No, not the new term for a group of watches, that is a 'confusion', this is a clock, which indicates the current time, only apparently to the nearest hour, build out of 12 watches. Bell and Ross took 12 automatic watches and designed the sections of the dial to indicate a number between 1 and 12, when all the sections line up. Then they skewed the watches so they line up at that hour. Finally all the watches are installed into a custom winder mechanism, so you don't have to take each one out and wind it. I think it is one of the more interesting things B&R have done, but that is more of an indictment of their usual work.
