That is a rotor to a Breitling, which model I do not know though...

It is mounted on the movement and swings around when you move your arm (e.g. walking) and tensions the mainspring.

Might be the case, absolutely. At least it looks like a rotor though ;)

The OP mentions that the overall dimensions are 6'' across and 2'' high so definitely not a real rotor. I suspect a paper weight mock-up of a rotor. I've never seen one before. Pretty cool. :)

That's what I was trying to subtly hint at (too subtly apparently).

I'm guessing that it's a generic thing that just has different brands logos put on it as it's not accurate for a Breitling rotor.

Any more pictures of that? Does the rotor come out of the case? Can it be mounted to a wall? It's pretty cool regardless.
