I think we all remember our first mechanical watch and marveling at the smooth sweep of the seconds hand. But how much do we really know about how that sweep takes place? In this video, we'll do a deep dive into beat rate or frequency, the source of the sweep, explaining the pros and cons of faster and slower beat rates while also exploring what's going on mechanically behind the dial. To illustrate the point, we will compare slow motion, 120 frames-per-second shots of watches representing the most common beat rates out there on the market as well as Grand Seiko's Spring Drive.
