So the Needles are Length of Diameter (Not Radius)
In Response To: Re: Monaco 24 Concept Chronograph -- How Does It Work? ()


So the needles for the running seconds and the chrono minutes are the diameter of the registers, rather than the radius. So, for example, on the chrono minutes recorder, we will see the primary hand for the first 15 minutes, and then for minutes 16 through 30, we will see the long "tail" of this needle. Seems strange to need to remember that the orange end = 0 through 15 and the other end = 16 through 30.

nice looking, but this will cost it some "points" in the legibility category. Still, I am willing to give it a try!!
