The Watch Thread - Part 16

[peaceheart]

imo I don’t think LMVH cares about that XD
they probably designed this watch with the second hand to complete 1 circle every 10seconds, to look “cool”, “fashionable”, “talking point”

Hahha form over function

I think even if I ask the SA, they also probably anyhow smoke me

If really got no clutch to reset to 0th second for every time change, then a bit no point paying so much le cos the accuracy can't be determined.

Quite chio leh this new release, but just puzzled by the 10 second decision and the YouTube reviewers didn't highlight this issue.

No one website question the relevance of this second hand circle

I mean... Not everyone is so obsessed with such a degree of timekeeping precision - the Tank Louis Cartier, some Reversos, etc do not have a seconds hand. In all honesty, I don't set my watches to the seconds, just minute lor.

Naturally. That goes for nearly all watches that are not quartz..

Having a nice discussion online is more fun haha. But yea will look in that direction, or start from PDF manual if available.

Not often do we come across a unique piece such as this.

This one forgivable. Fashionable late, aga aga see the time aga aga arrive at that time etc.

But this one, 36.6k beat, focus so much on the El Primero movement...

For your reading pleasure. Anyways, my point is that there will be people who like the 10 second thing spinning very fast and still buy. I guess Zenith just feels that it doesn't need to cater for the segment that likes to focus on COSC accuracy - this segment is likely to be quite small in today's consumption driven culture, with most watch collectors have way more than 1 watch for it to matter to them. There's probably more focus on the idea of prestige that it is using a "Number One" high frequency chrono movement.
