Horological Meandering

Dear all this is just a request for pics of various watches with unusual displays to show the time.....as and when I get another watch I would like to consider something unusual and so I am just interested to see what is out there. Obviously there is the ... 

Almost wanted to post a Mickey to make your day but its been done so many times....would love to see some Meistersinger, De Bethune Digitale, VC Historiques (the compass one) etc...

Cheap and cheerful plus requires some basic arithmetic to tell time. I will be interested in some of the ideas that come from this thread. All the best.

The Freak, of course... And the VC Mercator: With the Starwheel, my 3 favourite " Crazy " watches. Good luck, my friend. I wish us all the best to be able to get one of these beauties, one day! Nicolas....

While the Freak is more like a concept watch. Concept watch versus Poetry... Personally, I can't choose. I want both! Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-07-16 22:34:59

cheers Nico Yours my friend, Andy.

Try to get a first generation, its size is just perfect. Good hunt! Best, Nicolas.

Lange Zeitwerk. See, told you the list wasn't exhaustive NickO

Very very high in my wish list! My favourite version, my friend. The Opus V is yours? Another fantastic " monster ". Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-07-16 23:27:59

It's a wonderful watch to wear everyday. The Millenary case is perfect for this complication. The time display just peeks out of your shirt cuff. I do not own the Opus V, unfortunately...

Which make this watch so unique and captivating. I can understand why you've fallen in love with it. As for the Opus V, it is one of my few Grails, which will remain in this category, I fear. Best and thanks for your answer, Allen. Nicolas.

that is an impressive set of pics..!! The Zeitwerk is a stunner...what is the piece in pic 3 which has a similar display to the Zeitwerk..? That is also a great starwheel...I wonder if AP would bring it out again..! Thank you for the pics, Andy.

I'm sure AP will launch another starwheel in the future. It will be bad for my wallet for sure!

thanks very much for that...I have seen it before but had forgot what it was. Is this yours..? A modern looking Star Wheel would be nice too. Yours my friend, Andy.

It's a beauty for sure.

My MCT orange has a pretty cool way of telling the time......

I seem to have always gone for something a bit different....examples - the Speedy Pro I went for the display back, Rolex GMT I got the black bezel (but is on Pepsi now), Panerai I got the 292 ceramic instead of 210 SS, Atmos was the Transparent, and of co...

I wouldn't have got that if I was seeing somebody more than likely..!! I think you'll be too busy with the move to notice you'll be off the grid for a week...but any excuse to get a new toy. Speaking of which I've just ordered a golf sat nav to give me ex...
