    I’m pretty fan of my Junkers “Régulateur” (despite the spelling mistake on the dial)

    A more risky proposition is my The One “Razor Block” binary watch, which I love the object but can’t honesty say I’m really wearing

    As for unobtainium watches, the Cartier “Masse Mystérieuse” takes it all : an automatic where the entire movement is inside the winding rotor - how crazy is that?

        Main dial: Minutes
        Small upper dial: hours
        Small lower dial: seconds

        The point here being legibility by separation of the hands. There’s a history to them, as regulator clocks were used as reference timekeepers in watchmakers workshops. From niche to extreme luxury, many brands embraced the style’ exercise.

      Definitely crazy mechanism, but I feel like seeing my hairy wrist through the dial would compromize aesthetics.

        This is the only glycine one I’ve seen with the magnifier, the newer ones don’t have them… I don’t know of any other 24 hour faces but I’m not an expert in any way.

    Very cool looking watch, but I definitely read the brand name as “quim” twice
