Geometry geeks and design devotes will undoubtedly be captivated by Paramount Time Square, the first watch in the world to have an hour hand that moves along a square path.
Made possible through an ingenious combination of oscillating wheelwork and planetary gears, its wandering three-pointed hour indicator pirouettes as it advances down its trajectory according to the principle of hypocycloids.
As a result, with the passing of every hour, each point of the indicator (coloured red, blue and black) take turns to mark the hours on the square inner dial with matching coloured indexes.
Running on the newly developed automatic JR1100, a variation of the renowned JR1000 movement, it adopts a Bauhaus style 36.3mm x 36.3mm brushed stainless steel case with titanium shafts and crown.
