The issue was revealed by a few original PuristS owners who reported it.
There was no "repair", as such, but the affected watches were "adjusted" so the seconds hand/s sat more horizontally to not touch the watchglass underside.
This came about because of the applied raised nameplates/cartouche at position 3 and 9 on the dial. The high pivot let the hands clear the dial but the tolerance was tight for some touched the glass. Normal single seconds hands have a bigger tolerance to being a bit off-horizontal but a 4-pointer seconds hand has none.
They used genuine ETA movements.
ETA have a special medium height pivot but minimum order was tens or hundred of thousands more units than our limited edition 
Besides, now ETA does not supply ebauches.
As the special PuristS ABR was a limited edition, simply replacing the case is possible but loses a major component that made the edition - the case.
Everyone opted to keep their case.
Any affected would be very soon after purchase and they were adjusted by service centres unde warranty.

now you can enjoy your PuristSPro ABR watch again! After reading your post, I think I better send mine for checks too. Sometimes when I swirl my watch slightly in my hand, I can wear a "tack tack" sound. Wonder if that is because the seconds hand is touch...
The design has been changed
heartbreaker Glad to hear that the winding mechanism was fully powered. The problem described is known and since the PuristS edition, all future 'Rescue' models will have a slightly higher case bezel. Not perceptible to the human eye or touch, this 0.5 mi...
Good to hear that the manufacturer actively uses customers' experience ...
... to refine and improve their product! Does this mean that, if the same problem surfaces at other PPro ABR owners, the manufacturer will take care of it? However, if the repair effort necessary is not too large, the effort of shipping the watch back mig...

Now THAT is what I call a very fine and detailed explanation.
Highest compliments to you and your local watchmaker! Trying to get information back to the customer about what went wrong and its possible cause is nearly impossible, certainly from the major brands. amerix
