watch-slowing

Postby Beardy » Sep 3rd, '07, 12:57



hey guys.

Just wondering, is there a way to slow down the second hand on a watch, but not stop it? Obviously, a certain ring would stop the watch, but slowing it down...well, without having an unnatural movement of my finger, a certain ring wouldnt really do the job.

Anybody know of a way for this to happen?

Cheers guys and gals!

good lad...i would just say, experiment with what you already have, but as with alot of things, its the distance away from the time in hand that will have the right effect :wink:

Kronos by Yves Doumergue...

Not sure if this does what you need, but it's as close as you'd get.

Bear in mind... there aren't many watches which move smoothly, without a tick. The ones which DO tick have a 1 second gap... you could control a watch to tick slower using the tried and tested method blarted out above (in your first post, naughty) by gently undulating your movements.

I'm imagining this trick being performed in a strip club and the undulating might distract them. :lol:
