The seconds hand presents two main challenges. The first is the rounded bevel on the tail disc. As with the lugs, the optimal approach would be to produce it as a separate component, hand-finish the disc, and then rivet it to the hand — but this introduces a risk of loosening. We ultimately chose to form it from a single piece, with every contour executed entirely by hand. The second challenge lies in the concave hand-stack design, which is difficult to reach with finishing tools. After repeated adjustments and refinements, the results more than lived up to our expectations.
