If you are very rich, you may be able to purchase an Equation watch. They are mostly limited-edition and take years  to make. The makers of these gems, of course, give little detail of their mechanics.
As far as I can see, all simulate the Equation of Time with a single cam..
Further information on their mechanisms would be appreciated.
