New gears in the movement!

Just swapped in some new gears—had to rethink the fourth wheel 'cause the escapement was a no-go. My bad! 😅 Check out the video of it ticking away like a champ. Curious? Take a peek at what I've been up to: https://thebitcoinwatchmaker.com/post/view/new-gears-in-the-movement/ #Watchmaking #Craftsmanship

Got some new gears for the watch movement, but had a hiccup with the fourth wheel since the escapement didn't fit—had to swap it out. The post dives into gear ratios and specifics if you're into the mechanics. Check out the video to see the gears in action—it’s pretty satisfying! 🕰️

New gears in the movement! woho!

I had to change the fourth wheel though, as the escapment didnt fit... oops
