Thanks for sharing a very cool & interesting collection!!!! You mentioned dive watches and that is what I gravitate towards the most!!!! There is so much out there and this was a true joy to see!!!! I have subscribed and look forward to when you can show your other watches especially the divers!!!!
I have the Swatch and call it my "Elephant face" watch, I also have A Tissot 516 that goes the opposite way, which makes a great video with my Seiko dancing hands in the middle😂 Seems we have similar tastes as I have a Timex TX which is similar to your Accurist without the chimes. Ebay has a couple of swatch irony bands for sale at the moment.
That Accurist is wild. I've never seen one before. I look at watches like that and I just don't understand how a human could engineer such a thing. Who worked out that cogs and springs could keep accurate time and how did they co-ordinate all those complications? My brain just doesn't perform well in that realm. It's almost like witchcraft to me.
Your very nice accurist london remember me a lot a citizen minute repeaater i've had ,she had exactly the same configuration,do you know if it was a collaboration between them? Or accuracy london was using a citizen modul perhaps? I also love the swatch you show..enjoy this nice and original collection
I believe the Accurist GMT used a specific movement Accurist developed to celebrate the time this was produced. Thanks for watching. Yes that Swatch was / is something special :-)
That Swatch watch is performing a retrograde action, where a hand completes an unconventional or incomplete sweep and snaps back to an earlier position. Whereas a flyback chronograph is one that lets you reset the timing without stopping the chronograph. Both are similar, but functionally different. Farer has some watch models with lumed indices and they black-out the top surface such that the glow has to come out of the sides.
