You may have it figured out already, but I thought I might pass this along anyway :slight_smile:

Yes, thanks, been trying to do the rotation in both directions of the rack gear depending on a condition. But I was on the wrong track. It struck me this morning, that the rotation is the same as the vertical movement. Check the watch face now. Still not so happy, since the gear traverses the shaft of the hands…

Attempt at square gears. My first versions looked like they were biscuits… :sunglasses:

Important seems to be position and size. Right gear is smaller and has dents on the sides. (open for inspection)

Looking good - I like the wire frame hands partcularly! I’ve been thinking of making Wankel rotor shaped gears for fun but have too many things going on at the moment to attempt. I’m still amazed at the quality of your gears!

Just had a look at Gauss’ wankel watch - it’s amazing. I was thinking of gear teeth on the external rotor surface rotating inside a ring with internal teeth. As an ICE it obviously won’t work but with the magic of smart watches…

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 error…
