"...MONOCHROME is more about the high-end segment of the watchmaking industry; the complicated movements, the perpetual calendars, the chiming watches, the exotic regulators, the independent watchmakers who create the most complex indications or tell the time in unusual ways. But this time, we dive deeper into one of the workhorses that drive Swatch Group growth, the Powermatic movement."

Cool read but there is no chance the Powermatic will make the 2824-2 obsolete. Not at a lower beat rate.

I will take the crap power reserve and higher beat rate all day, every day.
