The attachment of the index finger to the tuning fork made the accutron very shock sensitive. If the fork was shocked, it could cause the finger to advance the wheel several steps, leading to impriper time keeping. When the swiss ESA micements maker hired max hetzel, who designed the accutron, to design them a second-gen tuning fork movement, the fork was made more symmetric and the placement of the index finger was moved to a point in the fork that was less shock sensitive. This had the added benefit of greatly reducing the positional variance of the watch. The resulting esa9162 movement was widely used, including by longines, Omega, tissonic, baume and Mercier, and others.
