The new JLC Geophysic True second
Well this is going to confuse the people who go on (and on) about how obviously ugly the quartz 1-tick per second is compared to the divine 8-ticks per second stutter of a standard auto. A beautiful new JLC 770 caliber with a dead beat second complication, designed to tick once a second, just like a quartz, in order to count seconds more accurately. You can even adjust the hour hand independently to change time zone, just like on... oh, an Aqua Terra Quartz perhaps? Let's see how long we have to wait until someone expresses their horror that JLC would want to ruin a perfectly good mechanical watch with this shocking behaviour. I want one ;-)

Well in reality all watch complications are pretty pointless in this day and age but ......... But there is nothing wrong with pointless in this context !!
