For fun: What do you think is the worst watch ever made?
I'm going to throw in my vote for this abomination: the Romain Jerome Pokemon Tourbillon
I usually don't like to hate on watches, but this is one of the select few that I would actually wish out of existence is possible. I remember Tim Mosso once talking about it. Tim's the kind of guy that can put positive light on any watch, but he was struggling to keep his composure with this one. The case is hideous, so is the enamel dial, and the tourbillon makes things so much worse by combining poor taste with extravagance. A true nightmare watch!
Don't get me wrong, as a child of the 90s I love pokemon! But they shouldn't be getting anywhere near $100K+ timepieces. And to top it all off, RJ couldn't even stick to the original 150 pokemon on the dial!
Any other candidates for "worst watch ever" that you guys can think of?
Just got my bag of popcorns, I bet this thread is gonna be interesting...:-)) Let's just hope it won't be all about Code 1159...:-)) [nt]

The 1159 isn't to my taste either, but I don't think it comes anywhere close to touching "worst watch ever made"
Some other candidates I can think of:
Richard Mille erotic tourbillon
Moritz Grossmann Trump watch
Moritz Grossmann Trump watch
Imagine if President Trump was ever caught wearing that RM erotic tourbillon
CNN would quite literally burst into flames!
The day he does (or that someone claims that he does, which is usually the same), at the cost of increasing CNN’s and MS-LSD’s viewership from 5 to 6, trust me I won’t be missing a single one of their shows!!😂😂 [nt]

As an owner of the brand, I find it very puzzling that they continue to make pieces like these! [nt]

This one is certainly the most audacious of the options here, especially with the $700K price tag! [nt]

Really?! I actually find it one of the more attractive versions of the ROO, even if I couldn't ever pull off wearing one myself. [nt]

And let's open this up to bastardized watches as well!
Example: Mayweather's iced-out casio
Confucius said the greatest torture of man is to fulfill his every desire
And in this way I feel sorry for all these multi-billionaires. Whether it’s blinging out a Casio or dropping 31 million on a Patek, it strikes me as an attempt to find the next “high”, but I imagine the feeling of euphoria is a fleeting one.

I actually liked that RJ ...
... the ones I hate are the Titanic series, too much profiting off the dead for my taste.
A brand I usually really hate is Jacob and Co. I'll single out this one (from the web obviously), not just for the absurd conspicuous consumption but also for the general layout awfulness. Best Andreas
For a second I thought it was photoshopped, but I looked it up and it's real...Very, very competitive! ;-) [nt]

Wow....just wow.....
I didn't actually think that anyone was going to be able to top the RJ when I made this post. But if you put a gun to my head, didn't allow me to choose having my brains blown out as an option, and forced me to wear one of these watches, I might actually prefer to wear the RJ over this. Seriously, WTF Jacob&Co!??!?!
I thought of another one, and it’s controversial...
....I described the WG Pepsi GMT that came out a few years back as ‘an abomination’. Maybe ‘worst watch of all time’ is hyperbolic, but I remember finding it really disappointing. It struck me as very cynical.
Oh I think the vulgar RICHARD MILLE takes the “$4it cake” here!
Undisputed champion of awfulness 👍🏻😜
