It is the marriage and the meeting of the two halves that work perfectly well, and one of the things that I actually noticed about this movement is how thin it is.
22:56
Yeah, so the m- the movement itself is 2.9 millimeters, 2.9 millimeters, uh, thick only or thin I would say.
23:04
And, uh, one of the big advantages is, you know, the tech they put in for the winding mechanism.
23:10
So you can, you get probably one of the most, um, efficient winding micro rotors because, you know, if you've owned a micro rotor of any brands, you probably notice that if you don't, you know, move your wrist very much, [chuckles] you probably have to, going to end up having to hand wind it, uh, to keep it going, uh, at some point.
23:31
You know, besides the fact that it winds extremely efficiently, you know, in, within an hour of regular wear you can wind, uh, wind it up to 10 hours of automatic, uhPower reserve and then it has a total power reserve of 72 hours.
23:46
Um, it goes higher than that, but the, the, it's rated, uh, officially at 72 hours and, um, that is also due to, uh, not only a good mainspring design and, and architecture, but also due to the, you know, uh, lubricationless and, uh, friction efficient, uh, design or, or properties of the silicon components.
24:08
So you've got the pallet fork, the wheel, and the hairspring.

It's something you don't usually see on a dial.
