This ingenious mechanism was first developed and patented by Gaston Cusin, who was inspired to create this design by the way in which periscopes operate. The quartz crystal prisms and mirrors allow the dial, which is concealed in the base, to become visible, but only from a certain angle. This timepiece is accompanied by its original fitted box.
