Random Watch Thread #3

41 complications, too many to list, although it would be fun to list them in decreasing order of silliness (like declination of the sun). As they say, "in a rermarkably compact 45mm case." I suppose actually fair given how complicated it is. More details here if anyone is interested:

Price? Who knows? Who cares?

It would take me a week to be sure I’d set it correctly, and then I wouldn’t be able to read it.

The engineering of such watches is a marvel, but I’m guessing that they’re more collected than worn and spend their lives in a safe.

The Weltzeit is glorious.

I had one of these when Toppers did the Burlingame edition. In my mind this is the only world timer that actually works and makes sense. I've had about four others and I never could understand what they were telling me. Using airports makes sense (For the Burlingame LAX was replaced with Burlingame which is technically where SFO is located). Moving around to other cities with the push button made the time adjust to that city. The home icon showed the time back home.

I kinda like the Land Dweller myself but no date would be better. I'm sure different dial colors will be coming in the next few years.

I just learned that the movement is a high-beat (5 HZ) version of the 1908 movement.

Some of the elements of this make it look like a Graham to me. It also is a bit Ernst Benz like. Neither of these are good things.

If you have to ask...This would make my head explode. Curious to know what the trigger above the lower right lug is for, but not curious enough to look at the content on the link. Seems like an exercise for all the complication you never asked for. If I have to go look up what something is, I'm certain I don't need it.

I don't feel like looking, either, but I bet it's for the chimes (it's a minute repeater among other things).

Jesus what happened yesterday?! And why release watches on April fools? Confusing.

This is nice
