MECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
This section and its chapters gather information essential to the understanding of horological techniques, arts and crafts. The fundamental mechanical principles, as well as the most complex mechanisms, are described and explained through our various illustration materials.
BASIC MECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
This chapter explains the functioning of a simple mechanical movement and its various components.
WATCH COMPLICATIONS
In horology, the term “complication” commonly refers to any mechanism or information additional to those intended to display the time (hours, minutes, & seconds). Complications can be purely indicative or contribute to improving the performance and accuracy of a watch.
COMPLICATED MECHANISMS
This chapter deals with the complicated and complex mechanisms that are not related to the time-display information.
