[time-nuts] Re; New Wrist watch

[mike cook]

As with the original chronometers, it is not the drift that is 
important, but the stability of the drift. If you know that then getting 
the correct time is simple arithmetic. That said, if you want to get low 
drift numbers, a number of movements have been and are available to 
improve on the average Swatch.
Have a look at < 
http://issuu.com/watchlords.com/docs/thermocompensation---------methods_20110528_055911> 
for a document by Bruce Reding which catalogues many.
I have a couple that are well within spec at <2s per year, the A660 from 
Citizen and the 9F from Seiko.
