Say hello to the first-ever <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le Watch powered by an automatic movement\u2026 or more accurately, the first-ever Apple Watch that works without needing to charge!<\/p>\n<p>Barely a year since Apple launched the Watch Ultra, Jack Spiggle (who goes by NanoRobotGeek on YouTube) decided it was time for the smartwatch to perform a blast from the past too. The project started with sourcing a Gen 1 Apple Watch, which would serve as the perfect outer shell for the project \u2013 Apple stopped supporting the Gen 1 Watch in 2020, and most of the first-generation Apple Watches have extremely poor battery life, rendering them useless. Jack bought a handful of second-hand watches off eBay for a couple of hundred bucks, mainly for their stainless steel chassis and sapphire glass. The idea was deceptively simple \u2013 to build a mechanical Apple Watch with a functional crown and button.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@NanoRobotGeek\/\">NanoRobotGeek<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/07\/how-one-crazy-youtuber-built-the-worlds-first-mechanical-apple-watch-from-e-waste\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How One Crazy YouTuber Built The World\u2019s First \u201cMechanical Apple Watch\u201d from E-Waste\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_1.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/07\/how-one-crazy-youtuber-built-the-worlds-first-mechanical-apple-watch-from-e-waste\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How One Crazy YouTuber Built The World\u2019s First \u201cMechanical Apple Watch\u201d from E-Waste\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_1.jpg\">The 25-minute-long video at the beginning details out Jack executes this hefty build. The inside of the watch features a reliable Seiko NH38 movement, but it isn\u2019t as simple as slapping a mechanical movement inside the watch and calling it a day. Analog timepieces are HIGHLY intricate works of art and engineering, and the YouTube video above just makes one appreciate the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> of horology even more. The conversion exercise can basically be split into two phases \u2013 cleaning out the Apple Watch, and then assembling the mechanical timepiece inside its hollow shell. The former was understandably easy, but required a fair amount of care because Jack didn\u2019t want to risk breaking the glass or any other parts.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/07\/how-one-crazy-youtuber-built-the-worlds-first-mechanical-apple-watch-from-e-waste\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How One Crazy YouTuber Built The World\u2019s First \u201cMechanical Apple Watch\u201d from E-Waste\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_2.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/07\/how-one-crazy-youtuber-built-the-worlds-first-mechanical-apple-watch-from-e-waste\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How One Crazy YouTuber Built The World\u2019s First \u201cMechanical Apple Watch\u201d from E-Waste\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0;

the movement to fit perfectly into the Apple Watch\u2019s stainless steel chassis, perhaps one of the most interesting parts was the creation of a custom oscillating weight for the watch. Visible through the back, this oscillating weight would serve the purpose of charging the watch through minor wrist movements. Jack took an existing weight and modified it by laser-cutting the Apple logo into it as well as etching the movement model number and jewel count onto it.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/07\/how-one-crazy-youtuber-built-the-worlds-first-mechanical-apple-watch-from-e-waste\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How One Crazy YouTuber Built The World\u2019s First \u201cMechanical Apple Watch\u201d from E-Waste\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_9.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-447310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_9.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/08\/07\/how-one-crazy-youtuber-built-the-worlds-first-mechanical-apple-watch-from-e-waste\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How One Crazy YouTuber Built The World\u2019s First \u201cMechanical Apple Watch\u201d from E-Waste\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/08\/draft-apple-watch\/apple_mechanical_watch_9.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The movement was then mounted behind a zirconium plate with a small cutout on the front to let you see the watch\u2019s flywheel.
