Description

This interactive web application provides a 3D model of a mechanical watch movement that users can rotate, zoom, and examine in real-time. It was built as a 'watchmaker benchmark' to test the model's ability to generate complex, functional mechanical systems.

Prompts

Prompt 1

Build the mechanism in Three.js, inspect every part with vision, verify that it works, then keep iterating until the result is complete.

Prompt 2

Claude, build a mechanically accurate Swiss lever movement in Three.js. 18k bph. Real escapement. Hairspring that breathes.

Source

Prompt 3

a full Swiss lever movement in Three.js. Real gear ratios (18,000 bph), working escapement, breathing hairspring — and the hands tell actual time.
