Officina Flavia

Mechanical watch movements built entirely with procedural Three.js code by AI.

Description

A technical experiment comparing the capability of Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT to generate a working 3D mechanical watch movement. Using a specific prompt for 17 jewels and a coiled mainspring, the models produced functional Three.js code to simulate a Swiss lever calibre with a specific beat frequency, created without external assets or textures.
