Horological Meandering: Another horological question

As I look at my wife's datejust which I believe is a 28mm watch, it makes me wonder about movement sizes. First I am truly impressed in seeing such a small watch run and be robust. But it leads me to another question. Is there an optimal size of movement(up or down) where the technical aspects becom

Horological Meandering: Watch size and Accuracy

Omega: Plo Prof Running Extremely Fast

Hello all i have a 5to 7 month old plo prof with cal 8500 movement and have enjoyed the watch. I ran about 2sec fast per day. Over the weekend, I began to pick up time in a most extreme way.
