This is why I love avant-garde horology so much

MB&F, De Bethune, URWERK etc. make watches that look like absolutely nothing else on the market today. If you think about it, if you are trying to design a new watch today with a round(ish) case and round sub-dials, it is near impossible to do so without drawing at least some comparison to something else. The universe of possible design templates is practically exhausted within those parameters. Yes, this project runs way too close to an AP Offshore, but its hardly the only offender.

This case looks very reminiscent of the angles on the new Tesla truck
