Baselworld 2010: Rainer Nienaber

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

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 !

EDITOR'S NOTE

Quirky German collection; perfect for some PuristS with a sense of Teutonic humour.
