I still don't get it. There's 15 ticks between the positions of the traditional hour markers, 180 ticks all round. Maybe something to to with compass readings?
In principle I like this watch but there are a couple of things that make me ask:
What purpose do the outer sub-second markers have because they seem to have an unusual number of divisions?
Is the...

Quartz never left us. And, arguably, the smart watches aren't quartz.
Here's one of my quartz's

My uncle gave me a nice Omega, he didn't have kids so I inherited it. I had it restored a few years ago before he passed away, and he was happy to see it gleaming again. My father is still around,...

It's something I've often pondered and I've searched for a layman's explanation but not found anything useful. Is there a pinion directly connected to the centre of the mainspring barrel? The power...
That watch is beautiful. What movement inside?
It's a hard-coated titanium case and bracelet with a sapphire glass. It also has a perpetual calendar. Unfortunately it doesn't receive signal in the UK but timekeeping is supposed to be excellent...
1st day with this one. Loving it so far.

I love these. Casual, yet tough. Almost denim in appearance.
Been having a try of canvas lately, and have a Weston Watch Straps cordura on a Sinn. I like it so much I've just ordered another from a German seller for a different watch....
Haha, he's very well. I meet up with him occasionally and compare our recent purchases or changes to our small collections.
I'm impressed that you can spot the man by a sideways glance of a charcoal...
