"This paper describes a new quartz watch driving system we developed. With this system, the second hand of a wrist watch moves smoothly as if it is sweeping.

Perpetual calendar, wow! I need to reset the date on my Constellation a few times each year 😅. How do you set the leap year condition and month?

My pet peeve is the hour marker Nomos uses between numerals. It looks way too similar to the 1 in their 10 and 12. They're beautiful watches otherwise!

commented on What is your size range? ·

32-36mm works well for my 6-inch wrist. Omega Seamaster Polaris and Constellation (32mm) are my smallest and CasiOak (45mm) is my largest. I'd like to try a 39mm Alpinist, but I'm not sure it will work.

The full lume is cool. I like the green accents too. I just think he should've chosen a typeface more compatible with the rest of the watch.
