Time For A Convertible: Watches With More Than One Face

One side of the watch is a traditional high-end automatic mechanical movement, while the other side is a complex quartz based computer with the time, and a number of other functions. Here you have what some might consider the best or both worlds - The emotion of mechanical movements, and the sophisticated technology of a quartz based multi-function watch.Ritmo Mvndo PersepolisHere you have another flipping dial watch. Done just a little bit differently by Ritmo Mvndo (Mundo). The entire case is a large case and twirls around like a coin to reveal another case on the other side. An interesting concept that works nicely in this large sized watch.A dashboard clock inside of the car, a pocket watch, and a wrist watch. The case itself can be transferred from place to place - such as this wrist strap module. I previously wrote about the Parmigiani Bugatti Tourbillon watch here.Halda Concept Space Discovery WatchNo times to discuss at length the interesting, actually tested in space, Space Discovery watch by Swedish Halda Concept. What is important here is that the watch case actually a module that can be removed, as well as flipped over.
