  • A watch movement may be small, but when you get up close the gears and wheels inside are amongst the most incredible, satisfying things to watch in action. But not all watch movements are born equal-here are three of the most satisfying watch movements ever created.

Truly amazing watch . No better price for titanium case and bracelet, two independent movements, in house movement and skeleton. Just love it.

    This is what fascinates me with mechanical watches, the movements are just so clever, all three of these watches are stunning in what they achieve, take it further and add an annual calendar or a perpetual calendar and you have ask yourself how is this magic happens. I am in awe of what can be achieved without a battery, or a chip, or a circuit board, just springs, levers, wheels and cogs make time tick by whilst we sit mesmerized by what is going on in front of our eyes. I have no idea how long these watches will continue to be made but I hope for many centuries to come that way future generations can view these magical machines in action. Awesome video thank you.
