Mechanism of the watch
By Felix | Category encyclopedia
Each watch has a mechanical vibrating body is a balance. This resonates with a given number of vibrations of the balance spring in watches classic 18,000 (equivalent to 2.5 Hz), modern watches often 21 600 (3 Hz) or 28,800 (4 Hz) oscillations in the half hour. And some quick Schwinger did reach 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz). The balance switches on each pass the anchor. By this change it is the escape wheel possible to run a tooth on. The armature and the gear wheel to prevent the free discharge of the tension spring force on the wheels (see also isochronism).
The wheels (also called Schwingungszählwerk) is a quick translation (as seen by the spring). The switching transitions of the inhibition can be divided down to the minute, therefore, a 1 / 60 revolutions per minute makes.
The motion work decreases the strength of the Minutenradwelle and shares the revolutions of the minute wheel, change gear with an engine change on the hour tube that goes through the reduction in the Slow 1 / 12 turn in the hour.
The hour hand is on the hour tube attached to the minute hand on the so-called quarter pipe, which is via a slip clutch (which allows the pointer points) associated with the Minutenradwelle or the cannon pinion.
The crown is used to adjust the pointer and to wind the movement. (From Wikipedia)
