"
The designers of the movement probably didn't expect people to study the minutes hand with a loupe." - Who are you calling 'people' ?
I'd still like to find some 'official' Citizen documentation to say
how it's supposed to work.
Damn ! That means mine's not unique, and it's not the first/only prototype and highly collectible and worth a packet.
Nope, it's not that either. I saw that same manual (which is where I ruled out the low power suggestion): It's not 'hopping' every minute for low power, and it's not skipping 'in triplets' for the time set warning.
I've stopped and started it several times, and wound both forwards & backwards a full 12 hours to reset the time (... and: Yes, the crown was/is pushed home correctly
); it continues to nudge ahead every 4 seconds. So until proven otherwise, I'm concluding that's how it's supposed to move.
Thanks all for the interest and input.
I think
Strela167 &
skywatch have the answers that make the most sense to me, and I'm going with the stepper motor/power saving suggestions; for now at least.
well did say cog thingy on a very early post as to how it was moving shessh just cause I don't know the fancy titles of the parts they will always be thingy me bobs and dodads and what do you call them

in the last month or so, i started just to eat once a day... sometime once every 2-3 days... i just don't feel hungry and can't sleep well.. today i ate after almost 4 days.. just ate an Egg, meatball and a slice of papaya..
so i hope everybody could eat well and really enjoy life... if you have a great day, it is always a blessing... i deeply hope life treats everybody well..
great days are precious..
oh, and also great watches...
was going to send ya a p.m but your inbox is full mate
as we are family here can say it here I suppose
just thought would p.m and say thinking of you at this time with how things are in the world and how bad things are so yeah not big on words but yeah... you and your family are in my thought

I'm so jealous. I miss living up north. I was just up there for labor day week and it was just a perfect end of summer weather - warm dry sunny days and cool nights - and the sound of the crickets amplified.

Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

I have one of those Riseman also. Mine is a bit weathered from a missing your on my roof, and speckled a bit with white paint.
Thanks for the tree change photo. We're not going to make it up to NC or PA to see them this year. Fall was my favorite time of year when I. lived up there.

Yep. I’ve gained the “Covid 15” (pounds not kilos). I’m none too happy about it and trying to put on the brakes and reverse the direction.

Simple inexpensive watches still serve me just fine.. and comfy to wear..

Sincerely hope everybody stay save and have a great day..
So sorry to hear you’re having a rough time. Please take care of yourself and get some solid medical advice, if you haven’t done so already. You can’t go indefinitely on such little sleep - a doctor may be able to help with that as well.
Keep us posted. We care.
