If CW was to produce a small seconds watch, what would you want to see?
Case size
Lug width
Dial color
Sub seconds dial color
Location of sub seconds register
Lumed hands?
Lumed indices? Some or all?
It’s always interesting to see what folks dream up in their mind’s eye. Thanks!

Case size
I don’t want any more round cases. I want either rectangular (like the Tank or Reverso) or tonneau (Franck Müller or VC Malte). Max size around 34-35 mm across, 42 mm L2L, case height under 9 mm. Rose gold. Hand wound.
Lug width
20 or 22 mm
Dial color
Sub seconds dial color
Black
Location of sub seconds register
6:00
Lumed hands?
Lumed indices? Some or all?
Absolutely not. RG dauphine, leaf or sword hands. Applied RG bâton indices possibly with Romans at III, VI, IX, XII

Re: A simple small seconds 3 hander
I think the smaller C65 case would be an ideal start for me:
38 mm ø
20 mm strap
45 mm lug span
Box crystal
No partly occluded numerals from the small seconds dial.

Re: A simple small seconds 3 hander
Very interesting to see what direction folks would go with this. Came across this one and thought it was quite nice.

Re: A simple small seconds 3 hander
Do it with the Twelve.
40mm - remove date window and have the small seconds there.
36mm - should be easier without a date window.

Re: A simple small seconds 3 hander
I would be happy with something like this Tribus. They based all their watches on the same 41mm case and dial design, sometimes repurposing the 6 o'clock subdial area.
I posted this in today's Non CW of the day, but I'd happily see this sort of thing.
