At the moment there is no-one offeirng a more traditionally-styled central minutes chronograph, the nearest is the new Sinn 140, which is based on a very 1970s block of a case, rather than something traditional with lugs.
We can hope, I guess.....

ps - I can totally understand the death of mechanical sidereal time, I am shocked it made any sense in the first place........:smug:
