While the Earth completes a full spin on its axis in 24 hours, most watches take only 12 hours before returning to their point of departure. Not so for the “Nuit et Jour” (Night and Day) watch from Cimier, featuring hands indicating each of the 24 hours in a day, along with a sun to symbolise noon and a moon representing midnight. This original time display is driven by an additional module, while a transparent case-back enabling one to admire the Swiss-made movement further enhances the visual appeal of the steadily passing hours.
