I love this watch!

http://www.swisstime.ch/pgs/rwi-pgs-pro ... 1271.html#

OK, so it's an ETA based watch, and it's a pretty expensive ETA based watch too - around 10,000 USD - but I absolutely love it! Kind of like a Flying B in lots of ways (so no doubt lots of you will hate it!), but I think it's incredibly unique with it's jumping hour, retrograde minutes AND retrograde seconds. They sell De Grisogono in Marcus on London's New Bond St (one of the most exclusive watch sellers in the world), and they are really something.

Very striking. Somehow makes me think "Urwerk", but without the turbines and rotors and all. Good size too.

I have a lot of time for De Grisogono, though I don't think I'll ever have the money for one - nice look, lousy value (to my mind).
