Well, I have seen the TH Monaco s a belt drive, but never anything like this. Looks like a belt drive. Wonder if its home made. Such an extraordinary length to go to, if it is home made. Imagination and skill. It would appear to be a little short in the hands department for reading the time though. Perhaps that’s me or the pic that they can’t be seen. Interesting. |

Chain I suspect as it has bicycle pedals in the middle. I don't think that this is a Swiss piece, I suspect that it's a small scale 'gimmick' piece with a quartz movement. |

The "belt drive" looks like the minute hand and I'd expect the pedals rotate as the seconds tick. |

Off-centre also? |
