Although I do not wear one nor want one, wrist watches always give me inspirations like this one.
from web: Manufacture Contemporaine du Temps is a young company that is managed by the master-founder Denis Jiguet and Gianluca Maina who for two years was the head of a Harry Winston department.

Sequential One is the first watch made the company. It is a concept watch with a unique time indication. The minute hand is not a retrograde one. When it comes to the marker “60″ the minute scale makes the 90 grades turn by this way opening a new aperture with an hour indicator. The figures in the aperture are shown with the help of elongated metal triangle blocks. The blocks turn together with the minute scale. The manufacturers called this model “sequential” (that means “by turn”). The seconds indicator is located at the other side of the case next to a micro-rotor of the autowinding and a module accumulating energy during one hour that is needed for the minute scale’s and hour blocks’ turn.
