Triple date and equation of time (detailed in the thread) complications... but not gathered in the same watch here (the ref. 26003 would have been more appropriate). The latter was too heavy to bring it back with me đ
Little English translation: The face shows local solar time which is different from the "official" time of the watch. In order to find wristwatch time again, you have to add 35 minutes more or less a correction depending on the day which is given by the o...
Interesting, like the graph, it depicts the EOT well
just to clarify, the +35min is due to the local longitude of that solar clock? CC
Even better John
This Breguet 5887 has a running solar hand (running EOT) like the Blancpain 6638-3431-55B. They both are simpler as you don't need to calculate to know the official time and the solar one. You can directly know them with two hands. Best wishes Alkiro ...
I thought I understood EOT.
The 35 minute adjustment on top of the +/ 14-16 is confusing me. Can you help me out?
It's a constant which is related to your positioning on earth (latitude vs Greenwich as reference). For instance, here in Geneva, its +35 or +36mn vs Greenwich
Hope I answered to your question. Best wishes Alkiro
I don't know exactly as you have to take into account the time difference too
If I refer to an AP Jules Audemars EOT dedicated to NY, the hour written on the case is 11h55 so I'm a little bit lost to be honest âšī¸ Best wishes Alkiro
He he đ. You're obliged to take into account both the longitude and the mean solar time
