Another favorite watch of mine - yes, I must have some aesthetic connection to Hysek.
I did some kind of service on this watch for a friend, and he offered to sell it to me but I declined - I can't remember exactly why. Now he's passed and the watch has moved on...
It's a beauty. But only one movement!

Two, two, two-movements in one
Does anyone else have a fascination with multiple-movement watches? I'm not suggesting a Jacobs 5-in-1 watch makes any sense on our wrists, but two movements intrigue me. Don't think that this multi-movement strategy is only for $39 eBay specials - some R...
Congratulations on the first addition to the year!
Jorg Hysek is apparently the man behind one of my favourite watch designs - the VC 222. The two you have seem to have a matching design aesthetic, with one being in a way double the other Another double watch that immediately comes to mind is the Breitlin...
Breitling co-pilot
Yes, you are exactly right - that\'s a sweet combination and I know where one is for sale right now! I\'ve never taken the leap but have been sorely tempted! There are two versions - digital and analog: (Photos from the web) ...
Nice - never seen the digital before...
I am actually very happy with my single movement Aerospace but had I continued in the aviation sphere, I can see myself being very tempted ...
Such variety too!
My (three) Aerospace(s) have been my single most-worn watch model and certainly my most well-traveled watches. First, early one - lost on the upper deck of a Virgin 747. Notice the rare "no overlapping at the arbor" hour and minute hands. Second one - sol...
Mine too!
It was the first nice watch I ever bought. From Yolanda. I was so excited, I pulled over half-way home and opened the manual to try to understand how to work it. And then to get the knack of spinning the crown... Aerospace owners will understand me on thi...
I definitely understand :)
The single crown looks nice but is ergonomically flawed...

Lovely!
I\'d want it in all steel but they are both fairly rare and relatively pricy. One day...
Reverso has one movement
Even though it has two dials, the Reverso doesn't qualify for this specialized category of 2-movement watch collecting. And yet we've had five Reversos in the family's fleet so far ... Cheers, Cazalea
Ok, I'll "cheat" a little...
What about the Reverso Hybris Mechanica a Triptyque? It could be almost called two movements; one time-telling movement in the reverso case while an entire perpetual calendar module built into the outer case frame of the Reverso... Or what about the FPJou...
Certainly the Resonance qualifies... I guess.
There are two winding crowns, are there not? And two displays? Just one main plate. (photo from this site) It begs the question - could some of the Duometres qualify as well? I don't know ... so confusing ... where to draw the line. Cazalea ...
