Why do you want this?
I can't stand this approach because let's say you have set your minute hand so that it is exactly over the minute marker when the second hand is at the 60 second mark. Then, let's say you pull the crown to stop the seconds at the 30 second mark which means the minute hand is half way between the minute markers. However, because of the zero reset, the second hand will show it is at the start of the minute but the minute hand shows it in the middle of the minute. This is wrong and the error will compound with every use of the reset and you'll have to readjust the minute hand, which strikes me as both counter productive and annoying.

How are they supposed to justify such thing? All in all they’re still an enterprise that’s seeking maximum profits. And where do they take the talent from that is needed to accomplish this with low deviation in quality at such output?
One could make the argument...

...that to maximize profits they shouldn't hand-finish any watch and just keep charging the same price based on the complications. It seems that someone paying $60k or so for a 'basic' Patek would at least be entitled to have someone grind the machine mar...
Then they should lower the price ...

For entry level Pateks, which are machine finished, the brand should charge lower prices befitting the lower level of workmanship or lack of artisanal inputs. Become like Rolex and price it accordingly? Would that not be a fair ask? If i were to look at Q...

if you want accurate setting, the zero rest is the way

Pull crown to reset seconds hand to 60 ( zero). Set minute to the exact mark. Push crown in when desired quartz/atomic clock time is reached. Lange Sax-0-Mat is a great example . Videos can be seen for understanding the functionality.
