A seconds hand on espresso

By Hannah Lindqvist, Stockholm ยท

The little sub-dial at nine does one full rotation every ten seconds, driven by the 5 Hz El Primero 3620. It's fun to watch. It's also pointless, because it isn't a chronograph and you can't time anything with it.

Starry textured blue dial, faceted bezel, integrated bracelet. 41 mm, 11.6 mm, 22 mm lugs, 60 hours, 100 m. Personally, 41 mm with an angular bezel on an integrated bracelet is simply too much watch. It would cover my wrist bone and then keep going.

8,600 dollars and up puts it against the IWC Ingenieur, and I'd rather have the IWC. This is for someone with a big wrist who wants something flashy with a bit of mechanical showing off.
