Explore A Pocket Watch’s Insides, New and Old

September 16th, 2010 link to (permalink)

German Pocket Watches, c. 1580; via PewterReplicas.Co.Uk. Note: These watches had a single hand for hours; they weren't precise enough to count minutes. I love traditional watchmaking: a perfect synthesis of hard-core mechanical engineering and delicate, precision jewelers’ work.
