These are mock-ups, aren't they, Frans!

Nobody is actually producing watches like that.

baldyspoon · 30 June 2009, 06:11 AM

wow what fantastic watches, just goes to show what can be done. I'd sell all my Omegas for one of those.

What an interesting modern adaptation of the early sun-dial. Very unique and tends to pique my more softer side. I must ask though, can you spew Budweiser out of your nose while wearing one?

Lisa · 1 July 2009, 12:39 PM

Well, let me be a little bolder - they really ARE intriguing, and I kind of like them - very creative.

rmcarlton · 1 July 2009, 02:20 PM

Very different. Thanks for sharing.

BABKA · 19 July 2009, 08:38 AM

I may be going against the grain here when I say I have seen Urwerk's designs in the flesh and they are astounding. Albeit very pricey, the new 202 in rose gold blew me away.

BABKA · 19 July 2009, 08:39 AM

There's a website in French with some intricate pictures. If anyone's interested in seeing it , you may PM me.

Psmith · 19 July 2009, 10:16 PM

This I like...

LE of 25 pieces, $90,000 a pop

Styling inspired by contemporary supercars - Lamborghini, I would say...

Cheers

kzm40 · 19 July 2009, 10:56 PM

Remember this one.. The 300,000 dollar watch that dosn't actually tell the time, so last year apparently..

asadtiger · 20 July 2009, 05:20 AM

some of those contraptions show true genius....but nonetheless, they are highly unconventional so the old-school might entirely disagree with us youngsters here, eh right JJ, Frans?

Goodwatch · 26 August 2009, 05:57 AM

Again, we continue:

The Hamilton ODC X-02 (Pronounce Odyssey and think about a certain movie):

The MB&F 'Starcruiser' (another JJ special

):

the*roser · 1 October 2009, 03:07 PM

very interesting looking watches but not my type

deserted · 21 October 2009, 07:54 AM

TSW · 21 October 2009, 11:26 AM

TSW · 21 October 2009, 11:27 AM

You check your cellphone

Actually, if you have any of these watches, your cellphone is probably at least a Vertu, so you can just call the concierge and ask him/her to remind you of which city you are in, what time it is, and please, oh, please, send you a snack of Cristal champagne and beluga caviar.

vman · 23 October 2009, 10:56 AM

Azimuth's are pretty interesting and you can get one for under $3K. I saw a bunch at http://www.collectorstime.com/azimuth.php.

snow_rocks · 19 December 2009, 07:07 AM

some of the best time-keeping

architecture to date. Definitely

not for right sided thinkers,

or should I say lookers-on.

kyle L · 19 December 2009, 02:01 PM

Wow look at those complex gas meters....

Goodwatch · 25 August 2010, 06:05 AM

We continue on our quest, another one of the 'if you have to ask for the price you can't afford it' category:

If you want to know: 155,000 Euro, so cheap......

That would look just fine on the dashboard of a sports car!!

dysondiver · 25 August 2010, 06:11 AM

put a ceramic bit on them and they would have people on a waiting list begging to pay over the odds to own one ,,, or is that a different thread,,,
only teasing , could some one bung up a pic of the strange bugatti watch , see ow its recieved

You are very, very close! On a vintage jet-fighter is what the makers envisioned. Want one?

Before you start a rant: the movement is one of the most complicated ever produced, a feat that e.g. Rolex will never, ever be able to repeat. But I will take the money instead of this.......

Numismatist · 25 August 2010, 06:17 AM

It really makes you wonder if they can sell these kinds of watches at those prices. The market must be very small for the most discerning buyer.
