The anchor of a mechanical watch serves to transfer the energy from the spring barrel to the balance wheel in the form of pulses whilst permitting the movement to run according to its frequency and thus display the passage of time. Whilst its form is indeed reminiscent of its maritime counterpart, not only is the watch anchor's function much more complex, its production is disparately more demanding than forging a piece of steel.http://ahci.watchprosite.com/?show=forumpost&fi=16&pi=6513928&ti=941908
