"Excuse me, can you tell me the borg, please?"
 

Weired watches, made by Urwerk (without "h", which turns the meaning of the word - originally meaning 'clockwork' - into 'ancient manufactury' or also 'ancient piece of work')

Very interesting page Sky, :yep:

I want one :o

The founder and chief-watchmaker of that manufactury was just 22 years old when founding it in 1997!

German article, with more pics of watches.

Strong worked with probably great skill, :sunny:

How much diplomas do you need to have to know what time it is with that stuff around your wrist ?

"We are the Borg. At the third stroke the time sponsored by species 8472 will be twenty nineteen and thirty four seconds. Resistance is Futile."

Sure looks like a temporal anomaly emanating from a Borg Cube. ;)

@ Oberon : :D

I'd be curious to know how long a battery would last in one of those gizmos with all that movement.

No batteries, I read.

Wow! :o Wind up or self winding?

Don't know, but the prices are in the four - and I seem to recall: also five - digit range.

The guy said that when he had finished learning the art of making watches, he was bored with the Swiss conventional designs, and so he started with what he is designing now. He was 22 years then.

I don't like.
It's too flashy and "stylish" but looks like nice gadget.
Besides don't wear watches since invention of cellphone clock.

I knew this ones:

German article says it cost 750,000 Swiss Franken: ~854,000 $US.

They produce 5 of these per year.

Weird chosen name for the watch...:06::hmmm:

I'd be too scared to wear it, IWC does make some nice watches though!:up:
