I am not a technical person...
But I have noticed when I set the time in 2 of my watches, valjoux 7750 based, as accurately as possible using atomic clock i.e. second starts from 0 and minute is precisely at "10" mark for example 5:10:00, the minute hand does NOT reach a full minute mark ("11") after the second hand reaches 0 again (meaning it has reached 1 full minute).
What could be the problem or it's normal? Of course after a short while, the watch would gain a few seconds a day and offset the small difference so the time would be exact.
Thanks for the enlightenment...

From the pure empirical point of view ...
Since I'm just a watch aficionado, here is my experience, since nothing annoys me more than a minute hand mismatch. For 7750 based and other ETA non chronos, is set the minute hand backwards and it works. For Rolex movements, JLC, Omega 33xx and GP chonos...
He means...
Nilo means counterclockwise, I think. The idea is to counteract the play in the gear train. Gears always have play between one turning direction and the other. If there is no play they will bind and not work at all. This play is often the cause of the beh...
Simply a symptom of engineering reality
Gears need to have "play" or freedom (as already stated) between the teeth to compensate for manufacturing tolerances and keep from binding. Setting the time forward is the simplest and the most accurate way to set hands on a watch. To compensate for the ...
