"Dream watch" meaning one that doesn't exist....yet. Mine would be a Pita Oceana 2000m with alarm. Seems like Aniceto could make the bezel set the alarm, just as the bezel at the back sets the time. Maybe options could be setting the alarm to the hours or minutes. Hours: alarm clock. Minutes: dive timer. That's my dream watch; what's yours?  |

Still, with your alarm Pita, I wonder how a back-bezel with 2 directions could do 3 different operations... Or the hour/minutes hands could only be processed in one direction and the other bezel direction would be for the alarm: Also only modulated in one direction. Or the bezel-back should pop-out on another level like a crown: But it would compromise the water tightness seriously with a such exposed gasket in a swivel system. |

I was thinking the top bezel would set the alarm. Pita uses a patented design: "Two patented systems for a water-entry free case: Pita-TSM (Time Setting Mechanism) and Pita-RT (Remote Transmission). No crown, no back cover, no weak points." Last edited on Fri Oct 12th, 2012 10:43 am by timesofplenty |

He created a regulating bezel-back as he didn't want that the time could be affected by any unwanted shock/push/grab on the bezel... You could have a bezel lock system like the Glycine Lagunare/PloProf and it would work. |

So for my dream watch who doesn't exist... Would like a perpetual movement with a rotor/hammer actioned by a permanent magnetic repulsion system: Due to similar poles facing each-others. The rest of the movement would be isolated under a special cage to stay uninfluenced by the magnetism. Due to the strong magnetism of this system, the cage would have to be thick, pushing up the watch-case thickness...But it should be possible in reasonable size if the cage's material is a good isolator. Of course, the rotor would turn permanently and a usual clutch system would avoid over-winding of the mechanism. It could be stopped by simply reversing one of the permanent-magnets with a crown, changing it's pole and have it to attract the rotor instead of repulsing it. Still a big engineering adventure... |
