1. A timepiece comprising:
a base;
a case holding a time display;
a frame to which the case is pivotably connected for rotation about a first axis, the frame pivotably connected to the base for rotation about a second axis between an extended and a retracted position, the frame forming a two-axis gimbal supporting the case; and
a gimbal coupling mechanism operably coupling the frame and the case whereby rotation of the frame from the retracted position to the extended position then back to the retracted position rotates the case about the first axis to facilitate flipping of the case so as to selectively hide or show the time display.
