AE. 18 | "Bezel Action"

  • Summary

  • Looking at the history and alternative methods of measuring time with and without a complication in a mechanical movement.

    For full notes, photos, and video links subscribe to Analog Explorer on Substack, and as always with a AE x ZT collab-episode, there will be an extended conversation version on the Zulu Time Podcast feed.

    There has been a lot of buzz surrounding affordable GMT complications in microbrand watches. On the mic is long-time Analog Explorer alumni  ⁠Dan⁠ ( @Timely_Moments ) from the ⁠Zulu Time Podcast⁠, and in this collaborative episode, we explore how the bezel surrounding GMT movements can enhance their functionality. We cover a brief history of the evolution of bezels and what they measure. And we put out our conjecture that perhaps we may see a revival of simpler bezel designs that allow for different timing options without the added expense and complexity of a mechanical 4-hand movement.
