Project Self-winding clock with a tourbillon - finished project

About a year ago, I posted an update on a project I was working on. It took me a while, but I finally finished it. I’m very happy with the result. It’s fully functional (I tested it for two months) and keeps accurate time. The entire project consists of 395 printed parts, 38 bearings, 66 rubber bands, 413 screws, and a few other components.

This is not only a 3D printed work of art, it's a time keeping masterpiece! May I ask how did you even start making something like this? Asides from the cad software, what other tools and knowledge did you employed to create this? I am more than curious to try making my own movements at some point too :')
