"It's the last time you'll see a thug so well-dressed," Al Pacino sings in Scarface, and this line rings true if we focus on his timepiece. This amusing and elegant city watch is based on a device that predates Brian de Palma's cult film. This principle of transparent dials already existed in invisible clocks, where transparent plates were painted with hands, and a mechanism hidden around the edge of the timepiece took care of turning them. Only 261 pieces.
