    Cheers chaps!! They aren't the most understated watches in the world I must admit!

    Ah ha, well, the Dinosaure and Magique run on basically the same movement, the quartz movement is build around the inner case and the hands are painted on two tiny sapphire crystal disks with teeth on the outside, picture speaks 1000 words:

    Cool watch! Looks very fragile too.
    One listed on eBay.Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Quite elegant IMHO. My budget doesn't reach the stratosphere though...

    Pricey, and too much risk of it bricking. I just looked on the Extranet at the parts listing for the Cal. 1355. Of all the 71 parts listed, exactly zero are still available...

    At first I thought they were powered by very small mice running on a treadmill and then I realized they each contain a mini nuclear reactor.
