====== Anticlockwise ======
A number of watches have been produced that rotate anticlockwise rather than clockwise.

===== History =====
In [[1987]], [[Beuchat]] launched the [[Beuchat Envers ACW]], perhaps the first [[anticlockwise]] watch from a major brand. It used a special-purpose movement produced by [[France Ebauches]].

The spread of anti-clockwise watches in the 1990s was lead by [[Ronda]], with their Cal. 763 R "Return", which was made for this purpose in [[1994]].

[[Juvenia]] introduced their **Contresens** in [[2001]], with large skeleton hands that rotated anti-clockwise. The [[2002]] Contresens replaced the hour hand with a disc.

The Seiko 6M25 and 6M26 "dancing hands" movement runs clockwise in time and chronograph modes but anti-clockwise for a countdown timer mode.

In [[2014]], the nation of Bolivia installed an anti-clockwise clock at the National Congress building in La Paz.

In [[2016]], [[Klokers]] introduced the **KLOK-01** with three discs rotating anti-clockwise.
