Unique Time Displays

Those are cool! Though the bottom one does look a bit confusing to read.

This is pretty much the only non-standard time watch I have. A jump hour Mr Jones.

I have a few watches with unique time displays:

Samuray automatic with a "digital" display with rotating discs for hours, minutes and seconds.

Humism Dasein, an automatic which uses rotating discs with pips to tell the time. The solid black pip acts as the hour marker, and the outline pip represents minutes. The disc used for the seconds has no pip. The patterns created as the seconds disc rotates can be quite mesmerizing. In the attached GIF, the time is approximately 3:40.

Phantasos TriClops automatic with a Wandering Hours complication. There are 3 "hands", each of which has a rotating cube with 4 hour markers. As an arm moves past the 6 o'clock position, the cube is rotated to show the next hour in sequence. The rehaut shows markings between the traditional 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions, which represent the minutes in 5 minute segments. The time is read using the top most arm. In the photo, the time is approx 1:42 (half way between 1:40 and 1:45).

Bradley eOne, a quartz watch which uses a tactile dial to allow the vision impaired to tell the time by feeling the position of the rotating ball bearings. The hour is identified by the ball bearing on the outside of the case, while the minute is indicated by the ball bearing on the dial. The ball bearings are magnetic, and will snap back into place with a quick shake if they should move when trying to feel the time. The time shown in the photo is 1:50.

The Slow Mo, a quartz watch with a single hand that shows the time using a 24 hour scale, so the hand makes a single trip around the dial each day. The time shown is approximately 20:30 (8:30 PM).

Another 24 hour dial, but this time in an automatic that also includes the traditional minute and seconds hand. This one really messes with my mind, since I tend to normally tell time simply by the position of the hands. In the photo, the time is 15:50 (3:50 PM), but with a quick glance, it would appear to be 1:50.

A JLC automatic with a "mystery dial". It tells time in the traditional manner, but the hands "float" on the dial with no obvious attachment to the center pinion.
