Not sure whether it’s a known article or not but just found this one this morning and thought that was very helpful to understand what is actually going on in a mechanical watch, and why!
You can interact with the parts, move it around, …
I certainly enjoyed the read:

What a cracking resources!
Supercool!!!
Wow ! That is a thing of beauty, thanks to the creators and OP.
That's a very nice, clear explanation of the core elements of a movement and the diagrams/animations are very well done. Nice find.
I haven't read all of this yet, but so far this is the best breakdown and explanation of a mechanical watch movement I've ever read.
Great that someone has taken the time to put this togther. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, he is amazing... they way you can spin them while they are running...Quote:

Wow! Nice share OP. This is the best explanation I have ever seen. Better even than the Walt Odets series imo.
This is also fun:

Thanks for sharing!
Every WIS should probably visit this! Great explanation

Yes, thanks for posting OP, brilliant animations.
The creator's other animations are also worth looking at - no idea what software is used but must take him ages!
Excellent!
Everyone with an interest in watches should watch this and get a better understanding of how they work.
Good one. Thanks for posting.
That is brilliant, this is one of the best sites I've seen on the internet and is the first I think which I believe would beat teaching in person. Some of the other topics on the blog are fascinating too.
Thanks for posting.
