Mechanical Watch Explorer
Mechanism and model guide
The watch starts at the local time when first loaded, then advances through mechanism calculations at 1×. Reset returns to that opening time; importing a file restores its saved time. Each model keeps its own state and is parked while unselected. A newly selected model also starts at the page’s initial opening time.
How it works
Official reference · Calatrava 6119G
A digital interpretation of public exterior references with an original ideal kinematic movement.
The 6119G and 6196P reference public 30-255 PS specifications; Celestial 6102P references the 240 LU CL C. Rear bridges and the micro-rotor are informed by official photographs. The internal movement is an original digital design using GenericGear ratios and solid geometry. It is not a factory drawing replica or a servicing guide. Breguet 7047 references public front/rear photographs and the 569 calibre’s 55-hour, 2.5 Hz specifications. Its connected fusee and chain, tourbillon and hands form an original ideal mechanism, with simplified chain joints and some crown couplings. The 6102 celestial gears sit in layers beneath the display and are not all visible from the back. This model evaluates 26 gear contacts; choose Celestial gears in the view menu to hide the display discs. Some crown linkages, one-way clutches and calendar cams are simplified as ideal constraints.
It is an ideal kinematic model with gear ratios, meshing, pallet contact and functional constraints. An ideal oscillator drives the balance; friction, impact forces and elastic stress are not integrated. Fast playback can skip intermediate visual poses.
It virtually rewinds the barrel arbors to maintain the current reserve. It does not create energy in a real mechanism. User pause works on every model; the 6119G and 6196P also retain stop-seconds. For 7047, depletion triggers virtual winding with the cage locked before motion resumes. Disabling it resumes operation from the remaining reserve.
Use touch to rotate and zoom. Part selection, separation, winding, time setting, model-specific regulation/celestial/date correction and state files work as on desktop. Select tiny components from the part list. A browser supporting WebGL 2 is required.
