The dial can be made in any size.

I’m not dead set on the original movement. A Heuer or ETA movement are perfectly acceptable if it turns out a Master Time is too large for my project.

So between all the awesome dial makers on here and my flexibility... I think this might actually be a reality. I’m more wanting a homage than a perfect conversion anyway

Thank you so much for your guidance master Yoda!

Question... in my digging I’ve discovered that the three movements used in the Heuer Master-Time were the following:

-Revue Thommen GT
-Revue Thommen 63
-Arogno 28

Does anyone know specs or info on these movements? I’ve been unable to find anything while googling except ads for already sold examples of the Master Time

Thanks!

Try Google and let it show pictures, sometimes it leads to a site.

No luck on specs. It would be super cool to have that 8 day power reserve but I’m thinking it might just be easier to put a different movement in at least to get it running/use it

Most of the new production watches have the seconds hand on a wb dial, correct?
