Got my first ever watch, aside from super cheap ones. I am very happy.

For watch enthusiasts to discuss everything related to watches and horology.
The engineering of the spring drive movement is actually pretty insane. It’s mechanically-powered, but uses a quartz regulator (mechanically powered via a very tiny generator) to keep perfect time, and uses inductive braking to adjust the speed of the hands super accurately. It’s a bit of an engineering marvel, to be completely honest. More details, if you’re curious.
