This new reversible Hamilton is produced to only 888 pieces.
The case seems to be rotating somehow to permit the use of both faces...
It's one of the new models presented at Baselworld 2013

+1. 2 movements in 1. Just wondering where the crown for the time only face is. Pushers of the chrono are there but what about the other one? I also miss the date on the time only face.

The answer is in the down middle picture.
A hidden lever actioning the other crown and stem, reveals itself when you rotate the inner watch case in the frame of the watch.

Thanks for that expanded view Will! Very interesting design for sure.

I was wondering the same thing Jeff was above!

53mm x 44mm rotating case to house the two movements and a $6550 price tag...

I kind of like the aggressive showing from Hamilton to put something different out there. It is certainly pricey for a Hamilton, but serves as a sort of upper echelon halo piece I suppose.

I didn't know about the price-tag and this is a chill-off!
Specially from Hamilton and the fact that they use affordable ETA movements. The brand is owned by Swatch group and has the first hand in ETA picks.
They certainly should explain why this model is so pricey since I never expected that the earlier ones was 100% Swiss at all.
They would never have reach so low prices in the past if not using Asian parts: We all know how it works...
