It is time to ask the mech-dogmatics where exactly the soul of their mechanical watches is residing and in what form. I am clueless and of course all ears. Is it possible, that assembling a mechanism with a pendulum (ie. balance) is some kind of magic, that creates a form of life? Is it the pendulum that is the key-element, and if so has any pendulum a soul or just specific ones? How about the Foucault-pendulum? How about a more mystic pendulum? Is this the connection to esoteric, maybe? A tool to measure subtle energies, that would remain hidden from perception without such tools? Interesting, isnt it?
