  • the 18 hour and 20 minute hands are housed in the interior volume 4 of the watch case 2, between the crystal 8 and the back 6.
  • the 18 hour and 20 minute hands are here opaque and perceptible through the crystal. useful display opening 12.
  • the hour hands 18 and minute hands 20 are mounted to rotate with respect to the watch case 2, around the same axis substantially perpendicular to the crystal 8.
  • the timepiece 1 also includes a timepiece movement 22.
  • This timepiece movement 22 is housed in the interior volume 4 of the watch case 2.
  • the clock movement 22 is here masked by an opaque upper rim 24. of the caseband 10.
  • the clockwork movement 22 is hidden from the view of the owner, it is also possible to envisage making it visible through the useful display opening 12, in order to reinforce the mysterious effect obtained by the absence of a visible mechanical drive link between this clockwork movement 22 and the 18 hour and 20 minute hands.
  • the timepiece 1 here also comprises an electric power source 26 and an electronic power and control circuit 28 connected to the electric power source 26.
