Abstract
An eccentrically designed watch is provided wherein the center of rotation of a watch is not located at the center of the watch face and is shifted vertically upwardly. The eccentricity is not observed by the user. A watch is provided in which the eccentricity factor is achieved in such a way to minimize working hours (only visual) eight (8) to four (4) hours and maximize four (4) to eight (8) non-working hours. Increments and actual numbers on the face of the watch increases in size from twelve (12) to six (6) hours and decreases from six (6) to twelve (12) hours to aid this effect.
