Chronometry Cogs Gear Gears Inside Measuring Time Watch Keeping Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by SUSUMU NISHINAGA, we are granted a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of watch mechanics. The image showcases a SEM C015 / 9189 watch movement, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). Every cog and gear is meticulously displayed, revealing the inner workings responsible for keeping time ticking seamlessly. The vibrant hues in this micrograph add an artistic touch to the otherwise technical subject matter. Each cog appears to be frozen mid-motion, as if caught in a dance that orchestrates the precise movement of the watch's hands. It is through these tiny mechanical wonders that timekeeping becomes possible. This photograph not only highlights the beauty found within technology but also emphasizes humanity's ongoing pursuit of precision and chronometry. The gears symbolize our ceaseless desire to measure and quantify time accurately—a testament to our ever-evolving technological advancements. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of how much lies beneath the surface—how even seemingly mundane objects possess hidden complexities waiting to be discovered. SUSUMU NISHINAGA's masterful capture invites us into a microscopic realm where functionality meets artistry, where cogs become instruments conducting symphonies of seconds and minutes. With its blend of scientific marvels and aesthetic appeal, this print serves as both an educational tool for understanding horological mechanisms and an exquisite piece of visual storytelling that celebrates human ingenuity.
