You guys have all seen this, right? Automatic movement simulated and exploded in your browser


Recommended Posts

His blog post post is what got me into watchmaking. Truly next level stuff. All the animations are lovingly hand-written in WebGL.

It has been a dream of mine to construct a real-life exploded watch movement. I've been working on it on and off for a couple years now. I'll post somewhere on this site if I ever manage to work out all the kinks...

Yeah, I would've been amazed to be the first to post it here, but I'm pretty sure I searched before I posted... Maybe I used a dumb term or typoed it

To be fair the forum search function doesn’t always live up to its name.

    • Thank you for good advice. I got my beat error down to 0.2ms and it does start better
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  If there is anything we can help you with don’t be afraid to ask. Nice clear photos can help a lot.
    • From the photo it looks as if the pivot has broken. If you add more shellac what is already there will melt. To be fair it all looks a mess.  
    • One of the pallet stones on today's movement (a Zim 2602.1) has assymetrical shellac. It looks to me that half the shellac has come away, although the stone appears to still be secure with the shellac that remains. I'm thinking I should probably repair this before I proceed. Is it likely to be successful if I add a little shellac and warm it until it melts? Is the existing shellac likely to melt at the same time and reflow with the new? Or should I remove all the existing shellac before applying new? (This will be only my second time applying shellac to a pallet.)
    • And it's still running this morning, great stuff!   I'm not sure I did the 'fix' correctly after looking at a couple more YouTube videos last night - got a feeling I removed the day wheel/star but probably the quickset rather than the day finger... I couldn't find the day finger seen on that diagram above, which I think is for different variant of the 6106 - mine is the c, so incorrectly removed the wrong (but also obsolete in the build) part. As long as it behaves ill probably leave it but thought I'd mention, more as a reminder to consider it if it misbehaves in the future... Thanks for all the help as always!
