...but from these photos it would appear that neither of the watches is keeping time: the piston ring does not line up with a numerical position that would reflect the elapsed time on the hours disc. Is that so?

Kudos to both for having something for us at Basel, and especially for presenting a collaboration - there should be more of it.
Cheers,
pplater.

...and thank you especially for the photograph of the prototype. You are a master of catching the very genesis of these Indie masterpieces: one of your shots of Oeschlin's prototype MIH is a great personal favourite. Cheers, pplater.
This is very cool and different....

Overall a nice effort on the part of these 2 independent watchmakers. Personally I would have preferred a running small seconds of some sort as the watch suggests motion and activity, but there will be little of it when viewing the timepiece. Having said ...
