Great piece!
Here’s what’s happening inside my pocket watch. I slowed the video down a little bit to show the balance wheel moving. This watch was made before the Great Depression and it keeps time now, after 2 repairs at the watch shop.
A smart watch will die within 5 years and be put where all the other disposable tech gadgets go.

Thanks!! It was a friend’s great-grandfather’s pocket watch and was given to me about 8 years ago.
That’s awesome. Take care of it, oil it regularly, and it’ll last even more generations.
Yup definitely! 👍 my friend owns a watch shop 1 block down the street. I worked for him for a couple months as well, assembling & cleaning watches. I love mechanical watches because everything in them is accessible and fixable.
