Stonehenge watch
Nobody knows exactly who built Stonehenge and what for. Probably, observation of movement of the Sun was the purpose. Some scientists say, it was a both a calendar and a clock for ancient Druids.
So, with this piece you can feel like if you were a Druid or Merlin at the same time.
this amazing watch is much more puzzling from the inside.
Just find some sunny place, adjust the compass – and here you are! Very practical, though. That’s civilization for you: now one doesn’t have to carry all those stone slabs to know the exact time.
The Earth Watch
The technology used is so unique, that one can even see hours and minutes.
Seconds are not the case when you hold the whole World in your hands, or, more precisely, on your wrist.
This watch is delivered with 10-year battery, but with only half-year manufacturer’s warranty: one can only guess what is going to happen to our small planet after it expires.
Haruo Suekichi’s watches
Haruo Suekichi is a Japanese proprietor watch-maker, who makes only six or seven watches a week, but all of them are completely unique.
Each has it’s own name.
They are definitely not like leading manufacturers’ timepieces: here one idea and one design stand behind no more than one watch.
A watch for one-handed, which straps around one’s only wrist, or a watch for knowing time when one rides a bike, and many other alike masterpieces. Plenty of genius, minimum commerce.
Reminds a lot of Medieval craftsmen and, you may be sure of that, will worth a fortune in some hundred years.
Bluetooth Watch
It’s amazing how modern people are determined to hide their cellular phones so that nobody else can see them.
Bluetooth-based headsets help a lot.
But this device is a huge step forward.
It not only shows who is calling, but warns about received messages, controls media-player and makes many other useful things.
Besides that all, it is a very good-looking accessory, and…
Yeah, it shows time as well!
Bugatti Type 370 (Bugatti Veyron) watch
From the very beginning Bugatti people were planning to make these watches available solely to Bugatti Veyron owners, but later thought better of it and ordered more watches than cars: it seems like their data told them that there are more people ready to spend $300,000 on their watches than those ready to spend $1,500,000 on their cars.
In fact, the watch is very unusual. Its face looks more like a ‘cheek’ so that a driver can see the time when actually driving, without turning a wrist for that purpose.
When you ride at 252 miles per hour, it may definitely be the issue.
Moreover, although it is completely mechanical and needs wound every 10 days, its owner should not bother him- or herself with such a hard work: there is a special battery-powered device that winds the watch.
Work of art, truly!
Koenigsegg watch
Another famous supercar maker Koenigsegg also issued a limited edition of watches for owners of their four-wheel masterpieces.
However, these guys were in technology business for too long not to understand that creation of outstanding watch would take them some dozens years, so they turned to Qunting, an exclusive Swiss watchmaker, in order to make that very outstanding watch for them.
And here they are: Koenigsegg watches with transparent movement, all elements of which are made from sapphire crystals.
Only case, hands and strap are not transparent to save the Koenigsegg customers of the trouble finding their watches.
Wooden watch
Unlike the Koenigsegg-Quinting masterpiece this watch does not pretend to be invisible as it is completely – face, hand and cog – cut from the most improper material for precise mechanisms – wood.
Crafted somewhere in Eastern Europe in the early 1900’s, it still works! Amazed?
Everyone is!
Cabestan
In fact, this watch reminds of not something one wears on one’s wrist to know time, but something one installs on one’s battleship to manage anchor.
Seeing it work is mesmerizing.
Actually this watch is not a time-measurer, but a time-killer, as its owner can sit for hours just looking at the magical way the chains and cogs count the seconds. Probably that owner would do it near the fireplace at his own castle musing on the issue of what portion of that castle could he have rebuilt for the amount he spent on this wonder of mechanics, as “Cabestan” costs a small – but not the smallest – fortune. 
Seiko Spectrum
Seiko once again produced something revolutionary in terms of watchmaking.
This watch relies on the latest film technology called ‘e-ink’ to provide high-contrast image together with stylishly, fifty-years-from-now-looking device.
Probably, that is what we will see all around the shelves of watch shops in mid-2000’s.
Timeflex.
Always wondered who first thought that wearing watch on the wrist is a good idea. Why not palm? Or foot? Or sleeve? “Timeflex” designers definitely thought that man had been all wrong from the very beginning.
Thus they made think that can stick everywhere you put it and even show time while trying hard to hold on there.A feast of flexibility and non-conformism, this watch!
