A great complication, now with an even more attractive dial than the standard version:






The Akrivia, ADC, and other entries are fantastic too, but this one takes the cake for me. Now if only I had a hundred grand lying around... smile

That little mechanism is an adjustable cam, the 'heart' of this watch's unique complication. Adjusting the cam allows the sunrise/sunset indicator to be accurate at different locations around the world. One must take the caseback off to adjust it (and I'm sure Krayon would rather you send it to them to do it), but it is nonethless adjustable. Jack Forster has a nice piece which goes into some detail about the mechanism and the watch in general: www.hodinkee.com
