Watches where the movement actually moves

 
 By: cazalea : November 11th, 2020-12:00
Sometime early in my watch life I discovered a few watches where the movement doesn't just turn the hands around, it flips, spins, folds, and thus changes its position vs the strap or bracelet. I have had a few of these and sought others, but eventually g...  

A Cartier Basculante.

Mine has hers on the wrist since our wedding some 14 years ago. Still happily ticking away and just requires a new battery and strap every now and then. Yours is the rarer dark grey version, matches well with grey satin straps too

I have only one, but a great one...

JLC Reverso Septantième. Now there are also watches whose movements move me... But that's another story. Best, Nicolas ...

Pretty uncommon but really nice on the wrist. One side is pretty standard, the other one also has a jumping hour that is really fine.

Don't remember

Or probably don't know, but I remember a Chronoswiss (regulator?) that had the movement rotated 90 degrees to have the big big crown at 12 o'clock, ad looked like a pocket watch but I don't think it was detachable. Edit: you're right, and I also my memory...  

This UG is a similar idea, but it's 90 years old!

From 1929 and claimed to be years earlier than the Reverso! Nico - can you confirm? Cazalea ...  

Never saw this one before.

Not very useful, actually ...

Equally un-useful, but prossibly to compete with ladies Reversos? ...
