My Favorite Watch from W&W So Far

Post by ezcheese » Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:25 am

This one is as close to perfect as it gets in my opinion, and the mechanism is so slick. Reminds me of a quartz seiko chrono I bought a long time ago that reset in a similar fashion, but this is mechanical. Just amazing.

The dynamic reset-to-zero function of the chronograph hands is an epitome of sophistication. When the reset-to-zero button at 4 o’clock is actuated after a time measurement, a short but impressive spectacle ensues: if the minute counter has not reached the 30-minute mark yet, the minute counter jumps back to its starting position in the conventional way, while, at high speed, the red chrono seconds hand covers the entire distance travelled beforehand within a fraction of a second ‒ one full revolution for each measured minute.
If the minute counter has passed the 30-minute mark, both hands will advance to zero clockwise. As quick as lightning, the chrono seconds hand performs a full revolution for every minute required to reach the full hour.

I love how German brands always do really nice matte finished dials.

Here's an amazing watch you can actually buy. $21,400 msrp, but one day pre-owned, maybe...
