Originally I envisioned the YES watch to be a beautiful mechanical time piece. At the Basel Messe in 1997, I had lunch with an engineer from Glashutte. After a few minutes he smiled, cut me off and simply stated that if I wanted to do all that in a mechanical watch, I would be carrying a backpack on my wrist. Case closed. We laughed and had another beer.
Depends what you want I guess.
Albeit brilliant in its simplicity, the “10 past” represents a very basic understanding of time. There is so much more to the art and science of horology.
Have you noticed what the elite of mechanical watch makers reach for when they try their hardest in creating excellence?
Yup, you guessed it, capturing the natural cycles of the sun and the moon.
Why? Because they know that this is where the essence of time begins, where the core lies.

They took Bin Laden out on the darkest of a new moon night. It wasn’t the generals who decided when, it was the moon. If JFK junior had left an hour earlier there would have been no crash.
Natural time cycles plays into just about every aspect of life. To me, ignoring them is like writing a book using only half the alphabet. I’d rather be in the know.
But for sure, it does get esoteric.🍻
