Very interesting 'invention piece' watchHere's a watch that has a look of a vintage explorer theme, and seems just about as confusing as the days before GPS. It's the "Invention Piece 1" watch from Greubel Forsey.

Believe it or not, there are 22 watches in this baby, and an enormous amount of inner workings. This may have something to do with its former code name, "the completely redundant watch." At least, if I were naming it that's what I would have chosen.

Ian Skellern, from the company that made the watch, describes how it works: "Not quite sure how to tell the time? The red arrow pointing towards the center of the dial indicates the hours, while the blue arrow displays the minutes. The inside tourbillon cage rotates in two minutes so there are two arrows 180° apart. The time shown above is 5:17. To complete the indications on the dial we have traditional seconds at 11 and 72 hour power reserve at 2."
