watch is the same in both spring driven and quartz (battery operated) clock or watch but in spring driven clock or watch the gear train is driven by spring and the escapement keeps the pendulum or balance wheel oscillating for many days and in quartz clock or watch the gear train is driven by small peizo electric motor (either lavet stepping motor or smooth sweeping motor) that is powered by quartz crystal oscillator that receives power from battery via small electronic circuit board so there is no need for escapement. That is the difference. Please upload another video that shows the difference between the mechanism of spring driven clock or watch with centre second and without centre second.

[@paulvr3158]

It's not the music, it's the mechanics....I get the same from horology as the soporific rush of the leeward bow wave. The music is just a blank canvass in this application, and does so well. A nuanced use of music perhaps, where the object is both not to be heard, and to focus the mind.
