i am being told trying to make a self winding clock means ppm when this is a self winding clock

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_Winding_Clock_Company

and this is a self winding watch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_watch

i hope someone speaks on my behalf to be allowed to discuss keeping a clock winding

its just to keep clocks wound

it is not ppm as the other pieces show

thank you
(the term is PMM, not ppm)

What is the source of the energy to wind the watch? And why did you mention magnets in your initial post?

Well, your first try at starting this thread mentioned a spring that wound itself by using magnets, which is why it was deleted. If you are just asking for help making a self-winding watch that is powered by body movement, etc., that should be okay.

Do you have a design in mind that you want to try to build? BTW, is this for a schoolwork assignment?

it winds itself when you tilt your arm , i am hoping someone can find me a mechanical engineer to test the 2 spring system i am suggesting, sadly there are no clock makers left in most parts of the world

What construction resources do you have available? Do you have access to woodworking tools? Any machine shop tools? Do you know anybody who has a 3-D printer?

You should do simple Internet Searches before saying things like that.

5 seconds found me these:

35 of the Finest Clock and Watch Schools Around the World​

Ecole National D'Horlogerie, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec​

Located in Quebec, Canada, the National School of watchmaking trains individuals for a duration of 1800 hours over 1 ½ years to obtain a vocational diploma.

Please stop trolling or your thread will be closed. Have you tried uploading a PDF copy of your drawings yet?

A clock is a stationary watch, so it can't be self-winding. Do you mean a watch? Is there a reason you can't use an actual watch movement? What exactly is your goal here? You say you want to prove they work - but we already know they do. So, what's there to prove?

The quality of the responses depends on the quality of your posts.
