[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 294897, member: 3"] Precise as in they are are certified chronometers, operating at -4/+6 seconds per day. For mechanical movements, that's very precise. A quartz movement would be precise, Breitling makes a thermocompensated superquartz that is accurate to about 10 seconds a year, but we're talking mechanical movements, little machines with beating hearts. There are 86,000 seconds in a day. To make a mechanical device that operates within a couple seconds of that regardless of temperature, shock and age is prety damned impressive. [/QUOTE]
