When your watch hits dead-on 12 o’clock, is your hour hand perfectly beneath the minute, and perfectly central to the hour marker?
How many minutes out is tolerable?
And to add an extra level of curiosity - chronographs with central Second hand. Same question for this. Does it reset to a perfect 12 o’clock? How much “out” would you live with?
I have a new, (AD bought) and not inexpensive watch that looks to be 1.5 mins out on the hour hand.
And to add to that, the Chrono hand sits at the left hand edge of the fatter (than the others) 12 o’clock minute marker, rather than in the middle of it.
It’s not much, really not much - but my OCD eye keeps catching both things.
What’s tolerable from a QC perspective, would you think? (It’s a well known, 4-figure priced Swiss mark)
Or am I being tricked by reflection, refraction, limits of my peepers etc?
Or do I just have nothing better in my life to fuss over?
