Inside a Mechanical Watch

This, friends, is the Behind the Green Door of watch videos. It’s essentially an amazing close-up of a Panerai mechanical movement running at full tilt taken with a video microscope. Clearly this is about as exciting as watching paint dry for many of you, but for watch obsessives this is full on gear-on-gear action.

  • Cool video…in theory, but not in reality. It kinda’ misses the forest for the trees.

    No need to microscope in on any one part of the movement when the entire working movement is what makes a mechanical watch a thing of beauty.
