Abstract
Mechanical watches and clocks are arguably the most complex of “pure” mechanical devices. Making a mechanical watch involves the following aspects: (a) design, (b) design analysis, (c) materials and processing (d) manufacturing, (e) assembly and (f) quality control. This monograph covers only a portion of part (b). This chapter presents some of our thoughts on the other aspects.
