Newbie speedy owner here so apologies if this has been posted before. Is there a gif or moving image that shows the different parts of the different calibre movements? Also, why are some movements valued over others (is it the materials, complexity or something else)?

This article has been very helpful for me to learn how the 1861 worked. The author writes technical stuff really well too.

Complexity, amount of finishing, amount of time to make the movement.

FYI there is a small error in this video. The column wheel must be capped due to Geneve requirements to make the piece stronger.
