The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I'm truly shocked to hear you say that Roff about the greatest game ever....and you being a moderator and all! What could have brought a man to make such a profound statement - too many lost balls from hacking around a golf course

I think you should definitely get that watch and go play some golf

I actually used to live on a golf course, but have never played the game. With 5 1/2 hours a day commuting there's not a lot of time left for golf, and it's never appealed to me.

That's a REALLY long commute, and I agree golf sucks.

How about a blue chip skeleton by the king of skeletons, Armin Strom? http://www.arminstrom.com/

I like Armin Strom's work, but I'm not sure that I consider it that weird. It ramps up the traditional skeleton a notch, but I'm thinking a little more 'out there'.

Wow....those are beautiful pieces......I bet they fetch a pretty penny too....but wow they are awesome looking.

Well these ones should fit the bill. The last one may be a tad more expensive than your budget but after discounts i think you can get it for $20-$21K

a devon tread 1 - its not mechanical and runs off a battery so you might not want it, but its a bit different

Hmm,

Not sure about any of the recent ones, but some of them fit the weird category.

And no, I wouldn't buy a quartz watch, though good for Devon for coming up with a US based innovative watch.

Hey Roff, here's a really wild one for ya. HM4-Thunderbolt

Probably outta the price range, but I think it fits the "Weird" category!

The HM4 Thunderbolt Watch features an aviation-inspired case and engine. It includes 50 jewels and 311 components in its engine, five sapphire crystals, and a black hand-stitched calfskin strap with a titanium and white cold clasp. The only simple thing about this watch is how it tells time; it has the traditional dual dials – one for the time, one a power indicator - but the rest is just exquisite.

The inspiration behind the timepiece comes from Maximilian Büsser’s childhood passion for assembling model plane kits. This passion was the right type of fuel to ignite the aerodynamic characteristics of the Thunderbolt’s titanium and sapphire envelope with an added futuristic touch. The striking transparent sapphire section of the case requires over 100 hours of machining and polishing to transform an opaque solid block of crystal into a complex, exquisitely curved panel allowing the light to come in and the beauty of Thunderbolt’s engine to stand out.

There will only be 20 units produced, each carrying a price tag of $158,000.

I posted about it when it was first announced earlier this year - I would love to have one, and have had the opportunity to buy an MB&F in the past. I can't justify $160,000 on a watch though.

Ahh before my time onboard here then when you posted about it...that is cool as hell, but 160k...wow. Incredible amount of time goes into one from what I read.

I just saw this and thought is was rather interesting, although I'm guessing some here already know about it. The Montblanc Metamorphosis actually changes its appearance as it transitions from a standard watch to a chronograph. The pic below shows the same watch in its two different phases. Limited to 28 pieces, it's just a tad bit spendy at 195,000 Euros (just over $255,000). Read more about it here.
