I like that Spinnaker. Another one I've never heard of.

In order to achieve chronometer status, a watch must keep time correct to within a minute a month. So your watch keeping time correct to a second a month is remarkable.

Easily attained with digital watches, but obviously more difficult with mechanical designs.

BTW, the most accurate time piece one can have is a smartphone!

When I recently checked my watch against the 'speaking clock' it showed that it had gained seven seconds since Christmas, but I'm thinking i may have originally set it against my smartphone or the telly.

Anyway, a re-check today against same speaking clock, exactly three weeks later shows it has gained 3 seconds. So roughly a second per week. Not as accurate as I first thought, but still pretty good I think.

When it comes to engineering, whether it be watches, cars, electronics, Japan really are showing the rest of the world how it's done I think.

The most accurate timekeeper you have is on your smartphone, as it uses the GPS timekeeping to know where you are. The 'speaking clock' is also very good as it is ultimately derived from the atomic clock at the National Physical Laboratory, but there is a very minute delay.

(Got ready to leave the house this morning and noticed no watch! But it was so warm couldn’t be bothered to go back upstairs to get one).
