A new German brand has been launched: NEUHAUS.
Here's their fist watch - the Janus Double Speed, an innovative one hand watch.
The Janus Double Speed one hand watch runs with double speed, meaning 360° in six hours. This is why for each hour there are two cyphers, six hours apart from each other. It is up to you if it is two o´clock or eight o´clock. The hour of course is divided in half hours, quarter hours and five-minute sections. These sections are, because of the double speed, twice as big as normal and therefore directly legible.
Instead of using a sweep hand which doesn’t make a lot of sense with regards to a one hand watch, Neuhaus have fitted the watch with anew and unique running indication. In a glance you can assure yourself that your JANUS is running. A black and white disc turning beneath the watch dial indicates the change of colours which takes two seconds.
