The 2824 and its clones all seem to be stiff to handwind. The Sellita version is also pretty stiff. I think it's a gear ratio thing.

I agree. First, it barely mentions the higher grade 2824's, and worse, disses ALL 2824 pieces by lumping them into one group. Top grade's adjusted to 5 positions, IIRC, and the daily rate is +/- 4 seconds; that's something rather different from a standard grade. Then there's the serious passive-aggressive condescension.

Don't get me wrong. Seen other articles that say the 1-11 is a good movement. This article's taking the attack dog approach, tho.
