Anyone else rooting for ETA?

Now there's a lovely mix of watches to test. Everything from state-of-the-art tourbillons, through things like the Brogsitter designed specifically for chronometric performance, to the most humble of bog-standard ETAs. I confess to finding myself hoping that an ETA wins smile

Anyway, so long as the results can be analysed sufficiently well, it hould sort the sheep from the goats...

I loved the idea of keeping it under 17 lignes to exclude pocketwatch movements smile Be fascinating to see if the extra 8.5mm of diameter allowed will show significant improvements compared to the old 30mm standard.

Are there enough highly-experienced regleurs or regleuses to do justice to the movemnts?
