Albeit i have no watch without a secondhand. My mother owns a watch without a second hand. And it tell the time in a good and accurate way. She have a Raymond Weil Othello. She is no WIS, so it is her only watch.
Another thought provoking questionā¦ letās see here

For me it can go either way, and actually the 4 main watches I rotate through are equally split two with seconds and two without. I never really thought of the seconds hand when deciding on a watch it was more about the look as a whole along with other fa...
Yes that was the one I had in mind

If I were running a museum or public display of watches Iād want to show a single handed piece but I have to be more selective with my own collection.
Second hand. Butā¦

ā¦small seconds. Best of both worlds: elegance of just the time, with animation and life. BUT the small seconds has to be the right location on the dial (not too far in, not too far out) and the right size. Too many get it wrong. Not just the ātoo small mo...

For dress watch I like small seconds, for others center seconds. I don't like any without running seconds. I like seeing movement on the dial.
It depends on the art of the watch.

I accept a two hander. Better said, i want to enrich my watch collection with a two hands watch without a date. Today iād inspects some Vacheron Constantin two hands Patrimony. I am considering a Fifty Six or a Quai de Lāille. But if i discover a dealer w...
My wish is to own a beautiful Vacheron Constantin

I like the maison in all my veins. My grail watch is made by Vacheron Constantin. I think the twin beat is worlds. I see the Maltezer cross just everywhere. ...
Not just running seconds, but one that hacks, too!

The absence of a second hand makes the watch look too static (making watches from brands like Ming tough for me) In addition, I seem to have some kind of insecurity; am in need of regular, quick reassurance the watch is still running š

For preference without seconds, then central seconds finally small seconds. For small seconds it's all about location and how I find the 'looks'. I like the location with the chopped up 6 on a L & S 1815 and prefer that to no number. Prefer it's locat...

Like a number of those who responded I also like to see the passage of time. However, there is another reason why I like a second hand. This is because I like to be able to set the āexactā time on my watch. Iām not anal retentive about having a watch that...

....for a dress watch function,i'm happy without the centre second hand,unless a well positioned subsecond enhances the aaesthetics of the dial For normal daily use,a second hand would be useful for enjoying its movement and knowing the watch is functioni...

I do prefer a seconds hand, sharing many reasons already highlighted. Having said that, if there was no seconds hand I will have to listen to the watchās heart beat to make sure it was still ticking. Now that is enjoyable whether with or without a seconds...
