How it works
  1. The coiled mainspring in the open barrel stores energy and turns the great wheel.
  2. The going train multiplies rotation: center wheel = 1 turn/hour (minute hand), escape wheel = 1 turn/minute (second hand).
  3. The pendulum rocks the anchor, releasing the 30-tooth escape wheel by 6° per swing — exactly one tick per second.
  4. Motion work behind the dial gears the minute hand down 12 : 1 to drive the hour hand.
