Disclaimer: I don’t do diplomacy,
so with that said, this watch (to my eyes) can be summed up in a single word… junk!
Why do I say that, and without any reservation whatsoever?
The price is an utter joke. The movement used and finishing is so far removed from the price being demanded that it’s grossly insulting!
The novelty is childish – it’s reminiscent of the snake game on ancient Nokia handsets.
The choice of colour for the hours, minutes, and both pointers is poor.
I’m all for novel/creative ways to provide a time display – A Lange & Sohne’s Zeitwerk, Urwerk, Nord Zeitmaschine Variocurve, MCT Sequential, Pierre Kunz Insanity, Pierre DeRoche Royal Retro, Cyrus Klepcys, Konstantin Chaykin, Harry Winston Opus 12, (there are a few other brands I know I’m struggling to recall) and each one I would happily and proudly strap on my wrist.
And with all respect to you, I wouldn’t exactly call this a review, since it lacks proper objectivity and skirted past both the finishing and price tag, but rather more of a puff piece.
When you consider what this sort of money buys in the form of a Greubel Forsey, Christophe Claret, or Andreas Strehler, it really hammers home how everything about this watch just doesn’t stack up price wise.

By the time I figured out what time it is
I would be VERY late to whatever I am supposed to be on time for.
Thx for this great review.
I’m quite open to new concepts so this is interesting. I don’t think you can read the time on this watch though. But who cares? Dirk
Needs a big step up in finishing plus a dial so we can read the time.
The taiji ("yin-yang") layout is awesome, why obfuscate that?
Thank you so much for writting this review and for all of the lovely photos! I love the watchbut I would not buy it if I had the money

This watch certainly has “wow factor”...
From the prospective of the movement, dial and price, but the decoration on the central bridge is very disappointing.
