Excellent, but I think I would have to watch it many times to really get the gist.

It all started to make sense when they got around to the escapement. Thanks for the great vid.

The video features a manual wind watch, not an automatic. The thread title should really be 'For people new to mechanical watches....'

Apart from that small bit of pedantry the video's a good illustration of how things work!

An excellent video, no amount of reading books or looking at diagrams can get the info across as clearly as this. Shame it didn`t go on to explain how an automatic winding mechanism works and how the mainspring behaves.

That’s where it “clicked” for me too. Hypnotic stuff

Yes quite correct / and I knew that and still typed automatic in the title been a long day. I’ll log in on browser and amend it

I have watched a number of videos on YouTube that explain how watch movements work but this video is by far the best I have seen.

Having got a little sidetracked I also watched their video on "How Jet Engines Work" and found this easier to understand than the watch mechanism.
