Designed by Stephane Lacroix-Gachet of the Lucky Luxe design studio in Geneva, the spectacularly unique Démence Timepiece was originally introduced as a concept watch, but a planned production of 21 pieces will evidently materialize in 2019. Pending a later material change, the 43mm square case is constructed from white ceramic, featuring movement is designed to have indication systems on both sides. The inner part of the case, seemingly encase in essentially a sapphire crystal box, can be flipped so that the wearer chooses which dial to display. On the more traditional side, there are an array of decorative diamonds that adorn the hour marker ring. On the reserve side, there are sets of six diamonds on small sections made to resemble dice, and the sections move around to indicate the time digitally. Under the hood is a manually wound mechanically movement, tuned to have a frequency of 3Hz along with 40 hours of power reserve. Pricing has yet to be announced, but we do know that the Démence Timepiece will cost less than $350,000.
