" I borrowed this watch... "

[@owengoodspeed5763]

My first reaction was "I don't like the look of that at all." but then as you explained the different features and the way that it worked I was increasingly impressed by the ideas and micro engineering which went into this design. 7 days power reserve in a wristwatch is very impressive. I still don't think I would buy one but as an engineering marvel to admire it is impressive.

[@JimIBobIJones]

The engineering is much less impressive in the 21st century than it would have been the the 20th or the 19th. 3d modelling and technology assisted design means that its pretty straight forward to design an impressive, highly complex movement. That said, even with CNC and other precision manufacturing techniques, physically manufacturing it and making sure it all works is still pretty damn impressive and a feat at the size and scale that it has been implemented.

[@owengoodspeed5763]

@@JimIBobIJones But we also need to set it in the context of the time and technology it was made in.

[@JimIBobIJones]

@@owengoodspeed5763 That's sorta my point. The engineering behind the freak isn't really impressive for a watch designed in the 21st century. It is basically a standard single axis tourbillon but where the escapement/cage rotates every hour rather than every minute. This isn't particularly innovative or difficult. Using the same modelling technologies, 3d printing hobbyists have designed and printed working bi-axis and tri-axis "3d" tourbillons at home much more complicated than this.

[@psy-boparadox3416]

"...... And then I'm gonna wear it on my wrist, as give it a FinderScore." BTW, you never wore it on your wrist, like you promised. Bummer.

When you tell them "nice watch dude" really make it difficult to me not to see them as the watch world's flat-earthers. I don't condemn wanting nor getting oneself a rolex in itself I mean they are technically solid pieces, but the people who tell you a personal story to it are as hard to find as certain steel sports watches are hard to get.

If he was indian he would have been an engineer with undiscovered talent.

[@DAKOTA56777]

Honestly, the mechanism looks actually pretty simple. The fact the minute hand drive gear is all the way on the end makes it so it can have a simple straight line drive train instead of having to wind back toward the center. Pretty neat.

[@DAKOTA56777]

@TIEMPO DE RELOJES It's creative and genius, yes, but it is simple too. That's part of what makes it genius, being so unique and clever while still quite simple.

[@DAKOTA56777]

@TIEMPO DE RELOJES It only looks as if there's a lot going on because all the mechanical bits are exposed on the minute hand, but it's not a subjective interpretation that it's mechanically simple, it's a fact. This watch only has around 50 parts to it. That's not really any more than a simple traditional time only watch, and far less than those with complications like a perpetual calendar or chronograph, which tend to surpass 200 parts at the least.

[@DAKOTA56777]

@TIEMPO DE RELOJES Yeah, it's a living tourbillon, which is very fascinating, but from a purely mechanical perspective it's simple with how they did it. Which is what my original comment was talking about, the mechanical simplicity, not the complexity of what it does.

[@earlycuyler9729]

(6.24-6:31) When showing the back of the watch, it appears that the outer 2 coils of the mainspring @ approx. the 8:00 position are not inline with the other mainspring coils (lower Left, showing through the lower elliptical opening w/in the lg oval cutout) . Is this just an optical illusion due to lighting, a "sprung" mainspring, is it simply under wound, or...? Looks strange for such a precision timepiece &, although it is obviously a quality watch, this single view is disturbing for some reason.
