I tried to take these gears from Maurice Lacroix Facer as well as from pictures of the real watches as a reference for attempting this setup. I could not get the gears aligned, so I ended up creating my own gears with a lot bigger teeth. It took several tries and quite some trial and errorā€¦

I could look at that for hours . Makers Delight . Not a single GIF frame in Sight . Those 3D Jumping animation Faces are put to shame by this Excellence . That is one of the first rules of animation loops . No jumps between first and last frame . Thanks for Showring us that . This Topic is Elevated beyond a Master Class .

You may have seen this somewhere in the Internet or Youtube.

I started out with the sinus functions to move the frame back and forth, but the setup is actually linear.
So I thought of moving multiple frames without sinus, one moving to the left, another moving to the right depending on intervals. All too complicatedā€¦

The solution is a lot easier. The sinus function delivers the positive and negative values. So how to make it linear? Before doing the math with the floor function, I searched the community and found this tutorial: Trying to understand sinā€¦

This is the result:
