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 exterior and published specifications reference the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G·6196P / 30-255 PS. 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.
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. Stop-seconds and user pause still work. Disabling it resumes operation from the remaining reserve.
