Re: POWER RESERVE

In Response To: POWER RESERVE ()

You are correct that:

1. The laws of physics state that the more mass moved, the more energy required.

2. Behavior of complex mechanisms do not always follow that rule in simply observable manner.

In the practical application here, whatever additional physical energy is required to run the chronograph appears to be either extremely nominal or tapping energy that would have been expended by the operation of the movement anyway.

So the net effect is that you are unlikely to notice any appreciable difference in the power reserve with the chronograph running.
