Nonstandard time displays, asymmetric dials, subseconds, remontoir, power reserve, PT case, manual wind, uncommon/unrecognized brand among the public, and BEAUTY. That's everything I can think of!.
But I can’t think of others as I assume you are referring to technical aspects. This sparks a question of mine, and I think you are the right person to answer it. Is “constant force” as we understand it as a means to more constant timekeeping just a gimmi...
without Remontoir de égalité/Constants Force, Zeitwerk would not be able to function at all. At Zeitwerk, it ensures the instantaneous change of the time discs and prevents the destruction of the caliber that the otherwise violent force of the huge strong...
I should have been more descriptive, I think I understand the use in these two watches. For the ZW, and similarly for my Vagabondage, it’s crucial to the display of time / discs. I guess my question is more this general idea or goal to achieve a constant ...
There are many ways to achieve the correct display of time. Not least the skills of the watchmaker. This is the explanation for the fact that at the time when observatory chronometer competitions were held, it was both the watch and the Master watchmaker ...

Similarities that really excite me. For both, the year the watch was launched the watch was awarded one of the watch world's finest awards, the "Aiguille d'Or" at The Grand Prix in the annual Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). Both watches have a u...
Btw, constant force would defy the laws/understanding of current physic if it purely mechanical parts. Many manufacturers toy with constant force notion, imo it can only be achieve if you have sensor inside to detect the input & output. Dun burn me as...
