obviously this is more about it being a bit of art and "different" than the movement and heritage of the actual watch

I like the look...
Very modern but I do not know if I would actually own one... Kinda like Richard Mille Really beautiful amazing pieces but if I am spending that money its a Lange or Patek possibly a VC, JLC or AP. As for this its just a concept at this time. Granted I know its not RM money if it comes out still I would pass.

I don't think a chronograph is that necessary on a watch without a single marker. I can't say it's my cup of tea but it does look special.

Wow, definitely thinking out of the box. Not too keen on the crown and buttons on the top like that.

I'm usually open to design concepts but this is just too outside the box, especially with the skyscraper dial and hands. I mean why not make a watch with a dial made of stabilized dried corn and a case made out of a scrapped John Deere in JD green and yellow? |
