AHCI member Rainer Nienaber has made many watches using retrograde displays over the years.
His newest model is now, just to mix us up a little, anterograde.
The hand doesn't spring backward, but springs forward.
If it didn't have the second hand this would be a one hand watch, it has no minutes hand. When the hand gets to 9:00 it jumps forward over the seconds hand and continues on its way.
One of the neatest watches of the show IMHO
Retro 2
Trio Retrograd 3
Tri-Retrograde
Retro 2 bicolor
Trio Retrograde 2
Trio Retrograd 1
Regulator version 2
Regulator version 2 bicolor
Regulator, note that most "regulator" wristwatches have the seconds at the bottom as on most small second watches. For this watch Rainer has recreated a real pendulum face where the seconds hand is at the top.
For those of you who need to be challenged to be happy. A decimal watch, 1 day is 20 hours (2x 10 hours) and each hour has 100 minutes. Figure it out !

i love his newest watch, and the one at the bottom is what i would call SMART watch. Faisal
The decimal watch sounds like a great idea.

If I buy this watch, I will need one hour's less sleep each night! Jokes aside, there are some beautiful Art Deco inspired designs here. Cheers Tony P
