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.

but in this case I prefer the dial side and the reversabilty does not enhance the appeal for me.

Thanks for the revelation FX.

...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!

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.

The watch look pretty cool! I like it!

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 time....?

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 beautiful now you can stare at that when you wear it as much as you will the dial side.  Very cool

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 french reader sent me this picture:

This sketch and system were created by Dominique Fritz.

Do you remember this Aaron?

... 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 overdone, IMHO....  His creation is always interesting and I look forward to the next one.

Thanks for sharing, FX!

And sadly this doesn't change my mind. Thanks for the news Foversta.

His crazy triple-tourbillon was just not an appealing piece

Its gigantic 65mm, simple tourbillon was not my taste too. The fabulous and historic caliber inside should have deserved better treatment.

And nice design too!
