"How I build a mechanical Garmin watch face: a real gear train for a watch with no gears"
by xnx - This is covered in Claudeish, had to stop reading. I have to read enough of this at work...
>What sits behind them is a calibre I had to solve the way a real one is solved, and this is why I bother.
>A skeleton is a load-bearing machine with the metal taken away down to the last safe gram, so what is left is whatever carries a force, and no spoke is wider than its job.
>Running and buildable are different questions, and the second is harder.
>A drawn movement is a claim. Before anything gets a surface, I test it as a machine.
If this isn't Claude-prose then the author has been reading too much of it...
(oh, Pangram gives the entire thing 100%)
