Watchmaking Terminology: Winding & Setting Mechanisms

Cameron Weiss, master watchmaker and founder of family-owned Weiss Watch Company, dives into watchmaking in this new series.
This episode with Cameron Weiss discusses the watchmaking terminology for components in the winding and setting mechanism of a mechanical watch movement. He also covers how they interact and what happens inside the watch when you pull out the crown and set the time. If you have ever wondered how a hacking mechanism works or what it is for then this episode will answer your questions.

Really great videos!! Great watches, too!! I like the design of your 42mm Field Watch with the seconds dial at 9 o' clock. Blue is a great dial color for that one. Question--Are all those gears that the crown moves when pulled called the winding works, the setting works or the keyless works? I've heard all three and I was hoping you could clarify. Thanks again!!

I really appreciate your channel, Rare to c an American watch maker, wish the best, anyway I'm new to watches and modding, anyway I have a brand new 2824 movement, I went to do the final installment the crown stem and it's stuck in the operation of the date function only, nothing else, it won't do anything else, I've tried pulling it out and it won't function and if I try to push it in, nothing function.

Oh no! That's pretty common. Likely pressed the stem release pin too far and now the setting lever and dial side mechanism needs re adjustment to fit properly together.
