Re: on finding a 30-hour watch

Thank you for that.
I had to put my big brain on and really think that one through and I
had me one of those A HA! VIOLA! Moments. (yes, I did say viola. It
comes from a Czech guy I used to know.) I understand now that gearing
is a bigger part of this than just slapping a 30 hour dial on there.
And all this time I thought those 24 hr dial watches just had busier
dials on them but were essentially a standard watch movement.
I continue to learn from you fine folks.
thanks again

So we never did find out why for he wanted a 30 hr watch. Some kind of
shift work crazy rotation thing maybe?

As dAz wrote earlier, it's not a case of dial.

You may easily imagine a dial without any marks on it.

But hour hand will make a whole rotation in 12 hours (or 24 for 24 hour watches) with no respect to dial marking :)

Again, what for 30 hour watch ?
