Default NEVER ENDING, UNUSUAL watch thread!

Hi guys! I had an idea, i hope it has not been done yet...

I was checking out the thread(s) about the upcoming IMPERIOUS watch brand owned by Invicta, and I do not know what got into me, i googled the phrase "Imperious watches" and clicked on Images. And the first picture i saw ha the comment "An Imperious Watch" under it. I thought to myself, WOW, that's a watch I had never seen before. I want to share it with my fellow watchgeeks!

I also thought that it would be cool to have a thread where we could all post pics of watches we find unusual, cool, intriguing...

Three rules for posting;

1) YOU have never seen it before and YOU find it intriguing

2) CHECK to see if it has already been posted in this thread

3) PICS, PICS and more PICS!!!


Here goes!

This is the Milus MEREA!

Imperious-could be the new SNBC watch brand. It is owned by Invicta.

OK this can't be all that unique, it's a Zenith, but I just spent the last 5 minutes on Google Image search and this is the first exciting one

Cool thread Barta. And I'll second that the Imperious strap is made of Stingray-wife has one just like it.


Never heard of this company before, here's on of their timepieces:
urwerk ur-202 http://www.urwerk.com/



this unconventional watch uses telescoping minute hands that adjust to a linear time line on the bottom of the
watch’s face. the minute hand also has three arms which each rotate to show the hour. the hand being used
signals the correct hour, while the other two remain inactive. the watch also powers itself by using
compressed air which it makes using small wind turbines on the back of the face.

All of the URWerk stuff is impressive, and unique to say the least. Someone on here owns one (not that model).

Mehdi, how much is the C1 Quantum Gravity? I'm sure it's way out of my price range.
