In this presentation that John McGonigle of Oileán Watch gave for Engineers Ireland, he explains how watches work. The video is well worth watching for anyone interested in just what makes a mechanical wristwatch tick.

You might be familiar with the functions of the principle watch complications; however, few understand the ingenious mechanical systems that drive them.

And John also gave another talk a month ago about how watches are made.
