New at the Basel watch fair this year, Milus brings out this very nice looking retrograde skeleton timepiece.

From their press release we learn:
The name of the TIRION is derived from the constellation of Orion, one of the most easily recognizable and brightest in the heavens, located in the equatorial region of the sky. The TIRION TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton is available in a stainless steel version and an exquisite red gold version. The seconds retrograde are separated in three, twenty-second sectors each. An exclusive, special version of the timepiece also includes a Swiss quality mechanical movement with automatic winding.

Gerald Genta is a name that is usually well known in horology circles. Probably one of the most famous Swiss watchmakers, Genta was known for his unusual designs that challenged the establishment in watchmaking. Now, there is a company that is trying to live up to the master watchmaker in both style and unique design. Taking their cues from the automotive industry, Gerald Genta watches in their highest form feature retrograde movements and dial designs reminiscent of speedometers in classic vehicles. Take the Retro Solo for instance, with it’s simple styling, reminds me very much of a 1960’s era Chevy speedometer. Nothing short of classy, this timepiece would surely make any collector bubble with excitement.
