I am in support for these types of watches because I personally believe that watches, especially mechanical watches, have moved away from a functional piece of equipment to more of an art form/artistic form of expression for artist or watchmakers. This is, I think, the way the watch industry is moving forward and how it is still remaining prevalent. As such, inline with this thought, I really like how this artist creates a new form of expression in watchmaking but I do not exactly like it.

I personally have always favored a slight twist/combination of old and new styles, like De Bethune, but have generally shied away from very avant garde watches like modern Roger Dubuis, Urwerks, Audemars Piguet (royal oak) etc.. Now for the disclaimer this is all just my personal opinion and it is ........

so with that said, this watch (to my eyes) can be summed up in a single word⌠junk! Why do I say that, and without any reservation whatsoever? The price is an utter joke. The movement used and finishing is so far removed from the price being demanded that...
