hrfdezThere is a reason for it... I doubt you will find a watch with this kind of double motor movement. If you consider this a gimmick then I am not really sure why you would want a automatic watch as them being automatic only means that they are less accurate and prone to malfunction. I have a stop 2 go and although they fill a niche market, as there are few who know what swiss railroad clocks look like let alone have ever seen one in the flesh, I think that for the right watch connoisseur it is an interesting buy.
Great watch and a iconic design.
Just_an_opinionI guess if you like that kind of gimmicks in a watch, it is a good deal. I'll take a manual winding or automatic watch any day over this one. Like I said, it looks very nice, but for the price I can get something much nicer.
I own many automatic and manual winding watches, never had a problem. You get what you pay for.
hrfdezWhen I was in Switzerland, I was amazed how on-time the trains come and this method of pausing at 12 to synchronize the all the rail clocks was fascinating to me.
This watch is about owning this nice design and its simulation of the unique motion, which will probably be remembered a 100 years from now in history books…iThe Swiss Railways clock is an iconic design.
I already own lots of nice mechanical watches and I would buy this easily if I had the money to spend on another watch. To me, it’s a lot more interesting than yet another $500 mechanical watch with a generic movement that can be found in many other $500 watches.
