    I have a question, have you ever seen one of this clocks? Do you know if they existed or all of them are just fantasy Chinese clocks?

    This one looks genuine.

    Many others are fake crap.

    I think the movement is Omega. The mid-case could be original, but those crystal-ball crystals were custom made.

    Interesting conversion.

    Well the photos are taken from the web, I choose them because this one looks original but as I said, there is so many copies and I haven’t found any real info about this clock so that makes me think if Omega ever make a bubble clock or is just a kind of legend that the Chinese’s make to sell clocks.

    That’s exactly what I think, Omega never did it, is some kind of weird experiment that someone did with some real Omegas….

    looks a converted Goliath watch. They were sold as travel clocks, usually in a wood or silver case with a hole in the front so the time can be read.

    I've seen a few Omegas, Longines and Doxas and lots with no name Swiss ebauche movements in them, but never one with that cool but insane conversion.

    It seems to have a flat on the back crystal, perhaps its a "desk" clock..... might even be original if thats the case.

    one off the web with the original case:

    [QUOTE = "Sanmilc, post: 557185, membro: 13059"] Isso é exatamente o que eu acho, Omega nunca fez isso, é algum tipo de experimento estranho que alguém fez com alguns Omegas reais ... [/ QUOTE]

    Olá a todos,

    O que está acima é falso :: facepalm1 ::, mas o Omega conseguiu :afirmativo:... eles são raros, mas existem

    Saúde

    If you set the clock an hour ahead on these you can see the future when you peer into the crystal ball.
