The Franck Muller Crazy Hours effect.
The one you posted is rather more classy though.
I’ve been having dangerous thoughts about Tag Microtimers, but from what I’ve read they’re easy to damage and I’m a clumsy berk.

I love the Franck Muller crazy hours watches. I have a Cassablanca which is the same shape and design but couldn't afford a Crazy Hours.

The new Superman Heritage recreates the classic features of the original model with its distinct black dial and round markers, Recreating the iconic Yema bezel-lock mechanism and with a 990 feet / 300 meters water resistance, the Superman is designed for underwater diving. The steel case has been redesigned in 3D as per the original model then modified to accommodate a Sellita SW200-1 Swiss movement.

I can see the attraction, but not quite my 'style'

Wore my old Tag this week, just to keep it in use.

Dunno why that's news. I'm sure I saw it a couple of weeks back

The really impressive footage is of a guy in the US who gets a valuation on his Daytona.

But this article tells you what it actually sold for... (scroll to end).

I thought I’d add a couple more of mine, more recent arrivals.

Both made in England by Smiths, although one retailed by Benson who were a top jeweller until the 1970s.

The black dialled W10 model is the last English made watch issued to the UK armed forces, this one from 1968.

The Benson from c.1950 has an upgraded movement and is the closest in design to the special models given to and used by the Hunt/Hillary/Tenzing Everest Expedition in 1953. A Smiths watch very like this was the first to be worn on the top of Everest.

Both have Dennison ‘Aquatite’ waterproof cases, also made in England.
