Description Gear-based watches, also known as mechanical watches, operate using a fascinating system of gears. These gears work together to accurately measure the passage of time, making them more than just ordinary timepieces.Inside these watches, there is a mainspring that stores energy. As this spring slowly unwinds, it releases the stored energy, setting the gears in motion. These gears then transfer the energy to an important component called the escapement.The escapement is like a control center for the watch. It regulates the release of energy from the mainspring in a steady and controlled manner. By doing so, it ensures that the watch keeps accurate time.Another vital part of the watch is the balance wheel. This wheel swings back and forth, driven by the energy from the mainspring. The escapement helps the balance wheel maintain a precise rhythm, ensuring accurate timekeeping.All the gears in the watch play a crucial role. They transmit the energy and convert it into the movement of the watch's hands, which display the hours, minutes, and seconds.Crafting these watches requires skill and precision. Watchmakers meticulously design and assemble the gears, ensuring that they fit together perfectly. The result is a timepiece that not only tells time reliably but also showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into its creation.So, while gear-based watches may not have flashy features, their inner workings are a testament to the artistry and ingenuity behind the concept of measuring time.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
