Operation of stopwatch clock

Mechanical watch
Lack mechanical of stopwatches in most cases the electronic component; such watches have a mechanical system typically made of metal, wherein the required driving force for starting the machinery is provided by a spring drive or by means of weights connected by chains or cables.
In popular culture it is common to refer to the loading dock and winding drive, however this term is wrong, and only applies to clocks weights where literally it wound to a cylinder inside the clock for that Deseño thereby continue the weight of the life-giving to the clock spring within a drive, is a band of hardened steel or tape which, when rolled, torque generated by the clock used to move the mechanism, either is run or chime, through a gear train reduces the speed and increases the strength, finishing in a special way sprocket called escapement wheel, which connects with a piece called Ancora, this piece is the responsible for converting the rotary motion of the gears in a left to right movement is transmitted to a wheel or a pendulum to provide enough energy to rock, is the contact between the two parts and Ancora escape wheel which produces the famous ticking.

Usually the number of gears that has a mechanical watch is a direct result of the estimated time that the spring or the weight provides enough energy to run, so if a mechanical watch, such as a clock, is built to store 24 hours of gear, the number of wheels is typically five, spring from the gear wheel until the exhaust, on the other hand, if it is a wall clock, wherein the power reserve is designed to last 192 hours (eight days ), then add an extra wheel just after the driving spring to thereby increase the speed of the escapement mechanism in relation to the rotational speed of the drive spring, even in these cases require more powerful spring to compensate for the loss force caused by the increase in the ratio of the gears, and finally, the time is always displayed in analog format, using hands, using the rotation of the internal gear, wheel usually watches the first for one day, and the second wheel for 8 days, to convert the motion of the gear train is controlled by the exhaust system, in comprehensible indications for persons who perform the reading of the time by noting the position of hands against a time scale fixed on the clock face.
Significantly, in that the mechanical watch timer, unlike the schedule, does not have a separate gear train for setting the relationship hour mark, it is fixed to the wheel that usually connects with the drive spring, said wheel has about an axis that goes in front of the machine, and that is indeed the axis, known as "gun", which connects the minute, so this wheel rotates once every 60 minutes exactly, makes a reduction schedule speed, using a small gear train located in the front of the clock right between the timer and schedule, their relationship would then be 1/60, this mechanism is also found in all electronic watches with analog readout.
