Have you had the chance to see this new watch company yet ? They are Neuhaus Watches, and they just launched in 2010. Founded by Photagrapher, Painter, Designer, Graphic, and Media Designer, Manuel Neuhaus. Manuel became interested in watches in 2007, and watch face design. Later in 2008, after visiting Basel World he has the idea for his very own watch brand. Then in January 2010, NEAUHAS Inventing Timepieces becomes a reality. "The company represents quality, innovation, and unconventional solutions." "Expect the unexpected."
Their first watch is the Janus Doublespeed. A very unique one hand watch that tells the time in very different way. Actually rotating around the dial in six hours, rather than the usual twelve hours with most watches. Some of the specifications include an up-to-the minute mono hand display, modified for doublespeed ETA Unitas 6498 movement, night vision, with German, and Swiss Made parts. The watch also comes with a Milanese mesh band by Hermann Staib.
Found this information at Independent watch projects, along with the Neuhas website. Here are those two links for you, along with a video...
That is actually a pretty cool watch. Do you have any idea how much it costs?

Mark, looks like the strap version is EUR 1966.39 , and the mesh bracelet version is EUR 2092.44. Went to a currency converter website, and found out that is about $2712.45 for the model with a strap, and $2886.32 for the mesh version.

Kemmner also makes a watch like this, I doesn't double speeds the movement hand like this watch which is pretty cool. It would be hard to get used to the different way of telling time for me. Great looking watch!

Oh neat Ron ! I'm seeing that watch you are talking about from Kemmner sir. Really DOES look very similar, and the movement is the same too. COOL ! Thank you !
