Hi: What's the claim for the Tag Heuer Mikrogirder? Is it an accurate watch or is it a stop watch with resolution orders of magnitude faster than human reaction time? http://us.tagheuer.com/en/home#/en-the-tag-heuer-mikrogirder-1-2000th -- Have Fun, Brooke Clarke http://www.PRC68.com http://www.end2partygovernment.com/2012Issues.html

I think its a variation on the tuning fork system that Bulova used. I think the point they are trying to make is that a balance wheel system ticks 4,5, or 6 times each second, which limits its resolution to 1/4, 1/5th, or 1/6th of a second. This watch beats 1000 times per second, which limits its resolution to 1/1000th of a second. Apparently this thing moves so fast that the second hand sweeps 20 revolutions each second! -Chuck Harris Brooke Clarke wrote: > Hi: > > What's the claim for the Tag Heuer Mikrogirder? > Is it an accurate watch or is it a stop watch with resolution orders of magnitude > faster than human reaction time? > http://us.tagheuer.com/en/home#/en-the-tag-heuer-mikrogirder-1-2000th >
