Amazing watches!

robert777 · 04-06-2009, 05:53 PM

I have always been passionate about watches
when I was a child I use to collect all kinds of watches among other things(nothing to fancy)...now I'm wearing "umbro",I bought it two yers ago from London, its a good watch

I always find time to read articles about watches, to observe how the trend evolves
I thought it will be a good idea to share these new models with you and to hear your opinion about watches...so..let's start:

1.Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Vertical is a true work of art. 1352 pieces are carefully arranged in a single mechanism, which cuts your breath just watching him. Miniature two cylinders are connected by a chain with 450 meshes.

2.Fortis IQ is unusual because of the dial like broken from an hour of math. Each figure is represented either as such or by a simple operation situated on a chalk board.

3.Who has not tried real handcuffs, can choose the watch "Handcuffs", who deserve to be wear on same hand, even if the design does not deviate from the basic principle of real handcuffs.

I'm sure that there are many other amazing watches...
maybe you could come with some examples!

Wow, didn't think watches can be so unusual! Now I want that middle clock, guess it costs lots or there are only few of these >.<

I can't say I ever really thought about how different watches could be, but after seeing these I had to look for more : )

and I know this one isn't a watch, just a clock, but I thought it was really cool:
