⌚ Inside a Mechanical Watch: Photoreal Movement Explorer

Explore a generic hand-wound mechanical watch movement in 3D: wind the mainspring, follow the energy through the gear train and lever escapement, zoom a loupe onto the balance wheel and hairspring, then use the timegrapher and regulator to make it keep time. Real equations for the torsion oscillator, gear ratios and rate errors.
