Why it works
The title and watch hands identify the subject in the first five seconds, while 0:20–0:44 maps the whole power path before the part-by-part explanation. Transparent context, exploded assemblies at 1:47–1:52 and side-on gearing at 3:15–4:09 make hidden relationships visible. The most-replayed interval, 4:19.6–4:24.0, coincides with the balance wheel and escapement moving together.
