All retograde hands bounce
Sep 23, 2012,02:12 AM
Have a look at this high speed film of the second hand of a Zenith chronograph being reset to zero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9DIp3fWqmQ
In the UR-201 there is a buffer spring that absorbs the shock of large second hand returning to zero and it that spring that causes the bouncing action. It should be noted that that bounce is barely
discernable to the naked eye. It can only be seen in the video because teh speed has been slowed down.
