Check out the video! That is some serious engineering!

ETA: I've just realised I've spelt the thread title incorrectly

Based on a movement designed by Seiko, I think. I don't think it's as serious a gaffe as some make out, but more a case of Marketing painting a different image to reality. As usual.

Glaz, the Mikrograph uses a completely different movement to the 1887 Here's a pic of the two balance wheels!

Sorry, I'm being a tard. Twin balance wheels obviously not a big enough clue

The nicest "Heuer" I've seen for ages.

Note the lack of TAG branding on the watch.

The Mikrograph filmed with a high speed camera:

OK, I like that. I'd love to know what the escapement/lubricant is made from on that high-beat train.
