Elegant and timeless. I'm not sure if it's the proportions or the patina (probably both), but it's so much better looking than a modern Datejust.
You'll notice that the Zeno-Watch is for lefties, with the crown on the right. That's because the movement is installed upside down and that's why the seconds dial is at the top of the watch rather than the bottom.
And that's the reason more watch companies don't do it. There are no commercially available movements that support a left-handed crown + a 12 o'clock seconds dial. Either you need to have the crown on the right or you need to custom-build a movement that will support just that one watch model.
There are a few watches out there with the sub-second dial at 9 o'clock. Those tend to use old pocket watch movements where the stem & crown was at 12 and the subdial at 6.
I've never seen it in person, but for me it might be the ALS 1815 Moonphase "Emil Lange" from 1999 in platinum or gold.
