Nota bene, a GMT does hack in the second crown position, so you can set it accurately to the second.
And independent jumping hours is super useful while traveling across time zones. It's a complication, in the same way that hacking itself is a complication. Both are harder to implement than a time-only watch without hacking.
- randomcarbloke 3y agoTravel time is such a beautiful complication but so rare, I know of PF and Patek...maybe Ball aswell, I can't remember.
- _fat_santa 3y agoIt's getting more common. Seiko recently released the Seiko 5 GMT which for the MSRP of $495 is a steal in the watch world, possibly the most affordable GMT on the market now. There are lots of "GMT Watches" you see on Amazon and other places for much cheaper but all of those use Quartz movements.
- randomcarbloke 3y agoI mean specifically the travel-time in Patek's parlance; a jumping hour advance for a second hidden hour hand, the best contemporary example would be the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT.
