AHCI - And there was a JLC ( Duometre Sphero moon ) which was accurate to one day each 3800 years. As you said, I guess that only a few of us will witness that in... 4500 years. :)))

As an example of how independent watchmakers are way ahead of the general watch industry: IWC

proudly announced the creation of their Eternal Calendar perpetual calendar. A nice, though a watch that wears huge, addition to their perpetual calendar line, they say that their moon phase indicator will be accurate for 4500 years (a feat no doubt but i...

Hawhawhaw....

Yes... I will, I promise. ;)

You can laugh but I intend to outlast Andersen's 11,000 year moon phase watch.

I have more modest goals. My plan is to check out the 400 year correction of the his secular perpetual (376 years to go)

Let's start modestly. Then, piano piano, and we'll see. :)

I thought I was. That compared to 45 million is certainly a modest wish. ;/

:)))

You have been bitten, definitely. :)

IWC say that their moon phase is mathematically accurate to 45 million years, not just a paltry 4,500 years!

Thanks for the correction. When one gets to those numbers who cares?

Yes, I agree, it’s mathematically impressive but practically silly.

Not to mention that it's of course wrong.

Good point!!!

Interesting, I didn’t know that.

Fascinating point. Thanks. I’m sure Einstein

It's a bit off-topic but...

Brilliant - I should know not to put a toe into an ocean. Physics is something that is way above my head no matter how many times I read the same thing.

I really didn't mean to lecture you or something like that.

No worries at all. I appreciate the education

Ah then I am not so sure I will still be alive, then... Not even sure Planet Earth will still exist!

Aren't you a vampire?! You will be OK, but the rest us may not be so lucky!!

Well, if there is no more blood to drink...

Ok, this watch isn’t right for you either then!

That's it. :)

I don’t even listen to the hype.

Thanks Gary

To be fair...

Point well taken.

Very long accurate moonphases...

100%.

Agreed though I would be more specific. Now that I’m retire I have no idea what’s the day or date. Now am sure to have some watches that tell both. And now that I’m traveling more the GMT is useful.

A chrono gmt would be nice…

Yes! Chrono + GMT or Chrono + WT?

For my interests, the Chrono + GMT is my preference because when I am traveling I might be doing some consulting gig where time spent is on the project

Something you can do on a bigger scale with a WT. ;)

I don't have a WT because of the issue with the time change. Most WT watches do not account for the time change to daylight savings. Would drive me crazy

Well then the Duometre UTT is for you!

Humbly I have one. Yes. It does set time independently by the crown so it is not the same as the pieces with WT with cities on the bezel.

True, but you have the cities ring on the back side, just to know how to properly set the time you want to see in the world. Which is a good idea.

Ya it does but that’s for information and not on the dial so I’m fine with the UTT

Yes, my favorite.

Must agree. (nt)

Same goes for chronometric certifications
