3D animated watch mechanisms

Hey guys, this site's great! I've read a few articles on the workings of mechanical watches, but explanations of parts like escapements have escaped me.

This site, on the other hand, has great animated sequences that let you see how it all works - check it out! http://www.zvisuel.com/montrespassio...ish/index.html
