If so that is a very nice bonus that marc did not mention.:P  I found the answer to my question at Watcharama it is a movement where the second hand can be stopped according to the site.By watcharama's definition most watches i own hack, even the cheap advance analog quartz given by a freind.Among my automatics only my Georg Olsen hacks  it has a chinese movement.Both seiko  5 autos i have do not hack .They are small and the Georg Olsen is rather large at 45 mm .I imagine it needs to be that big for all it's complications.It has day ,big date ,month and 24 hr time plus hacking.
