It Is Utterly Mesmerizing To See How Watches Are Made
• http://www.businessinsider.com, Caroline MossIt's the birthplace of the German watchmaking industry.
A watch company called NOMOS Glashütte creates beautiful, hand-crafted timepieces in this tiny town that's built its reputation on excellence in watch-making.
A few months ago, the company created a video called "Look over the watchmakers' shoulders" to show the process of how a watch is made, and it's really cool.
But they are all made with painstaking precision.
From the NOMOS Glashütte site: "Each year from now on, the watch will tick 100 million times and tock 100 million times. The mechanical oscillation of a watch is 3 hertz: that’s six half-swings per second (the escapement halts the watch six times a second) or 518,400 times a day."
