I'm pretty fan of my Junkers "Régulateur" (despite the spelling mistake on the dial)
A more risky proposition is my The One "Razor Block" binary watch, which I love the object but can't honesty say I'm really wearing
As for unobtainium watches, the Cartier "Masse Mystérieuse" takes it all : an automatic where the entire movement is inside the winding rotor - how crazy is that?
Main dial: Minutes
Small upper dial: hours
Small lower dial: seconds
The point here being legibility by separation of the hands. There's a history to them, as regulator clocks were used as reference timekeepers in watchmakers workshops. From niche to extreme luxury, many brands embraced the style' exercise.
This is the only glycine one I've seen with the magnifier, the newer ones don't have them... I don't know of any other 24 hour faces but I'm not an expert in any way.

Definitely crazy mechanism, but I feel like seeing my hairy wrist through the dial would compromize aesthetics.

The Glycine airman intrigues me, I haven't bought one... yet.

Very cool looking watch, but I definitely read the brand name as “quim” twice
