Movement Silliness

 
 By: aaronm : May 27th, 2011-12:45
I know there are a bunch of watches out there where the movement it too small for the case, as a result of just using an available movement and the constant increase in case sizes. It annoys me a bit, but I understand. This, on the other hand, makes no se...  

We should invent a metric

for explaining the case-to-movement size ratio. I'd propose "Absurd Ratio of Sizes, Equalized" so this watch is 38mm/17mm or 2.23 A

Answer is many times: profitability. ;-) [nt]

That would be nothing more than a Symptom of Hearing You Talk Endlessly But think, we could refer to the display back on such a watch as the Absurd Ratio of Sizes Evidence Hole A

whats the watch manufacterer thinking when they made that!?

well, aaron, at least the watch of yours has a heart, and a genuine one too, although..

smaller compared to its "body", i am sure it is a genuine heart, and ORIS, does not say it ain't ETA, but to have that small movement powering a watch displaying the moonphase, day and date, and a second time zone..isnt that movement ingenious, so to spea...  

that is actually a pet peeve of mine

and prevents me from enjoying many otherwise fine watches, such as the Girard Perregaux 1966 line. I would much rather have a solid case back in these cases! Best Andreas

for that ORIS of mine, i wanted in solid caseback reflected in my sentiments..

..shared in the posting on pilot watches.. adds a bit more weight to it too which will be nice.

Agree with you Andreas regarding

the GP 1966 line.A few years ago , when the peter fleming was announced, I went in to AD, but one look at the movement lost in the see through back stopped me from buying.A shame as I liked the dial and case.
