Even though this is my topic, it is a totally inconsequential post, as I simply don't care so much about how well my watch keeps time...a nonsense statement given that the only real functional purpose of a watch is to keep time, but I have an iPhone and we live in the 21st century where mechanical watches are now somewhat anachronistic.

Today marks two months exactly since I last set the time on my watch. In that two months my watch lost just over a minute, and that's two 31 day months, 62 days total. That's shockingly good I think.

One of my wife's ROO's (needs a service) probably loses a minute a week, her other one is only a year old but still needs re-setting every few weeks. My ROO Tourbillon needed a manual wind as it wasn't automatic and thus I'd have to attend to it at least once a week, but even then I noticed a good minute loss each week, but I wore it every day and treated is 'hard'. Other ROO's I've owned have been occasional wear items and so I couldn't ever judge them.

Just FYI, nothing more.

I set my 44 to the correct time on the 1st December when I wound the date forward from the end of November. I hadn’t paid attention to the accuracy but this post prompted me to compare with my iPhone and it’s gained 90 seconds. That’s better accuracy than many Pateks.
