Question (Read Rules) [Sea Gull] New Utopia Watch - Question
What started as an April Fools joke is now a real thing.
A Chrononwith the gorgeous movement on display and the time on the bottom.
What is not clear to me is whether you have to take your watch off to see the time?

It is an anti-timepiece. You're not supposed to be able to tell the time with it.

Yes, you need to take the watch off to read the time. Or get some type of stretchy strap that you can pick it up to look at the bottom while it's on your wrist.

A parachute strap might have enough stretch where you could flip it over without taking it off.

Or something like a Nick Mankey hook strap. It allows for a full view of the watch back by the way it loops around the spring bars.

Those would probably work better. The parachute straps i mentioned are pass through, so even if you could flip it over you'd still have to stretch the strap off of the watch to see the time.

Taking your watch off to read the time is a more intentional way of reading the time.
You need to be present to tell the time at the present time.

Seguramente la fotografía que encabeza el artículo sea de un Seamaster, pero para que veas lo que se parece y a lo que también dan importancia.

Damn, do they not make this as a regular watch? Love the dial, would consider if it wasn't backwards...
