I only wish that you are able to compare all 3 versions of the watch, or if not at least the SS version.
It is a beauty and gives more than it asks to be paid for.
Cheers

How could i have forgotten that mon ami?! But another look at it, and i remember that there is no platinum, nor SS! Just the golds! But yes, it is INDEED very unique! Maybe i should have a closer look at this! Merci for the suggestion! Stephen
to the hacking...

I have always assumed it was based on reading accuracy. It is quite difficult to read the average sub-second dial with any degree of accuracy, so someone who wanted to set their watch with sub-second (timing, not dial ) accuracy via hacking would probably...
Yup indeed

I know that center seconds hand watches are definitely more legible and accurate too, as they often have each "second" between the indexes divided into even more markings. Cheers Stephen
Wow!

Hi there Dan, Just browsed the internet for some shots of the watch you suggested, it is such a treasure! Didn't know that VC had such gorgeous pieces in their past! Simple, puristic, it is a beauty to behold! Let me do a little snooping, the indirect cen...
not so sure

but the statement : " According to someone, it is far more difficult to create a movement with a sub-seconds hand rather than a center seconds." Appears to be wrong, I suspect the exact opposite! Putting all the time-telling functions on a single axis, th...
That is interesting

Guten Tag Andreas, It would be nice if you can find that citation. Patek did a very good job in their vintage watches with the 27 SC movements, and yes i can see why they would elevate it to a position of being a complication, in it's own right! Tschuss S...
It all depends...

My preference depends on what type of watch it is... For an observation and military watches where accuracy readings are important, I would absolutely require a large second hand. I am actually surprised that vintage Panerais had their small second hands,...
Excellent comparison...

I do find it odd that we compare German and Italian things. We love them both so much, yet we find them completely different in personalities. This is an interesting psychological condition in which we all contradict ourselves from time to time. I think t...
Great Flieger!

Hello there Mon! Thank you for sharing with me your watch! It is very beautiful and i read up on it, its not at all like the current regular offering from Stowa that uses an automatic movement, even though the design is exactly the same! How i wish i knew...
Puh, Stephen, this hurts!

I just started to overcome my GS anniversary edition disease that had befallen me (for the modest, almost affordable SS version), when reading your post with the lovely pics of this watch opened the old wound again. 35,8 mm would just be perfect for my wr...
