The barrel teeth engage the first pinion of the wheel train horology wheel train of the watch, usually the center wheel. Barrels rotate slowly for a watch mainspring barrel, the rate is usually one rotation every 8 hours. Types of barrels Plain Barrel i.e. without teeth, used in fusee horology fusee watches and clocks. A chain, or cord, was wound around the plain barrel, connecting it to the fusee.
