Who said that a reversible watch has to be rectangular?
Reverso, Cabrio, Tank Basculante, they all share in common to be
rectangular even if they don't have the same reversible system, the most
handy one being in my point of view the JLC.
But I
would like to share with you this pictures of this Tourbillon from
Antoine Preziuso. The case is round and the watch is reversible. Look at
the pictures and you will understand how it
works:
Front
side:
Back side, you recognize the Concepto Tourbillon movement:
You lift the bezel by pressing the tab and you can start to reverse the watch:
You wear it the way you prefer... especially when you don't need a watch which tells the time!
Would you be ready to wear the watch with this visible side ? I would!
The system is clever but it leads to a thick bezel and makes the design of the watch much "heavier" for my taste. Anyway, it is an interesting attempt from Preziuso to create something unusual.

Interesting concept and gimmick...
but in this case I prefer the dial side and the reversabilty does not enhance the appeal for me. Thanks for the revelation FX. F
I like the movement side...
...better, frankly. Interesting and fun concept, but the entire watch is a little clunky in my opinion. It feels so heavy and ponderous just looking at the photos! Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Daos
Impressive achievement.
Just when you think that everything has been done and there is nothing new to come up with, someone comes up with a brilliant idea. I like the innovation in this case. Best regards, George
Clever idea!
The watch look pretty cool! I like it! It does look a little big but these days, they're all big! At least this one is big for a valid reason! Love both sides! I would have a hard time choosing which way to wear it!
Can't really understand the point...
I understand why the reverso was designed to be reversed but I really don't understand why this watch does. Why would anyone want to view the non-interesting side where you can't see the gracefull movement of the tourbillon and you can't even tell the tim...
Beat Haldiman pulled it off, maybe this guy thought he could too..
By the looks of it, it apprears he did. Very cool I think it is just another way of standing out. IMO with any watch you will always look at the dial side 100 x more than the movement side because of when it is on the wrist. With the mvmnt side so beautif...
I feel like I've seen that before....
and not just the DeWitt Only Watch piece... I'll have to let the little gray cells churn a bit more to remember where else... A
Maybe I have an answer for you.
A french reader sent me this picture: Credits: Chronomania. This sketch and system were created by Dominique Fritz. Do you remember this Aaron? Fx...
Interesting, well, gimmick...
... I admit. Even I do sometimes want to wear the reverse, for example, Datograph for its beautiful movement. But this one... yes, beautifully finished movement... but not that much to stare for more than 30 sec. Impressive creativity of Mr. AP, but a bit...
Antoine Preziuso has been somewhat disappointing in recent years
And sadly this doesn't change my mind. Thanks for the news Foversta. - SJX
Sadly I agree
Its gigantic 65mm, simple tourbillon was not my taste too. The fabulous and historic caliber inside should have deserved better treatment.
