Mechanical Watch: How It Works - The Micro-Machine That Ticks 28,800 Times an Hour

The mechanical watch is a marvel of micro-engineering that measures time without electricity. Inside this tiny mechanism, a coiled mainspring, precision gear train, and oscillating balance wheel work together to create perfect timing. How It Works explains car engines, planes, and interesting machines - one real machine broken down every day.
