Fun with Novel Time Displays
All:
It dawned on me that my collection lacks a watch with any sort of novel time display. This includes retrograde displays, jump-hour displays, and/'or "hypermodern" displays (eg rotating cubes/wheels such as Urwerk, AP Starwheel etc.).
Just curious about which watches feature some of your favorite novel time displays across various "levels" of horololgy.
Some of my favorites include:
Seiko Disc Burger
Chronoswiss Delphis
Chronoswiss Digiteur (although I wish this was a larger piece)
Bovet Open-Work Jump Hour
AP Millenary Star Wheel
Of course, post photos if you've got 'em.
Best,
Mitch

I wish AP would reissue the StarWheel..
in some form. It is becoming increasingly difficult to source good examples of the "vintage" Star Wheels. Perhaps a redesigned Millenary version driven by a variant of Cal 3120.... Mitch
