- a series of hours indicia arranged along and following the circumferential boundary and surrounding an interior region of the dial face;
- a first time movement including respective hour and minute handles rotating about a respective center of the first time movement and having no hours indicia centered on the center of the first time movement;
- a second time movement including respective hour and minute handles rotating about a respective center of the second time movement and having no hours indicia centered on the center of the second time movement;
- wherein said first and second time movements are arranged in spaced relationship to each other, and each of said movements being settable and running independently of one another and further being spaced away from the geometric center of the dial face, and
- wherein the circumferential boundary is oval shaped and the centers of said time movements are spaced along a long axis of the dial face and wherein said minute handles of said time movements together span said oval shaped dial face;
