Re: NOT a working clone, as it doesn't accurately.
In Response To: NOT a working clone, as it doesn't accurately... ()

>Take a gander at the hour register. Why is it not zeroed when the chronograph isn't in operation? Because it's slaved to the hour hand. It's not so much a chronograph hour register but a redundant hour hand.

For "arguments" sake.. The chrono function could have been started at 12:00 and stopped 2 hrs later as the second hand reached the 12:00 position... :-)

Thanks for your comprehensive response - very educational.
