The clock keeper grips the two existing long metal bars and slowly pulls one toward himself while pushing the other forward, completing one deliberate winding movement. The nearest large gear rotates only a few teeth in response, and a hanging chain shifts slightly with the mechanism. He pauses, looks toward the moving gear and adjusts his grip. Dust motes drift through the warm light and one suspended weight sways almost imperceptibly. Slow camera push through the surrounding machinery toward the keeper. Preserve the exact gear layout, bars, chains and character; only minimal mechanical rotation, no melting gears, no new machinery, no body distortion.
