This is an odd watch.

Opinions?

I think this watch is really cool!!! Sure to be a conversation piece!!
It is interesting to know that this is actually a mechanical watch. I wonder how much does it cost to service this thing as we need to do that every 3 years!

The hour cubes remind me a lot of the Harry Winston Opus 5:

idoitsavant · 30 June 2007, 10:09 PM

Hmmm... I would prefer the looks of HW over that of U.

I qwonder if they have a TT version......

Harry Winston makes some amazing watches. What does the Opus V sell for? About $750,000US?

mikey · 1 July 2007, 02:01 PM

Looks great, well made, and expensive

Relax, J.J. I understand that they can be ordered with a hologram sticker on the back.

Was that a Urwerk or train wreck, I bet it's mighty expensive, but even if I could afford it I wouldn't want it's particular design.

Mechanical ingenuity though.

Rubenonfire · 3 July 2007, 08:10 AM

I prefer the HW to the U, as well...though I don't really care for either.

No friggin clue how to read the time on either.

Plus I don't think I'm that cool.

About 25,000 quid for the Urwerk 201 thats say US$50k.

Think I'll keep lusting for the new GMT for now.

MotoLiam · 5 July 2007, 05:44 AM

Just saw in the Spanish edition of Stuff Magazine that this watch is going for 56,000 Euros, about $76,300 USD> Freaky, but interesting nonetheless because the movement is sure to be complex and fascinating.

iSellJerseyShore · 8 July 2007, 04:18 PM

During my last visit to Las Vegas in November 2006, I had my first personal encounter with the 103 Collection.

The 103 is a beautiful conversation piece. The illumination is absolutely unbelievable, very vibrant and long lasting. I can't remember if the price was $35K or $50K USD.

My memory is offset because of this completely diamond crusted Brietling that I had tried on, which was priced at $175,000.00 USD.... Ahhhhh.....
