Sandra,

Petit geste for someone who always spoils us with lovely pictures! Keep 'm coming :-)

Both the hour and the seconds hand tip down at the end... I see that on several of my older watches. Heuer/Abercrombie/Gübelin.
I think it was done for esthetics, there seems no technical reason. To catch the light and enhance reflections of the metal hands?

Jur

: Yahoo!! This three look just incredibly beautiful... 8-)
: Wonder why your first Solunar pic was straight and this last once
: destorted (?) Is it due to the insertion?

: Thanks a lot, loved this lovely present! :)
