Complicated by the chronograph subdials
Mine is the most visible IWC but still you have to look carefully ...
Yes!
But at least from your picture the readability of yours seems much better. Best, Thomas
Thank you for your nice article.
I look forward to seeing the result of your database, should you come to publish it. I doubt the “instant minute change” category will be a long one, but you can add to that list Longines’ cal. 13.33 Z flyback (an exceedingly rare movement) created some y...
