Help Desk: Locked & Censored

First, the Purists delete the Journe forum because Journe would not accept the Purist's insistence that the Purists management, in effect, become a paid part of Journe's marketing team.

F.P. Journe: No way! Focus on transition planning instead

A board of advisors? Why? FPJ has gotten to where he is by following his own singular vision.

F.P. Journe: Unfortunately none of these posts really answers the question...

This last one seems to suggest that, while the hand is running, it moves once every 1/16th of a second, but that when the user "stops" the hand, it can measure time in increments between two adjacent 1/16ths of a second. Of course, it cannot literally be true that the watch moves the way it is descr
