01 / THE MOVEMENT

The calibre.
Exposed.

A CAD-derived ETA 6497 movement. Bridges, jeweled bearings and compound gear shafts, preserved in their assembled positions.

02 / THE GEAR TRAIN

Follow
the power.

The mainspring barrel drives the centre wheel, third wheel and seconds wheel. Pinions share the same shafts as their wheels.

03 / THE BALANCE

The beating
heart.

A balance wheel and hairspring regulate the release of stored energy through the escapement.

04 / ARCHITECTURE

The object.
Unfolded.

Separate the dial, bridges, barrel and regulator. Inspect the connected gear train from both sides.

THE WHOLE IS IN EVERY PART.

Every part.
A purpose.

MECHANICAL / 6497

A movement, in detail.

The source meshes preserve the mechanical layout. Rotating compound wheels share their shaft pivots. Animation is kinematic, not a force or contact simulation. The balance is animated at 2.5 Hz. Hand positions follow your local clock. Winding, pallet contact and hairspring deformation are not simulated in this update.

Select a layer, isolate it, or inspect the reverse side. Separation illustrates construction and is not a servicing sequence.
