bearing

Is the component that supports the rotating parts and reduces friction within the watch movement. Bearings are usually made from high-carbon or stainless steel due to its durability and strength.


They are used in the watch movement to provide smooth and precise rotation for the gears, wheels, and other moving parts. The bearings are strategically placed at specific points within the watch movement to ensure stability, minimize wear, and ensure accurate timekeeping.
