Horological Meandering

I know there are a bunch of watches out there where the movement it too small for the case, as a result of just using an available movement and the constant increase in case sizes. It annoys me a bit, but I understand. This, on the other hand, makes no sense. The case is 38mm, the movement is a 7.75''' ETA (maybe a 2670 or something) that was designed for ladies watches. There's probably enough space to cram 2 of those in there, side by side!

for explaining the case-to-movement size ratio. I'd propose "Absurd Ratio of Sizes, Equalized"
so this watch is 38mm/17mm or 2.23

is OK as far as an acronym, but it sounds more like surfer-slang. I like the directness of ARSE as an acronym

..."Overly Bloated Timepiece Utilising Small Engine"?????

That would be nothing more than a Symptom of Hearing You Talk Endlessly

But think, we could refer to the display back on such a watch as the Absurd Ratio of Sizes Evidence Hole

you could probably fit four of them it there. Shameful.

Best, Horo

whats the watch manufacterer thinking when they made that!?

smaller compared to its "body", i am sure it is a genuine heart, and ORIS, does not say it ain't ETA, but to have that small movement powering a watch displaying the moonphase, day and date, and a second time zone..isnt that movement ingenious, so to speak to give so much complications, by putting size of that movement aside? as compared to mine, a larger movement, but only shows the time and date maybe size did not matter in that context.  I agree, maybe it will look better with a solid caseback instead.  But then again, ORIS is an honest brand.  It does not pretend to be what it is not.  You get what you see. 

ETA 2824-2.

 

and prevents me from enjoying many otherwise fine watches, such as the Girard Perregaux 1966 line. I would much rather have a solid case back in these cases!

..shared in the posting on pilot watches.. adds a bit more weight to it too which will be nice.

the GP 1966 line.A few years ago , when the peter fleming was announced, I went in to AD, but one look at the movement lost in the see through back stopped me from buying.A shame as I liked the dial and case.
