Crazy Watches Roll Call.
When we think Crazy Watches, we have some mad creations from Independents, in our mind...
Such as:
Max Busser and Friends:
Urwerk:
De Bethune:
But not only! Even the generalists made or still make some horological UFOs.
Ulysse Nardin is the first I am thinking of, with the Freak and the Innovision:
Innovision 2007:
Innovision 2017:
Girard Perregaux, with the Laureato Tourbillon with Spinnel Bridges;
Vacheron Constantin, with the Sputnik:
And Jaeger Lecoultre, with the Extreme Lab:
Blancpain:
This is not a modern phenomenon, though, as we also had, in the Past, some surprising watches, such as:
These Audemars Piguet:
Favre Leuba: ( Credit picture: Unknown ).
Omega:
Rolex:
Yes, it seems that there always was some place for madness in watchmakers' head.
That would make a nice theme, for a collection!
Now it is your turn to share some dreams, watches, or part of your collection.
Best,
Nicolas

Seems an appropriate thread to introduce the new boy......
This little guy arrived yesterday. Not the craziest piece I own, but it was love at first sight...…. NickO ...
Thats indeed a Dream watch from DB .
Huge Congrats with this stunning Watch . Wear it in best of health and thanks for sharing (please post a few more pics when you can 🙏🏻)
Love it!
Crazy in so much that it is perfectly designed for people who find 57mm wears just a tad bit small 😀
My crazy watch....AS -;)
I think this might qualify, from the mind of another crazy Frenchman, the brilliant Alain Silberstein! Not mine, but seen in Basel this year. Stefan Kudoke's Kudoktopus madel. I'm not a big fan of skeleton watches, however this one is pretty cool! Cheers,...

On the face of it, this one doesn't look too crazy. Someone else on this forum posted a compelling photo of one many years ago that piqued my interest. I searched eBay and found one for a few hundred bucks and instantly pulled the trigger. Once I got it d...
Not super crazy...
...but enough to make me Freak Out and dash into the AD I walked passed in Prague this week in order to try it on... ...
My problem is -
There are too many on the “short” list, and not enough funds to do it all
I was happy with the size on my wrist.
Big, but in this style it was acceptable. Amazingly light! Almost felt like I wasn’t wearing a watch at all! All the best, Niall
i love my crazy watches my friend
Maybe my collection is a mirror of my personality 🤪
That Vacheron Constantine...
... Sputnik looks a lot like an Urwerk. Also reminds me of an AP Star Wheel.
Well, Over There In France...
... The Vlad is up late. Come 11:35 my time, I'm down for the count. Because you are "The Count", you'll be up way past my bedtime.
I’ll play.
My pictures, and my wrist. But not all my watches!!! The only MB&F that fits my small wrist. Some Celtic watchmaking; Fiona Kruger. The beloved Star Wheel. I looked at so many of these in the last the several years, never pulled the trigger. LF x Urwerk. ...
Of course.
I think it is as simple as liking the idea / concept of the watch (and it being what I thought was good value) but not finding the style something appealing enough. Of course the recent PT version with the reddish copper guilloche that Phillips sold IS so...
So much fun.
This post has inspired me to only look at the more unusual stuff on the next few AD/watch store visits. I’ll make sure to take photos!
