Here is the latest new arrival, definitely fits into the Jeff made me do it category.
I always thought it was an awkward looking watch, but I became intrigued the more I read about it on various posts on OtD by Jeff and others. So when this one came up for auction a few weeks ago I went for it.
The gilt hands and markers are really cool; I tried to capture it in this (poor & unflattering) photograph. Not sure about the hand on the elapsed hours sundial, maybe that has been replaced?
I like how it fits into the line with it's other Heuer / Abercrombie brothers:
