  • Looking at a watch on eBay and in the description:

    Second hand with smooth sweeping motion which is the sign of a quality movement

    Made me chuckle.

  • Well traditionally it often was because a higher beat rate is/was considered an indicator of accuracy and quality. 5hz is smoother than 4hz is smoother than 3hz.

    Don’t know if there’s anything in relative smoothness/stability of the tick being an indicator of good amplitude etc and so on. Don’t know if that’s actually visible.
