Seiko 7s26 4r36 6r15 Movement

[@SOPHIAFLYGIRL]

Im just starting my watchmaking journey and found this the best animation yet about mechanical watches.

[@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.

[@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.

[@thlee3]

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.

[@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!

[@dedissimo]

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

[@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.

[@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.

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!

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.

Absolutely great demonstration of a mechanism, the music is fine although it could be a better choice to match this brillant display. Great work. Thanks

[@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.

[@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.

[@christinebaker8754]

My father was a watch and clock maker. I grew up with these beautiful things in his workroom, disassembled for repair / cleaning . Digital watches killed off the craft, and however clever and sophisticated our smart watches are, they cannot match the elegance and craftsmanship of mechanical watches. The big names like Omega, Rolex, Tissot, Seiko, Longines and Schaffhausen will always have their revered place in history. I hope they will continue to be manufactured for those who value their intricate precision and unique character. Likewise, digital pianos have their place, but give me a Bechstein or a Steinway any day.

Seiko's workhorse wonder. Yes, I've had 6R15's (mostly w/ the C-type balance) that did some crazy things, but I heard that some were not correctly lubricated in the factory. All 6R15D's I've handled performed quite well, with strong amplitudes between 275-310 degrees. I've also seen the other 6R iterations perform admirably, once given a good cleaning and lubrication.
