Why It Belongs

The Back-In-Time Series 2 proves that innovation doesn’t always come from adding more complications. By reversing the direction of time and pairing it with a natural turquoise stone dial, Azimuth has created a watch that feels refreshingly different while remaining surprisingly easy to enjoy every day.

The Story

The turquoise stone dial is naturally the first thing that catches your eye, with every dial carrying its own unique pattern. Then comes the surprise—the watch tells time in reverse. After a few minutes on the wrist, what first feels unfamiliar quickly becomes intuitive, making the experience far more engaging than most traditional two-hand watches.

Originally introduced in 2009, the Back-In-Time collection became one of Azimuth’s signature creations by challenging one of watchmaking’s oldest conventions. Series 2 refines that original idea with updated construction and a cleaner design, while staying true to the playful philosophy that made the collection so memorable.

Collector’s Insight

The Back-In-Time isn’t a watch most people buy as their first mechanical piece. It usually finds its way into collections that already have the classics. Collectors are drawn to it because it offers something genuinely different—not through complexity, but through a simple idea executed exceptionally well.
