The Jason Dessel "sui generis" Watch Collection.

Only the most unique and unusual watches qualify!

Over the years, I've tried to limit my collection to the more unique timepieces I could find. I sold off most my everyday watches that lots of people have in favor of the uncommon.

 

Enjoy! Please email me at dopa!!mine@mail.com (remove the !! - it keeps away the spammers!) if you have any more suggestions for me or just to let me know what you think of my collection.

I'm always looking for new additions, when money permits.  Watches are a fun, addicting, but expensive habit! And now, it's time to meet the family...

The Angular Momentum Tradition. The entire dial rotates so that the current hour appears at the top (the '12:00'). That means no hour hand is required! Although the numbers move, the minutes can be determined by the position of the other hand.

The Otium Sphaera. Again, no hour hand! This time instead of rotating the whole dial, the hours are represented by little ball bearings that move. You read the hour by looking for the ball bearing that's all the way out, and look at the location of the next one over clockwise... so below, the time is 2:10.

The Chronoswiss Delphis. The hours, minutes, and seconds are all represented a different way. The hour is in the box, the minute is a "jump hand" which flies back to 0 after reaching 60, at which point the hour is incremented by one. Seconds are on the bottom.

The Anonimo D-Date. Well, maybe they're not all *super* unique. This beauty is crafted after the Panarai watches of '50s. It's as heavy as it looks! I fell in love with the unique colored dial, and my wallet suffered!!

Schauer One-Hand. This beautiful watch is handmade in Germany by Mr. Schauer. The model you see below usually comes with a white or creme background, but less than *10* of them were made with the blue, and I have one! The craftsmanship is unparalleled... down to the hand-tightened screws around the dial.

Zodiac Moonphase (circa 1950's). Love Vintage. The arrow shows the date!.tVintage Zodiac Moonphase

A watch for the blind! This old Russian watch works by pressing the small button in the center of the crown which pops open the acrylic crystal. The wearer can then feel the hands and bumps over the 3, 6, 9, and 12 to tell the time.
