Glare & ClockBreathe
ClockBreathe
Ever notice how a properly tuned escapement can outshine any plastic lie? If we could tweak it just right, we could build a watch that never needs charging. What do you think, Glare?
Glare
Nice thought, but physics has a habit of being unforgiving. An escapement can keep a clock accurate, but it still needs power. You could go with a low‑power mainspring or a kinetic rotor, but that still means winding or a battery. A true “no‑charge” watch would break the laws of thermodynamics, so unless you’re ready to sell the world’s most elegant scam, stick to something that can be recharged or wound.

You’re right, the great laws will gnaw at any phantom. I’ll stick to a mainspring and a good wind‑er—no silver‑spun tricks, just gears and a bit of oil. A steady hand keeps the seconds honest.

Nice move, sticking to the old‑school grind. Just keep that winding lever clean—no friction, no wasted power. Trust me, a well‑tended mainspring outlasts any battery, but it still needs a steady hand.

Glad you approve. I’ll polish that lever until it squeaks like a whisper. A steady hand is the only true power source, after all.
