"every 12 hours"
Excellent point. In fits of insanity I've timed watches every hour during the day and it can be a real eye opener.

Most accurate watch
Let me limit things a little. Consider only (mechanical) three hand watches with no tourbillon currently in production. Given that the watch will be worn during the day and placed in an orientation for the rest of it, which watch would it be? This is due ...
Better than 1/2 second per day...
And it meets most of your criteria. This watch is so accurate it makes me assume my atomic clock is off....
of mine, this
About +0.5 sec/day. Although, outside your specs, this came back from service and is regulated so well that in three weeks I cannot see any deviation at all: Best Andreas...
Are these results specifically to the owner's watch, or....
The same for watches of that brand and model?,
I imagine each sample will vary.
I can only speak to my sample. I have read others with the SC post anywhere from 1-3 seconds/day. Mine seems to run the same whether I wear it a few days in a row or let it sit. Other watches I have owned seem to run more accurately one way or the other, ...
May I add the Habring?
My Habring have been running since July, and is currently +10s (so that's roughly +2.5s/month). The trick is to find out the best winding position that allows minimal time gain/loss. For me, I always wind my watch daily (given it has 48 hour power reserve...
What do you learn from non-randomized testing?
Any watch can be highly accurate if its positions, state of wind, etc. are carefully controlled. For me the question is which watch functions best (a) when stored in inconsistent positions; (b) when sometimes worn and sometimes left on the winder; and (c)...

Currently in production...
Okay, I would say Grand Seiko VFA, but it is 40 years old. It requires very diligent and experienced adjuster to make the most accurate watch + picking up the "better" movement example. Many brands could do it, if they are willing to spend such talent and...
Would definitely have to be my King
No questions about this. Tschuss Stephen And yes i am very partial towards " Made in Germany" Nothing to detract from the purity, precision of it....
Ahhhh, BluNotte...
...but what does that one have in the engine bay??? Cheers, pplater.
But my friend,
All Ronald did ask for was "no tourbillon" didnt he? And this fits that! Cheers Stephen
Aah... I was waiting for this one!
As I wrote in my POTW entry, this watch is one I will never afford but always dream for. A King for everyone!
Allegedly, Ronald...
...this one was built for the purpose of accuracy contests, so it is reasonable to assume that it was once extremely accurate. It is a bit highly strung, however (e.g. no shock protection) so has probably fallen out of tune in recent times. Still, you wan...
Those pplater......
ARE just drop dead BRILLIANT! Oh, the very 1st one, i do not know much about it, but boy is it great! To me, that is the essence. Thanks for sharing with a desperate and hungry eyes. Stephen
One Second per Month.... [nt]
