    I don't think I could recreate this sober or drunk. I respect the dedication of whoever did this to some extent.

    I think this a perfect example of the rule often (and wisely) espoused by @Archer.

    "Only attempt to clean a dial if you are prepared to destroy it."

    (or words to that effect)

    Looks like the crystal is warped by heat, perhaps a fire or other exposure to a heat source caused this.
    Possibly someone trying to dry out a drenched watch under a heat lamp?

    I think I'd get motion sickness if I had to use this to tell the time.

    Thanks mate, I really think I nearly got there with this one. Just disappointed I couldn’t polish up the minute hand.

    Onwards and upwards.

    That's a conversation piece for sure.

    Maybe it belonged to Frank Gehry?

    Can anyone guess the movement from the pieces that are flying away?

    That's what I thought at first glance as well, but I think the glare in the top left is probably just a standard reflection from a high dome crystal. If the crystal were badly warped I think we would expect to see some abnormal bending of the indices and/or hands.
