BP did use an ancient movement for that watch. The F.Piguet 1150 was originally meant for thin dress watches, but BP used it so they could have a 300m automatic diver that’s under 11mm thick but still has 100 hours of power reserve. The movement was designed without hacking and ran at a low 3Hz beat rate.
I agree, though, that any new movement design must include hacking at a bare minimum.
Picrel, next to a Swatchpain I picked up as a vacation souvenir.
