Footnotes
This model displays time with a jumping seconds hand showing 1/6th of a second increments and additionally providing the date and the age of the moon in a separate sub dial. The true genius of this watch however lies within the Dual-Wind movement concept, which features two independent power supplies; one entirely dedicated to creating a perfect timing foundation regulated by escapement and balance, the other solely for the display of time (hour, minute and seconds hands) as well as date and the age of the moon for both Northern and Southern hemispheres. Both are synchronized through the jumping seconds hand mechanism driven by the escapement.
