This is true unless you look at something like a Seiko Spring Drive, which has a completely smooth second hand sweep, although itβs not entirely mechanical (and maybe only watch nerds care about this)
Pedantically, only above second granularities. They're continuous between second hand sweep movements at subsecond ones, no? I mean, there's no point on the watch that the second hand doesn't "hit" at some point, however small.
Or am I wrong that "intermittent, jerky, continuity is still continuity"?
