When the primary winding in the chain, the final stage of power will be weakened, leading to errors ratio. Sesame chain drive system tray and will be the mainspring of its tower between rounds to a slender, like a bicycle chain with a chain as the chain known as sesame connected to each other. When a user for rotating the crown when the watch on a chain, the pagoda in the tapered chain round the top of the sesame seeds will be rolled up, winding the clockwork box will be stretched. Then, winding through the power will be transmitted to the movement round the pagoda to bring lasting change of torque, and thus improve the ratio of power reserve watch the whole accuracy. In short, sesame chain operation is the use of Archimedes discovered fulcrum principle: When the mainspring is fully on the chain and fully operational, sesame chain will be smaller circle, that is, pull the lever round pagoda ; and when the mainspring power weakens, sesame chain will be in the tower round the circumference of part of a larger pull.?This exquisite device improved the accuracy rate of power reserve watch, but when the chain need to be re mainspring, the movement will in turn stop moving.
