I do think the watch is interesting...
...however, I'm not particularly fond of the the blue globe. I think it stands out too much.
I would have made it chrome with engraved black lines to indicate the markings on the globe.
I think it would have matched better with the futuristic design of the watch as well as make it seem a little less gimicky.

POLL: Do you like the Hysek Colosso watch?
According to Hysek's website, the Hysek Colosso has a 3-dimensional Earth 12mm in diameter and turns itself in 24 hours and can be set at the local time or at the GMT time. Please note, you must be logged into your account to vote and view results....

Listen more closely

in the subject line: "Do you like?" in the poll "Do you find interesting?" that's very different -a
I wonder how the Colosso would handle normal wear and tear
specifically, if someone inadvertently scraped the Earth ball against a concrete wall. Would the ball pop off and roll away? The ball protudes out so much that all I see is a red bullseye smack right on the ball for some mishap to occur someday in the fut...
Not my taste
I tjoink that the 3 dimensinnal moonphase is nicer on a De Bethune, I don't like the style of this Hysek, but this is just a matter of taste... I don't even want to know the price, as I think that it 's quite high..No, for me, this is a FIRM ..NO. Best. N...
Not a moonphase
NIcholas, I think this is a day-phase or day / night indicator, as it is a GMT or Local time watch. It is also a minute repeater and maybe a business week # of the year (e.g. 38 of 52) ; I have never seen that combination before. Regards, MTF
