You may like this amazing web page then: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/ It’s a full break down of how a mechanical watch works, every single part including a complication. Every diagram is interactive and beautifully put together. It’s a fantastic read, fun to play with and really informative.

Seconding this recommendation, and in fact this person’s entire blog: he has multiple of these explainers and they’re all good.

In particular, if you’re a programmer who finds floating point numbers to be exotic dark magic, I strongly recommend his Exposing Floating Point post. There are many guides/tutorials on floating point arithmetic out there but IMO this is the best one and makes them really not seem so difficult by the end of it (or at least, all their counterintuitive behavior now makes sense).

For Kyiv-based artist Oleksiy Sai, there has always been something surreal about the business world. While trying to unearth a global corporate culture, he turned his attention to Microsoft Excel — the beloved software tool of managers everywhere — to recreate scenes of office life.

“The data I use as elements of visual language can be clearly understood by a person [working within] corporate culture, [which is] perhaps the youngest well-defined culture of humanity,” Sai explains on his website.
