    I’ve seen this before, and it’s a paragon of how to explain and demonstrate mechanical concepts.
    This person needs to be hired by someone full time to produce this kind of page for all the things.
    Thanks for reminding me it exists.

    ***edit to add:
    Omg I found archives of more! https://ciechanow.ski/archives/

    This is the article that got me into mechanical watches. I can’t afford a super expensive one, but I got my second last fall and it not only has a chronograph function but also has radioactive tritium tubes in the hands and time notches so it glows in the dark under its own power!
