Driven by his original idea and philosophy, Ludovic Ballouard went on to create his second model, the Half Time, which was presented in January of 2012. The Half Time continues with the idea of presenting time in an unusual way with a highly complicated jumping hour movement, which perpetually reminds you that the most important time is the present.
\nAll numerals are divided in half on two disks that rotate in opposite directions, making the numerals unreadable, except for the present time which is whole at the position of 12 o\u2019clock. The minutes are presented in retrograde which is set on a 120\u00b0 arc at the position of 6 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n
*The present watch has a special asian numeral dial, we can customise it for you.
\n\u2013 Available by special order, we will also make sure you meet Ludovic Ballouard in our showroom for a personal \u00a0handover followed by a lunch in Geneva.<\/p>\n
