Watch mechanism
English to German

Mechanics / Mech Engineering
The phrase "watch mechanism" is used as headline for an index describing the OUTER parts of a watch.
WATCH MECHANISM
-hour hand
-minute hand
...
The direct translation Uhrenmechanismus sounds more like inner parts to me. Could someone help me out on a better verbalisation?? Thanks

Bedienungsmechanismen
Vielleicht hilft meine Idee bzgl. der äußeren "Einstellungsknöpfe". Evtl. Bedienungsknöpfe, Einstellungspunkte, Regler etc.

Bauteile der Uhr
Aus technischer Sicht gehören zum Mechanismus alle beweglichen Teile und genau genommen sogar alle Teile, die vom Kraftfluss betroffen sind.
Aber hier geht es wohl eher um umgangssprachliche Klarheit.
