I’m pretty fan of my Junkers “Régulateur” (despite the spelling mistake on the dial)
A more risky proposition is my The One “Razor Block” binary watch, which I love the object but can’t honesty say I’m really wearing
As for unobtainium watches, the Cartier “Masse Mystérieuse” takes it all : an automatic where the entire movement is inside the winding rotor - how crazy is that?
Main dial: Minutes
Small upper dial: hours
Small lower dial: seconds
The point here being legibility by separation of the hands. There’s a history to them, as regulator clocks were used as reference timekeepers in watchmakers workshops. From niche to extreme luxury, many brands embraced the style’ exercise.

Definitely crazy mechanism, but I feel like seeing my hairy wrist through the dial would compromize aesthetics.
