  • Despite being centuries old, watchmaking still has the capability to surprise even today.

This many-worlds approach to watchmaking has yielded some of the strangest and most interesting concepts ever-and here are five of the best. This is: 5 Insane Watches You Won't Believe Exist.

      For some reason this reminds me of the steam age, and how steam turbine driven screws were adopted to power ships. That's how cavitation was discovered. A physical phenomenon that arose as a real problem as new technology enabled such power and speeds that were inconceivable before. Study of cavitation also saw a very early use of photography as a scientific instrument. Just thought it'd be an interesting fact somebody might enjoy reading.

Seeing it again, still makes me plunk down to watch it again in amazement. But… that said, that last Gem is one “beyond time and space” time keeper. What an attribute again to man’s ingenuity and attention to design. All stunners and made of Unobtainium,….but we can dream.

    What a collection shared today, and it's only Jan 2nd! These must be some of the most incredible works of functional mechanical art that I can remember seeing in a space of just 12 minutes. If I could add one more that I guess is impossible to get it would be the JLC Reverso Hybris, only 10 made and only £1,000,000 each, slightly more than I could fit in my sofa let alone find it behind it. I'm about as likely to find tennis ball size diamonds growing in my toilet cistern than getting one. Happy new year Talking Hands.

The last thing I need is to listen to another person doddle on about Rolex and who is wearing what reference number. I fell in love with mechanical time keeping because of the intricacies and innovations, not status or reactions. Thank you for providing a worthwhile experience and for being the vehicle used to open my eyes to something else worth my wonder.

    Out of the 5 watches shown, I would go for the ALS Triple Split. The Piaget Antiplano would be great for collection but I would be concerned about wearing it for fear of wrecking it considering how slim it is. Prefer the UN Freak Vision over the original Freak. Yes, the original Freak has historical value but I much prefer the advancement made in its current iteration, the Freak Vision. Would much prefer the no-bling transparent dial of the Breguet 5345 over the blingy Breguet 5349 - they both use the same calibre. The 5345's transparent dial puts the attention on the calibre without any bling to distract.

    Otherwise an excellent production, as ever!
