Zeitwerk questions: preloading of minutes disk when seconds reach 55sec
Jan 19, 2021,05:16 AM
Hi, I am planning on acquiring the Z.
So I researched and handles some of my friend's Zs from 2016 and two from 2017.
I noticed that minutes disk is slightly moving when the second hands reach 55seconds, an action that takes place as disks are getting ready to swipe.
This preloading, however, was not found in models in boutique that visited. the minutes disks had no preloading movement of any sort!
I found several youtube videos showing that 2018~ onward Zeitwerk had no preloading / ~2017 had this small, but noticeable movement to its minutes disk.
I am confused now... does this happen only to some specimen or has there been any movement change to Zeitwerk? I sent an inquiry email to Lange and am waiting for their reply...
If any of you know the answer, please share!
