Look closely and you will see 'smooth-as-silk', on a 28,000 BPH watch (most mechanicals), is acutally 8 discreet twitches of the second hand per second.  (You can actually see this if your eyes are good enough.) Only tuning fork watches are 'smooth-as-silk', at least to the human eye. (They have about 100 twitches per second.) 


But Aardvarks have such visual acquity that it is believed they can see the twitches on Omega f300s.

(I wonder if Aardvarks could collect watches what would they like??)happy1.gif
