In year 2000 I was doing many tests and experiments hoping that someday I may be able to make electronic circuit like this one. Learned that this small ladies watch caliber ETA 978.001 with 32,768hz quartz oscillator has plenty of semiconductors inside its IC that divide it 15 times and come up with one second divide it further and it has 0.05 or every 20 seconds intervals of motor pulses. One advantage is energy efficiency compared to 3-hands watch movement. Here in the second picture I have done it. I have designed this circuit to have motor pulses of every 30 seconds intervals using also a quartz oscillator as time base and running at +2 to 5 minutes per year. Watch for it how it will move big hands weighing approximately 130 kilos. Now my circuit is ready for action. The 14-meter wide dial is now getting its shape...
