    Or someone is making Frankens for very hurry people needing double seconds...

    Next time, they may even talk of a "rare chrono without any pusher"...

    i'd be impressed if he could build in a mechanism to synchronize the second hands.

    It is back - although it was sold at 630 euros at the end of the auction...

    So double seconds, double price, double selling (BIT and auction) and now double sale... Maybe the seller has two of it!

    I’m thinking it would be possible to cobble this movement together from a sub second and center second model of related caliber movements. Using a basic sub second caliber movement, swap center wheel, third wheel, add a sweep seconds pinion and the pinion drive wheel and the train bridge from a sweep seconds model. Add a sweep hand, and it’s done. Not that I would try it, but it might be possible.

    All I can say: Rare and important.
    Off to the auction houses.
