I love mechanical stopwatches. I use one for timing my pourover coffee, and the sound of it ticking really adds to the process
(edit) also, did you fix it yourself? if so that's really cool!!!
Yes I did! Part of my photography hobby is servicing old mechanical cameras so I figured I'd have a crack at it, couldn't make it more broken. When it turned out it was just the most easily accessible gear had just fallen off I was happy I did! Getting the case back together was the hardest part of the fix.
Anyway, if you're interested in the repair and servicing of old cameras I did a post on my process walking through a shutter from the 1950s: https://cohost.org/CalmBrain/post/853862-hi-welcome-to-my-wo
oh, I vaguely remember seeing this post when you first posted it, I really enjoyed it! Super rad that that skill crossed over

There's something about the enduring reliability of spring driven mechanisms that is extremely special and cool
