Pretty cool video. The part of a watch that has always fascinated me is the escapement mechanism. I have never read the history of when and who figured it out, but it's a masterpiece of a concept.

Terrific video Nelson ! That wasn't made yesterday and it's still completely relevant. I wish they had shown all the little tiny people that make the parts. Thanx
