NOOKA Zub 38 Zenv

I first heard about Nooka watches from a blog post which said that Nooka made a limited edition glow in the dark watch for Kanye West. Yes, they are very different from your normal watch - but that’s what makes them so cool.

Casio G-Shock Mudman Watch (Red)

The Casio G-Shock Mudman watch is the closest thing to an indestructible timepiece - at least that’s what I’ve read from many user reviews. I actually already have the the dark olive version of this watch, but I would gladly exchange it for this rare red version.

Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 17 RS 2

Grand Carrera Calibre 17 RS2 - Limited Edition in Grade 2 Titanium en titane grade 2

It’s a High Tech GT speed machine ready to tear up the tarmac. Sophisticated, powerful, unmistakably virile and technical, the Grand Carrera Calibre 17 RS2 is clearly cut out for racing tracks. Streamlined to order to win the race for precision, the chassis is made from Grade 2 Titanium (Ti2), a pure metal ultra resistant and bio-compatible. The engine is on a par with the exterior: a COSC-certified chronograph movement, equipped with the famous Rotating Systems that are the hallmark of the Grand Carrera collection.

This revolutionary display mode enables intuitive reading of elapsed time, since the index remains fixed while the time indications rotate: small seconds at 3 o’clock and chronograph minute counter at 9 o’clock. From the Geneva stripes motif to the polished beveled finish of the Rotating Systems; and from the black-gold hand-applied hands, logo and hour-markers to the double sapphire crystal caseback revealing a “turbine” obviously powering this model towards the future, an impressive wealth of details further enhances the exclusive nature of this 1000 limited series.

I definitely want one.

Limited-Edition Di Grisogono Meccanica DG

The mechanically operated digital display of the second timezone shows tens of hours, single hours, tens of minutes and single minutes, all displayed by mobile microsegments driven by an assemblage of 23 cams connected to a set of gears and a triggering and synchronization system. The time information is displayed by an array of 23 horizontally and vertically positioned microsegments. Vertical segments are 9 mm high and weigh at most 25 milligrams while the horizontal segments measure 2.90 mm in length and weigh only 10 milligrams. The segments have four faces: two opposing visible faces fitted with colored strips and two opposing unmarked faces. Time changes are effected by 90° rotations of the required segment or segments. Involving one to twelve segments, time changes are lightning fast.

In summary, it’s a watch that looks like a digital watch, but is 100% mechanical. Yeah. I want one.
