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

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.
