Surely Jacob & Co has numerous contenders! But I've also run across a few Zenith Defy pieces that made me gag. I have a boxing enthusiast cousin who keeps yapping about Mayweather's

amazing collection. I keep trying to help him "get it" with horology. A work in progress. That blinged out G-shock demonstrates tons of cents with minimal sense.

For fun: What do you think is the worst watch ever made?

 
 By: jleno : November 10th, 2019-07:06
I'm going to throw in my vote for this abomination: the Romain Jerome Pokemon Tourbillon I usually don't like to hate on watches, but this is one of the select few that I would actually wish out of existence is possible. I remember Tim Mosso once talking ...  

The 1159 isn't to my taste either, but I don't think it comes anywhere close to touching "worst watch ever made"

Some other candidates I can think of: Richard Mille erotic tourbillon Moritz Grossmann Trump watch ...  

Imagine if President Trump was ever caught wearing that RM erotic tourbillon

And let's open this up to bastardized watches as well!

And in this way I feel sorry for all these multi-billionaires. Whether it’s blinging out a Casio or dropping 31 million on a Patek, it strikes me as an attempt to find the next “high”, but I imagine the feeling of euphoria is a fleeting one. NickO

Well put! [nt]

I actually liked that RJ ...

... the ones I hate are the Titanic series, too much profiting off the dead for my taste. A brand I usually really hate is Jacob and Co. I'll single out this one (from the web obviously), not just for the absurd conspicuous consumption but also for the ge...  

Wow....just wow.....

I didn't actually think that anyone was going to be able to top the RJ when I made this post. But if you put a gun to my head, didn't allow me to choose having my brains blown out as an option, and forced me to wear one of these watches, I might actually ... 

This is so awful

That I’m almost beginning to like it. ....almost!!

I thought of another one, and it’s controversial...

 
 By: pejp : November 10th, 2019-14:49
....I described the WG Pepsi GMT that came out a few years back as ‘an abomination’. Maybe ‘worst watch of all time’ is hyperbolic, but I remember finding it really disappointing. It struck me as very cynical.

Oh I think the vulgar RICHARD MILLE takes the “$4it cake” here!

Undisputed champion of awfulness 👍🏻😜

RM has some other honorable mentions

Like the adventure tourbillon: ...  

oh yes - I totally forgot about that MONSTROSITY!

that is indeed a train-wreck

LOL!!!

Some very subtle pieces there!

For me, the Pokemon watch was nice... I liked it when I wore it.

 
 By: foversta : November 11th, 2019-13:17
To be frank, I'm not fan of this type of topic. The "worst" watch could be the watch somebody likes. It is just a matter of taste. Or we can talk about engineering failures, design mistakes (for example a non legible scale) or some other objective downsid... 

Hysterical Post...

 
 By: elliot55 : November 21st, 2019-20:52
... And you are 100% correct. But the lighting bolt bridge for the tourbillon is kinda' cool.

Surprisingly, a lot of people are speaking out in favor of the RJ!

 
 By: jleno : November 21st, 2019-21:24
But I think we can all agree that the "iced-out-to-the-max" Jacob & Co. Snickers watch that donizetti posted wins this thread
