    Hi, I’ve recently bought the ceramic TG pilot chrono 3880, i adore the watch but really miss having a sweeping second hand, As you probably know the second counter is small seconds located at 6 o’clock, so iv got into the habit of running the chrono whenever its on my wrist, is this good or bad, id hate to be putting undue stress on the movement.

    The 3880 has an in-house movement (89365) with a vertical clutch - developed to avoid amplitude loss while the chrono is on. So you can let it run without stressing the movement - in contrast to older Valjoux based movements …
    Best,
