Horological Institute of Japan and its journal

I have mentioned the HIJ a few times before, but my very first was in the cal. 2722 thread when I stumbled onto primary sources for the significance of te Citizen cal. 1930.

In search for a GADA HAQ watch

I’m currently on the lookout for a GADA HAQ watch, preferably with a deep blue dial. At first, I thought about a Grand Seiko but lately, The Citizen watches have caught my attention.

So far I’ve got these watches on my list:

– Grand Seiko SBGP013G

– Citizen AQ4091-56M

– Citizen AQ4080-52L

Any other watches I should know about? Any swiss watches maybe?

Enjoying my Longines V.H.P 36mm L3.316.4

Recently purchased new off of eBay. Some great deals there at the moment.

Now looking into my next HAQ. Citizen or vintage Omega

Glad to join here and share my The CITIZEN AQ4091-56M.

I’m from China. It was difficult for me to join this forum. Because we can’t visit Google.com and thus I can’t pass the reCAPTCHA verification.
Recently, I’ve been choosing a HAQ watch.Because I’m tired of the errors of mechanical watches.
I’ve learned a lot of knowledge about HAQ from this forum, such as the principles of the movement, the mechanism of thermal compensation, etc. I’ve also seen many sharing posts from friends.
In return, I will also share my watch to everyone.

I bought…

Seiko HAQ wristwatch with a cesium atomic oscillator (chip-scale atomic clock)

As I discussed in below quote, Seiko has patented a new HAQ method with dual oscillators (likely based on an older Citizen method for which the patent has expired).

CitizenPromaster said:
———— NEW SEIKO PATENT WARNING ————–

What is also jumping out at me this time, is that JPS57116287A recently got cited by none other than Seiko Epson.

Citizen frequency correction patents

This thread is a discussion of three Citizen patents highlighted by @CitizenPromaster in the pinned TC thread.

This thread is not so much about this technology’s place in Citizen’s product line, if any, but about the invention on its own merits as an aid to energy-efficient quartz watch accuracy.

Attached as PDF, the US version of these patents are…
