CITIZEN unveils world’s most accurate movement Cal.0100

[I-B]

You all know my love for quartz. Citizen takes quartz to a new level, crushing Seiko's 9f on it's path with only +/-1 sec a year! I found a good clip on the 0100. I wonder Seiko's countermove, the new Citizen is solarpowered, would love to see a new tc haq war

Didn't read it but do accuracy stats ignore variances due to temperature, or must that always be considered?

it's thermocompensated and uses a "stickshape' oscillator instead of a tuningfork to create more stable frequencies. They explain the whole thing in the video, witch is very informative in my opnion

a hodinkee article on the movement. I'm curious to see what watch(es) they will come up with. IMO the chronomasters are still one of the most pretty watches on the market....

Agreed - that's my kind of design

I would be very interested in seeing if they can make a smooth sweeping seconds hand with solar charging. My understanding is that the smooth sweep takes a lot more current to maintain. The Precisionists and hi-beat Bulovas use big 2025 or 2032 batteries to keep them going for a year.

if executed perfect, i would prefer a crisp 'tick" of the hand (right on the marker) over a smooth sweep. Also the snap dateswitch at 00h is superb, Citzen gets this right, GS doesnt, the GS switches at twelve-ish, where citizen snaps at midnight, i deffo will follow up on this movement

you know bulova is owned by citizen right?

Yes indeed. That's why the comparison. The Precisionists tempted me many times, but I didn't like the large sizes. Now that they have some better looking hi-beats in the Accutron II line, I'm sorta over it. I realize I wouldn't wear it (too many other choices to cycle through.) I still have several EcoDrives, and I like them very much.

I am dreaming about a chronomaster for years now. Too expensive to buy online tough. I hope the design of the chronomaster combined with the new movement. Thàt would get my attention and money. ...
