Interesting new release, with the escapement separated from the rest of the movement and placed above the dial:

[Imitation of Life]

Definitely interesting, but it's not particularly good looking.

[tigerpac]

Probably much better to watch it in action vs pictures.

[Nokie]

Very unique looking.

Thanks to the OP for posting such a unique watch
I like that the moving elements are showcased by being above the dial, rather than the 'loads of cogs' look of skeletons, or the 'peering through a knothole' look of open hearts.
Very cool
