Wandering Hours

Saw that the Jump Hour complication had a spotlight so thought this oddball deserved a chance. 

This is my Outlaw Drift by Gorilla Watches. It's probably my most bombastic piece. The blue is vibrant, the anthracite dial catches light playfully, and the case would normally be rather unwieldy on a weightless rubber strap but thanks to the titanium construction it is a pleasant experience on the wrist. The real star of the show is the titular Wandering Hours complication. Sometimes I play to set the time just to watch it move. 

I know Urwerk calls it a Satellite Time display as well. Anyone else out there wearing this way to tell time?

That looks absolutely awesome!  I supported the Phantasos Triclops Kickstarter campaign.  Don't know if / when I'll get the watch.  Didn't know this wandering hours complication thing was a thing!

I'm old school.

I like to be able to tell the time at a glance without using a decoding device.

I much prefer this "wandering hour"

Now get off my lawn!

In my research on the complication when I was first debating on getting the Gorilla, this watch seemed to be the alleged progenitor to the complication. What a beaut.

That's really cool.  I'd definitely wear it (because I'm so cool, and such)

That's pretty funky. How do you read the time?

Funky, I likes.

The hour only matters when it's pointing at the minute track. In the wrist shot (not the fuzzy lume shot) it is 2:56. It's difficult at first but now I can read it faster than just a regular 2 hander.
