Excerpt from The Watch
The main wheel or barrel if without a chain makes 4 revolutions in 24 hours or 1460 in a year; the second or center wheel 24 revolutions in 24 hours or 8760 in a year; the third wheel 192 in 24 hours 70,080 in a year; the fourth wheel, which carries the second hand 1440 in 24 hours or 565,600 in a year; the fifth or escape 12,964 in 24 hours or 5,526,000 revolutions in a year. While the beats or vibrations in 24 hours are 432,000 or 157,580,000 in a year. Does not that astonish you, yet it is so, and shows the necessity of having every part and action perfect, and kept clean, and properly oiled. Is it to be wondered, that I say that no good workman ought to warrant a watch for more than a year without cleaning, as that is as long as the oil can last good in the pivot holes. The watch makers and dealers in this country or many of them do not attend enough to this.
