[time-nuts] Chelsea Chronoquartz dividers

[paul swed]

I went looking for the clock and found nothing. But like the rest
discovered the divider ratio to 1Hz. But does the conversation stop at that
point? Since Bill said the motor was 4 pole wouldn't there be 1 more
divider to .5 Hz with the Q and /Q essentially across the coil. Add
protection diodes and such.
It  looks like the Omega timepieces were quite nice.
