Love this watch box. Great to see the little citizen ticking away ever reliable and the one watch to set the others to! That top hat sapphire on the Longines is stunning very classy looking.

3:12 well it is anti-magnetic, which otherwise it couldn't have that subsecond hand in the first place, as it need to have another set of wheels to drive the small second hand that based on the central second movement, to ensure that the small second hand runs smoothly and not jittery and due to no space for a friction spring to do so, ETA developed the specific movement for longines that uses silicon hairspring, and magnet plate that have holes to put the second wheel pivot into to replace the friction spring. The other similar movement that has this magnet commonly found in longines modular chronograph like the chrono tuxedo, etc, which also used as friction spring replacement for the central chronograph second wheel as the module is thin

Nice to hear your reflections on your beautiful new watch! It really looks stunning.

By the way, while not advertised as an anti-magnetic watch, the L893.5 movement supposedly has a silicon hairspring so it should have at least some measure of resistance to magnetism. Maybe don't go testing it near an MRI machine though!😅

The dial is beautiful, but in my opinion the hour hand should have been a fraction shorter than the inner dial ring, in the same way that the minute hand is a fraction shorter than the outer dial ring. I realize this is nit-picking but I just don't understand their design decision there. Personally I'm not a fan of the overall case shape, and especially its sharp, downward protruding lugs. Finally the 47mm lug to lug seems excessive to me for a 38.5mm case diameter. But yeah in general it's really a nice looking watch.

I love the video but can you in the future not film the watch upside down
