I think it would look better with lines for 3 and 9.

Made in USA? 17 Jewels? You and I have just two Jewels which are plenty enough.
Upgrade to Digital. Next you will want to do net with an Analogue computer.

@OP
I find it, on some level, intellectually satisfying. Thanks.

I would probably buy one if I was rich but I can't really think of when you would actually wear something like that. Maybe if you work in a pit stop for f1 races.

That is the thing though, since it doesn't fit in with a lot, it creates its unique style. The style of not fitting in.

@590,802 (B)It definitely has that.
What do you think about this one? It's made for the blind. The outside ball tells the minutes and the inner ball the hours.

very cool, but i wonder how they prevent the mechanism from getting dirty since it's got no crystal and the "hands" must interact with the gearing somehow. i wonder if the ball is in a channel and the mechanism uses magnets to pull the little bearings around.
oh yeah, i guess it could be quartz, if so then i guess those wouldn't need to be kept as clean internally, then i guess the ball could just be mounted to a disk on the hand shafts. bet it's not water resistant though. but i dig the styling.

awesome. it uses magnets to turn the bearings and it IS water resistant, not water proof, but it can get wet and be fine. pretty cool for $285. but, it's a kick starter thing so don't expect replacement parts to be easy to find at the local jeweler.

hmm, it actually uses an off the shelf mechanism but has a unique internal casing that does the real work. so it might not be hard to service after all.
looks like a pretty damn solid design

Yeah it uses magnets. I think you can probably get it clean with a q-tip or something.
