This same site has a bunch more of these in depth interactive guides to how something works. https://ciechanow.ski/archives/

Now that is a great use of 3D graphics! Love the detail of having the weight for the wind-up mechanism react to the motion when you rotate the movement quickly ✨

I recommend the channel Wristwatch Revival on YouTube if you want to see actual watches being picked apart, cleaned, and put back together.
