I have to confess I have semi-seriously been considering a Baron Samedi Bubble :oops:

And there lies the problem with them - both of us like them (or perhaps a couple of the models), but we both clearly feel a little embarrassed about admitting it! :lol:

When you see the man behind the Corum Bubble, Severin Wunderman, its no wonder they look like they do, and Severin and his Bubble basically revived the Corum brand, I just don't get it. I've never seen one that appeals to me.

I'm sure that on many threads like this, the Ploprof would also be pictured... but I think it is beautiful, so there you go, there is a place for all the watches in this world.

He kind of reminded me looks-wise of a much older Michael Stipe.

Just to clarify, I didn't intend to imply that Severin was ugly, quite the opposite, he was a very charsmatic and unique individual with some very influential and famous friends. I read a great article about him in Watchtime a while back. I think I read that he passed away this past year... R.I.P.

ohhhh that last one!

But as a mechanical man this is just so wrong.

The band and case are made from high grade polished stainless steel, (what a waste of good steel) with hours on one side, 10s of minutes and then individual leds for minutes in between. So its showing 7.30 something at present. Its a Storm Mk 2, I only hope the Mk 3 is better!

:lingsrock:


I might be somewhat ashamed of this but I own a watch like this. :oops: It's the exact model pictured below. I think the taxes to import from Japan cost more than the watch. I purchased it about 5 years ago because it was unlike any watch I'd ever seen. I still do like it but rarely wear it. It's huge and takes the same batteries as my bathroom scale!

I submit it as an "ugly" watch only because I know that by most people's standards it would be deemed as such.

May be stepping on some toes here but this one gets my vote. I can't imagine proudly strapping that on my wrist in the 70's and heading on down to the disco.

And neither was I. As my forum-name would suggest to those of you who know your REM songs, I'm a huge REM fan, and I'd noticed in the past that the late Severin Wunderman bore more than a passing resemblance to the legendary REM frontman - just an observation ; no more than that.
