Swiss Lever Movement
An interactive 3D simulation of a mechanical watch movement built with Three.js
Lifecycle
Playable
This web application provides a high-fidelity interactive 3D model of a mechanical watch movement. Users can zoom, rotate, and inspect the complex gears and Swiss lever escapement in real-time within the browser.

Prompt
/goal Build the most realistic mechanical watch movement in Three.js – visible gears, escapement, balance wheel, all animated and mechanically coherent (gear ratios must actually make the hands tell real time). Build a camera system to inspect it from every angle and zoom level, use your vision capabilities to verify each part, and loop until you are 100% satisfied. Save a screenshot of every iteration to ./iterations/ so I can make a time-lapse.
