I am currently becoming fascinated with unusual watches - companies that are taking the traditional concept of what a watch should be and tweaking it somewhat. There are the really 'out there' ones - the Romain Jerome Cabestan springs to mind, but they are typically out of the range of most people and are not necessarily practical.

I stumbled across Carlo Ferrara the other day, don't know much about them but their prices are reasonable - the one I linked to below retails for around $8,000 list, and the piece is still practical. There are a number of different styles, but they all have the dual racetrack concept. What do you guys think?

Certainly interesting, but not for me. A little too dressy for my liking.

This is the 'Classic' so designed to be dressy - they have a 'Sport' and 'Jockey' range as well.

This is the Jockey, a little less dressy, but I know what you mean.

Never come across them before. They look like interesting pieces - how big are they?

Usually when you guys start venturing into "unusual" pieces, you lose me. Not here those are cool looking!! Down my list, but on there! 8)

Interesting, can see why someone would like them, but way too many better options on my list.

I like it also, but not that much. Too dressy for me.

Hmmmmm, that's still a bit too dressy for me as well. Not one for my never-ending list. (Hurrah! :wink: )

In true dressy style, they are fairly small - around 40mm.
