The First Watches To Account For Leap Seconds, From Hoptroff London
The calendar complication is one of the more commonly seen complications in mechanical wristwatches. One thing they don't do is keep track of leap years where an extra day is added to February. To correctly show February's leap day, you would need a perpetual calendar complication in your watch, which is comparatively much more complicated, and much more expensive than a normal calendar complication. Beyond leap days and years, there are leap seconds. Leap seconds are applied to coordinated universal time on an occasional basis, to account for a small irregularity in the Earth's orbit. What if you wanted to take the accuracy of your watch one step further, and keep track of leap seconds? Then, you definitely need a Hoptroff watch. 1 OF 1 Hoptroff makes hyper-accurate wristwatches, using both mechatronic quartz (1 second per year accuracy) and atomic (1 second per millenium accuracy) movements. Hoptroff has announced that on June 30th at 23:59:59 GMT, their wat

Help a newbie find a classy looking watch!
I'm really glad I discovered this place! I just turned 20 and was thinking it is about time to buy a decent watch. My wrists look very naked by themselves these days! Problem is, I really don't know where to start. One of the big issues with me is that I have really thin wrists, so most watches don't look good on me.I'm looking for a very low-profile watch with a small face and a leather/nylon band. I'm definitely looking for something low-key and classy, nothing flashy at all. I'm a vegetarian and prefer not to wear leather, so if I get a leather band I will probably end up swapping it out. (Yes I know, it's kind of stupid since it's already purchased...)What I've liked so far has been the Oris Classic and Raymond Weil Traditional lines. A few stores in my area carry the Raymond Weil line, but not some of the higher end automatics. There's also one store that sells Oris, but I haven't gotten a chance to go take a look yet.Any other good suggestions? I want to spend about $50

Maybe I am not being clear
I know nothing about my watch. I am asking where can I go online and what is there on the watch that I can plug in to determine what type of watch I have and maybe it¡¯s age. Just frustrated because I don¡¯t know where to begin. It was a gift from 18 yrs ago and I don¡¯t know where to look it up. Thank you.
