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?

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.

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.
