Impressive by any standards!
Puts many more expensive watches to shame and a triumph for Omega and the co axial escapement!
CK859 Timekeeping
Being a litlle obsessive (if you believe that, you'll believe anything!)...anyway, moving on , I thought that it'd be interesting to measure the 859's timekeeping over a week. The result is little short of astonishing. I carefully set it against my radio ...
That's good to hear,
that we are equally 'enthusiastic', and that mine isn't an oddity,,,just 'biz as usual' for a CK859. Kind regards Antony
Ahhh, look at that...
...Grossmann Hamatic movement. Absolutely sublime and a form of art!
The new CK 859 is a winner in many aspects…in itself…
Not to compare with the MG since it’s got other mechanical qualities we all love.
I completely agree,
it just happened that I was alternating with it, certainly not comparing. Regards Antony
I was just testing the power reserve, not the accuracy of this watch...
Fully wound Apr 16th 10:10am...and today April 19, 12:33pm it is still running accurately, not to the seconds because that was not my test but it is running for 74hrs and still keeping time....not sure when it will stop.
Thanks
that is very interesting and shows the depth of quality in the design. An outstanding watch. Enjoy! Regards Antony
Time keeping
Great results i read. Manual wound. I guess the results will be better, plus 1 and than no plus and minus. It will be at point 0 when the movement had run in. Same as a very high accuracy quartz watch.
That Mortiz Grossman is BEAUTIFUL!
Oh, wait, this post is about the Omega's accuracy. Let me switch gears here. Yes, the Omega is wonderful. Oddly, my Rolex runs about 0.5 seconds slow a day! And perhaps odd to some people, although not a huge surprise to me, the mass brands like Rolex and...
I expect that
they have the resources to really understand regulation in its totality. Not that VC or PP are small, just that maybe it is not so critical for them. Regards Antony
Did you order a replacement Lamborghini yet?
Did I tell you how much I like the Huracan? Oh, wait, I already did. Sorry for repeating myself!
Oh! The new one?
That new LC looks really impressive. Especially the rear end! What a handsome looking car! CH Gruyere is the one with the Lamborghini - well had a Lamborghini.
It is lovely to drive,
beautifully finished, and quite fast enough for an old man in UK! You don't see many about. Kind regards Antony
They're rare out here in California too!
I haven't had the pleasure of driving one yet. But I can imagine it's lovely. I definitely like the rear design!
I do not want to sound silly,
but driving it is a sublime experience. I have never owned a supercar but have had a stream of Maseratis, until the recent ones (yuck!), they proved very reliable and were charismatic. The Gran Turismo and QP5 were beautiful. In the early days nobody knew...
That's a solid logic!
Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the LC is a very rare car. I see more Maseratis (I'm not a fan of the modern ones myself) than Lexus LCs. However, we've also become a place where we're now all adopting electric cars! I'm also quite sensitive to road n...
Interesting point
The LC definitely had considerable road noise, just like the Maserati. My tyre dealer recommended changing them for a specific Michelin. The transformation was nothing short of incredible. Kind regards Antony
Speaking of tires...
I need to find an extra quiet tire for my Tesla. Since the tire noise is so obvious when there's no engine noise to cover it up!
No need. Thanks for offering!
I'm very familiar with all the tires that fit on my vehicle. Unfortunately, I'm not enamored with my choices. For the US Market, we haven't gotten the Michelin ePrimacy and Michel Pilot Sport EV available in my vehicle's size. I'm especially keen on tryin...
I almost bought another just like it two days later.
The hesitation cost me, they went up a whole bunch and good ones got scarce shortly thereafter. The Huracán is a fun buggy.
Fractional seconds per day timing is impressive . . .
. . . and if my experience with the 60th anniversary Rail is any guide, the timing performance you're experiencing now will still be in store five years from now. Btw, my nearly six ty year old Genève chronometer . . . . . . offers similar timing performa...
And I expect
that it would have been much harder to achieve back then,,,kudos to them. Kind regards Antony

Hi Ant.
Hope you’re doing well. I’m not surprised as I’m experiencing similar great results with my new Speedmaster Chronoscope. Omega does seem to have it’s act together.
Lovely to hear from you,
it does seem that they are a cut above everyone else. I hope that you are coming to London sometime soon, a nice meal beckons! Kind regards Antony
Excellent! We often forget about precision! Chapeau to Omega here!!
I hope Omega make a model with a more conventional / traditional / classic dial and I'm in! I have always been after my first George Daniels escapement watch, it could be the one! Best, E.
I have no doubt that
after this huge success more designs will follow. Regards Antony
