"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')

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

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

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.
