Write watcher name

I'm Jake O'Neill creator of anima graphs and this is how a mechanical watch works watches have no battery microchip or circuitry watch parts are machined to near perfection at microscopic sizes and tolerances and can produce accuracy within two to three seconds per day let's take a high-level view before diving into specific parts power is stored in the mainspring and released in reliable increments by the escapement assembly the gears that connect the mainspring and escapement turn at various speeds allowing the watch to tell time now let's look at each section in depth the crown the crown is pulled out to set the time and pushed in to wind the watch the setting jumper has indents to keep the crown mechanism locked in place each mode engages different gear sets when the crown is pushed in for winding the sliding pinion meshes with a set of gears connected to the mainspring the crown is pulled out to set the time when the crown is pulled outwards the setting lever clicks into the second indent in the rigid setting jumper at the same time this setting lever presses against the spring-loaded yoke the yoke moves the sliding pinion into connection with time setting gears let's see that transition a few more times the mainspring the mainspring is a thin nearly foot long strip of hardened metal coiled into a spring and contained by the mainspring barrel it's connected to the winding pinion at one end and the mainspring barrel at the other the winding pinion moves independently of the barrel a connected ratchet wheel and click assembly allows the pinions who rotate in only one direction keeping the spring from unwinding and ensuring that spring power can only exit through the barrel the wheel train the wheel train drives time keeping hands and associated wheels the center wheel is driven by the mainspring barrel and rotates once per hour it holds the minute hand and it's 60 minute journey is often divided up into minute marks on the watch face the third wheel flows power through to the fourth wheel the fourth wheel rotates once per minute in incremental ticks and holds the seconds hand again marks on the watch face can make it easier to see how many seconds have passed within one full minute long revolution the axle of each wheel rests in a synthetic jewel bearing the near frictionless jewels can keep internal watch mechanics running smoothly for decades the motion works the motion works allows watch hands to be freely rotated for time setting and also performs a twelve to one speed reduction for the hour hand since the center wheel and minute hand rotates once per hour the hour hand needs to make a much slower journey completing a full rotation once every 12 hours as it passes by our marks on the watch face this speed reduction is achieved as power flows from the cannon pinion through the minute wheel to the...
