Even though this watch is actually a steampunk-inspired creation — made apparent by the name, Vulcania — I can't help but think it has a futuristic steampunk feel due to the clean metals and design. Designer Fabrice Gonet dreamed up this watch three years ago and it is finally becoming a reality by being manufactured for HD3 Complication, a watchmaker.
Each aspect of the time is viewed in its own unique way. The hours has a Price is Right style rotating wheel and the minutes are viewed on a circular dial. A small window will also display the current date. Sapphire glass panels on the front and back and side port holes allow for all of the steampunk-y innards to be viewed.
It is extremely limited edition with only 11 watches being manufactured. It will be unveiled in Switzerland at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie this April.

They changed the name of the watch to Bi-Axial from Vulcania.
