## What is Movement?

Movement teaches you to build and repair watches — properly, from the ground up.

Start by changing a strap. Finish by stripping, cleaning, oiling and regulating a mechanical movement. Every step is explained in plain language, with illustrations and interactive diagrams instead of walls of text.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 83 lessons across 11 tracks, from everyday care to full servicing
• A guided "First Project" path if you don't know where to begin
• Interactive diagrams you can explore — watch the escapement tick, toggle the keyless works between winding and setting, run a chronograph's start, stop and reset
• 17 illustrated plates with tappable labels on every part
• Complete service walkthroughs for three real calibres: the ETA/Unitas 6497, the Seiko NH35 and the ETA 2824-2
• Guides to 15 movements you'll actually meet, with specs, common faults and service notes

LEARN BY DOING

• Diagnostic decision trees — answer a few questions and get to the likely cause, then straight to the fix
• Quizzes on every track, plus a "review weak spots" mode that revisits what you got wrong
• A private practice log for the watches you work on: notes, tags, photos, and a service history

BENCH TOOLS

• Calculators for daily rate, beat rate, power reserve, amplitude and beat error, strap sizing and battery cross-reference
• Printable cheat-sheets for the oiling chart, water resistance, battery codes and lug sizes
• A glossary and in-depth reference guides

BUILT FOR THE BENCH

• Works completely offline — no account, no sign-up, no internet needed
• Nothing is collected. Your progress and practice log never leave your device
• Light and dark themes

Whether you're curious about what's inside your watch, restoring something inherited, or building one from parts, Movement is the guide that stays open on the bench beside you.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-10-03

Eight new lessons on building and maintaining watches:

• Build: matching a movement to a case, and reluming a dial and hands
• Servicing: full walkthroughs for the Valjoux/ETA 7750 chronograph and the Miyota 8215/9015
• Restoration: checking and correcting endshake, and repairing the keyless works
• Diagnostics & care: spotting and curing magnetism, and keeping a watch water-resistant

That's 91 lessons across 11 tracks.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-23

A brand-new home screen — a visual gallery that opens straight onto every part of the workshop: lessons, movement guides, illustrated and technical plates, the timegrapher, diagnostics, parts and your toolkit.

Movement also has a warmer, sunlit look. The new light-first "Daylight" theme reads like a bright workbench; the dark theme is still a tap away in the sidebar.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-08

New: Guide me.

Not sure where to start? Tell Movement your goal — maintain your own watches, understand how one works, service a movement, build one from parts, or fix a specific problem — and it lays out an ordered path through the lessons, tuned to how much you've done before. It marks what you've finished, points to the next step, and folds in the reviews that are due. Still fully offline, with nothing collected.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-04

Two additions for people learning at the bench:

• Spaced repetition — quizzes now schedule their own reviews and resurface a lesson right before you'd forget it, so what you learn actually sticks. Look for "Due for review" in Test Yourself.
• On-screen ruler — calibrate once to a bank card or coin, then measure lug width, hands or small parts straight on the screen.

Still fully offline, with nothing collected.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-03

New bench tools that turn Movement into a companion you keep at the workbench:

• Timegrapher — hold a watch to the phone's mic and read its rate and beat error, with a live tick trace. No extra hardware.
• Service logbook — group repeat services on one watch, chart its rate over time, set service-due reminders, and print a per-watch service report.
• Sourcing & Parts — tool kits by skill level, where to buy, and how to read part numbers.

Everything still works fully offline, with nothing collected.
