324SC movement

Hi to all, Probably this has been discuss before, does anyone know why the above movement does not have a second hacking function? Since this is the base movement for so many reference for Patek, I would presume it is a simple basic function to have. Than...
In fact there are a few elements

First, the usual hacking mechanism is a stem stoping quite strongly the balance wheel movement. Knowing how fragile and difficult to set these parts are, it is not the best if used often. Furthermore, knowing that the aim of having a hacking second featur...
Thanks Moritz!

Patek doesn't seem to mention this feature on the existing movement in its website, it's not that easy to get and I always forget which model is equiped with it. I think you gathered most of them. I don't know about the Minute-Repeaters models that usuall...

Thanks guys for the response.....

If it is detrimental to the balance wheel why so many other are doing so, I just wonder. Could it be a case of not necessary to update this very old movement as i find it a very useful feature for timing the watch. But of course, it will not stop me from ...
I find non hacking movements good, actually

Hacking movements are used in wars by pilots and that is why I do not like pilot's watches. Non hacking movements are fitting the main purpose of a watch of these magnitude better: existing just for the joy of it. Best Moritz
It's a good point, Moritz.

However, if non-hacking then I even prefer to not have a running seconds. That would do just perfectly well and it makes setting time much easier as well. I'm always bothered when the minute hand is not set so it is sync'ed with the seconds hand, i.e. at ...
