That should be good reading. I'm looking forward to it.

Curious about your findings about ergonomics. If I remember it well, your wrists are even smaller than mine smile

HandsInSync

 
 By: Timertom : September 12th, 2010-01:56
Is there any manufacturer making a watch (with seconds display) where the seconds and minute hands correctly link/ sync to one another? I find it bothersome (yet like to wear my watches with the hands set perfectly) when winding and adjusting a manual/ au... 

AFAIK the only one is the Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer ....

... this is a heavy, chunky watch in RG or WG that I find nicer on pictures than in real life. It tested very very well in Chronos. There seems to be a lot of fans.

There's also the Vyskocil . . .

That is interesting. The info and pictures on the ...

... website look promising. By the way, how are your experiences with the GO Senator Chrono? If i'm not mistaken you are testdriving it, right?

The testdrive is long over . . .

. . . and I'm in the process of writing an on-the-wrist report for the G O forum . . .

That should be good reading. I'm looking forward to it.

Wheels

Rishad, Note, where there are wheels, there is space between the tooth. This is the case with all mechanical and quartz movement Best result is achieved to set time by moving the minute hand backwards to the point it shall be. Cheers, Martin

GoodInfo

Thanks Martin, Going backwards is very good information. Regards, Rishad

Some movements do this better than others.

I would single out the Langematik movement (which also has a "zero reset" for the seconds hand) and the older Patek caliber 27-460 as movements on which the minutes hand stays put when you push in the crown and then starts moving promptly. Honorable menti... 

You can add Montblanc Villeret's Retour a Zero and a few others to the list (link)

Hacking seconds

 
 By: AndrewD : September 12th, 2010-15:55
Of course at the most basic level, I find a hacking seconds function built into the design of the movement to be extremely useful to stop the second hand at 'zero' while I accurately set the minute hand to a known time source. It's the simple things in li... 

ThanksEveryone
