How does a mechanical watch work

Mechanical watches work on the principle that mechanical watches have a spiral, when people wrap it around the watch, the spiral is also wrapped at the same time, after the spiral is unwrapped, the clock core begins to move.

Mechanical watch is mainly composed of prime power system, transmission system, escapement governor, pointer system and the upper needle system, etc. Mechanical watch with spring as the motive power system, through the transmission system composed of gear group to promote the action of the escapement governor, through the escapement governor in turn control the speed of the transmission system, the transmission system moves the escapement governor at the same time moving the pointer mechanism, Since the speed of rotation of the driveline is controlled by the escapement governor, the hands can indicate the time to the dial according to certain rules. The winding needle is used to curl the bar or move the needle.
