Yes. I had the misfortune to have to install these in a whole house refurb. The customer had bought the switches :( . Luckily I had sight of them after first fix but before plastering was done as they are not wired as is the norm here in Blighty.
They were all glass-fronted touch dimmers. The wiring has a common live and one two or three outputs, for 1,2 or 3-gang dimmers. This meant the two-way switching for up and downstairs (on separate circuits, naturally) had to be completely rewired....

I did ask RetroTouch about another matter and never had a reply from them:
The three gang dimmer had a sticker on it that (to this day) I still do not understand..
any guesses.....?

They are very pretty though with a nice blue glow when they are on..
 
that's septic talk for do not work live.
 
I don't think I've ever seen an intermediate switch made up like that, I have a rather old porcelain one here and even that one has been designed properly and not cobbled together from 2 existing parts.
