The history of the wandering hour watch complication dates back nearly 400 years, when the Campani brothers developed the concept for a clock made for paper. However, this complication is rarely used in watchmaking, largely due to the challenges associated with its execution. Popularized by Audemars Piguet and adopted by avant-garde independent watchmakers like Urwerk, wandering hour complications are typically found only in watches costing tens of thousands of dollars. In creating its first version, the Triclops, Phantasos decided to use this unique and captivating complication in a limited edition, but at an affordable price.
With the Triclops Night Walker, Phantasos has gone beyond the classic execution of wandering hours; Instead of using three independently rotating date discs to display the hours, the Triclops uses an “hourlisk”—a four-sided rectangular cylinder that rotates along its axis, showing only one digit at a time. Known as the rotating hour indication, this complication was first developed by Urwerk as part of its partnership with Harry Winston on the Opus 5 and refined in later Urwerk pieces like the UR-202. While otherworldly at first glance, reading the hours is surprisingly easy. The number displayed on the uppermost arm indicates the current hour, while the arm itself points to the minutes on the compressed minute track displayed only on the top third of the dial (the traditional 10 to 2 o’clock position). After 60 minutes, the hourlisk rotates, resetting itself for the next time it is needed; meanwhile, the previous arm begins the cycle again, simultaneously displaying the hour and minutes.
