A marvel I used to own, some 16  years ago....

With a super cool skeletonized grid pattern for the bridge/plate on the back. Very special.

I wish the subdials were a smoked crystal or something to add contrast so easier to read

Impossible to tell the time with, I suspect, but still looks awesome. The Arnold & Son Time Pyramid is likewise beautiful and marginally legible, but I love watches like this anyway. I appreciate that you have to take a moment to examine the (not) dial to tell the time. ;-D Thanks for posting this one!

Sadly not so much if you actually wanted to tell the time, or use any of the other myriad functionsโ€ฆ.
