I’ve seen this before, and it’s a paragon of how to explain and demonstrate mechanical concepts.
This person needs to be hired by someone full time to produce this kind of page for all the things.
Thanks for reminding me it exists.***edit to add:
Omg I found archives of more! https://ciechanow.ski/archives/- friend_of_satan@lemmy.worldEnglish18 days
yeah, that website is a treasure trove of amazing interactive mechanical demos.

Sadly, 99% of today’s population doesn’t have even 1% of the attention span required to view, much less interact with and understand, this kind of presentation.

Respect to them for modeling and animating that, making it render real time in web for the demonstration, that’s sick

I have managed to lose track of time while reading about how we track time.

This is the article that got me into mechanical watches. I can’t afford a super expensive one, but I got my second last fall and it not only has a chronograph function but also has radioactive tritium tubes in the hands and time notches so it glows in the dark under its own power!

Did I miss the self winding mechanism? To me the most impressive mechanical watches are the self winders.
