Abstract
An analog timepiece in which the hands are in a given set position, for example superimposed at 12 hrs, to indicate a time reference, for example noon. This timepiece has adjustment means to change the said time reference in relation to the dial. Thus, for example, reorientating the said time reference through 180.degree. to 6.00 hrs, a wristwatch designed to be worn on the left wrist can be converted into a wristwatch designed to be worn on the right wrist.
