Mechanical watches work by using a system of vibrations with a constant period and continuous vibration; multiplying the period of vibration by the number of vibrations equals the time elapsed, time = period of vibration x number of vibrations.
It is generally composed of several parts: the energy source, the wheel system, the escapement, the vibration system, the pointer mechanism and the additional mechanism.The power – the clockwork or weight – provides the energy for the mechanical clock to work, and the gear train increases the speed so that the clock can run continuously for many days at a time.
The clock’s rudder or balance wheel controls the speed of the clock, and the chiming mechanism tells people that the last ring was at what time.
