Urwerk Encourages Obsessive Accuracy Tinkering With EMC Watch Movement
Pretty soon, high-end Geneva-based watch maker Urwerk, will release a watch that includes their new EMC mechanical movement - a mechanism that will no doubt appear ironic and perhaps insane to those not acquainted with the passions that drive the mechanical watch industry. In short, the EMC blurs the lines between mechanical and quartz timing regulation in an amusingly obsessive way that points to the sheer limits of how much your average watch aficionado is willing to endure. Urwerk calls the EMC the first "mechanical smart watch movement," so let's find out what it is all about.A little background info first so that you'll understand all of this. Mechanical watches are "regulated" to be as accurate as possible. Depending on the movement, there are a few variables that involve playing with the hairspring in order to make the watch have the best "rate results."

Anyone here had any experiance with the WorldChronos Suisse that is a forum sponsor? I actually looked at all the information on their site and that is an interesting watch! I am seriously thinking about getting one of them in the not to distant future since I will have some extra cash from all the overtime during the cleanup of Hurricane Gustav in Baton Rouge. Any feedback positive or otherwise would be appreciated.

My friend dropped my watch!
A friend asked to see my new SD4k when we met for dinner for a guys night out, I handed it to him and went to the bathroom. I came back and he told me he accidentally dropped it! 🤬. At first I only noticed a ding on the lug, and didn¡¯t care to fix it. But then today I saw that the crown has a bite out of it too!! He is willing to pay for it. I will definitely get the crown replaced, but am looking for advice if I should get the lug RE polished¡ªI¡¯d hate to do it but I also hate the feeling that the damage isn¡¯t from me and that I¡¯ll think about it every time I look at it. I live near the Beverly Hills service center. If I take my watch there, will they automatically polish the whole case even if I tell them not to? What do you guys think I should do?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
