Baselworld 2011 : Tag Heuer "MikroTimer 1000"
I don't know if you have watched the presentation of the MikroTimer 1000 but this is the official video : ===> baselworld.tagheuer.com Still a concept watch, only several minutes of power reserve and an uncertain reliability. 2 frequency engines as for th...

That's the first thnig I said to myself,
It's not very beautiful to watch this second hand flying like a propeler, I think the Mikrograph 1/100 th is much nicer on this point. Happy that the technical achievement takes widely over that !
That is one cool video
The watch is not bad either. It looks very good. Best regards, George

Accuracy?
But is it accurate? A hand moving around a dial in 1000 steps is one thing. Splitting a second into 1000 equal parts is another. I couldn't find any details of what looks like a palletless anchor? Anyone?
