Please fellow WC,I need answers from experts please.Does anyone know if a brand that did this other than Bovet?

I recently saw a Bovet watch that does not require manual adjustment for DST. First mechanical watch ever.
Made me wonder…. Have anyone here ever come across any watches that can do these;
1. Single-Crown Adjustment System: A sophisticated system where all settings (time, date, moon phase, etc.) can be adjusted through a single crown, possibly by rotating it in different ways or pulling it to different positions.
2. Touch Bezel: A bezel that can be touched or rotated to adjust various complications like date, GMT time zones, or even to wind the watch or set an alarm. This could be based on a sensitive mechanical system that interprets different touch patterns or rotational speeds.
3. Global Time Adjustment: A world-time watch with a mechanism that can adjust to any time zone’s local time with a single action, which also automatically adjusts the date and day/night indication accordingly.
4. Sidereal Time Complication: A highly complex feature that not only keeps solar time but also tracks sidereal time, which is based on Earth’s rotation relative to fixed stars
Let me know please.
Cheers and Thanks
As the slur implies,I’m a whore for watches.Cant help it.
You got yourself a very special piece. Congrats.
Amazing watch .. I was ready to break out the check book then noticed no micro adjust .. haha joking.
As the article notes, these problems are easily solved with a digital watch. Taking on the challenge with a mechanical is both admirable and absurd.
Still, I've always wanted a watch (digital or otherwise) where you could adjust the timer, alarm with a twist of the bezel. If someone knows of such, let me know!
