Dual Balance Wheel and Escapement
What do you think about this watch? Dual balance wheel, dual escapement.
I bought it a year ago, forgotten about it until yesterday.

I think it looks very interesting. I’m curious what you think of it. What differences do you notice in function? Like does it keep better/worse/same time as a single escapement watch? Is it ever the case where one stops while the other continues or are they linked such that can’t happen? Is it purely aesthetic or does it have a functional enhancement?
My Nubeo has a similar movement. I find it intriguing. 21600 bph so I'm guessing no better accuracy than other watches with a similar bph.
Maybe it works like two batteries in parallel? Same output but more oomph!

It doesnt have hacking second. I had not put it in the timegrapher. I remember it is losing 6 seconds during couple hours in the wrist. That why i store it. I just put it in the watch stand for the moment. Will let you know once I have more info.

Maybe the dual is just for show. I go to BA111OD website, it didnt sell it anymore, and no more info.
