yes. It would actually keep time more accurately as gravity is the enemy of mechanical watches. The Tourbillon complication was invented to help reduce the effects of gravity on the balance wheel.

What type of glue works in space?

Special types of epoxy adhesives are often used in space because they can cure in a vacuum environment. These adhesives can withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, and mechanical stress that space conditions present. Additionally, some space missions use tapes or mechanical fasteners instead of traditional liquid glues.


Does a clock still work in space?

Most clocks work fine in space. The mechanical manual-wind wristwatches worn by space-walking astronauts work just fine strapped to the outside of the wrist of the spacesuit, in the vacuum of space. The atomic clock in each GPS satellite works just fine. While we haven't bothered actually testing, it seems likely that pendulum and water clocks would not work in space, because of the lack of gravity.

Can you continuously rotate a wheel with only mechanical functions. Is this how a mechanical watch functions?

Yes, a wheel in a mechanical watch is continuously rotated by a mainspring, which stores energy as it is wound up and releases it slowly to turn the gears and hands of the watch. The escapement mechanism controls the release of the stored energy, allowing the watch to keep time accurately.

The hands on a watch move because it has what type of energy?

The hands on a watch move due to mechanical energy, which is transferred from the spring inside the watch. This mechanical energy drives the gears and hands of the watch to move in a coordinated manner to track the passage of time.
