Watches with a small-seconds register

References in the Grail Atlas catalog carrying the small-seconds complication.

Small-seconds places the running seconds on a sub-dial, most often at 6, sometimes at 9, rather than on the central hand. It is a movement-architecture signature: most hand-wound dress calibers (Lange L051, Patek 215 PS, Omega 321) drive a small-seconds wheel natively. The Lange Saxonia Thin, Patek Calatrava 5196, and Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Small Seconds are canonical examples.

A separate small dial, usually at six or nine, carrying its own seconds hand on its own axis so the three hands never overlap.
