This has been done with this movement. When you set this timepiece, you can feel exactly how solid and precise the movement is and how positive and direct the action is when you correct it or reset it. You get the idea of what real precision feels like.
The difference between a direct, gear-to-pinion action and the feel of moving or affecting springs and levers cannot be described. It can only be felt. Magnificent is the perfect adjective.
