The REAL Frankenwatch...?

A joke, surely? Spotted one randomly this morning on my travels. It's the size of a mobile phone, for Pete's sake!! Make's the SDDS look like a dinky trinket.

You can also spend over $100K for one just like it. Looks like they copied the design.

What on EARTH is that?!! An instrument of torture? I've never seen anything like it - what is it (other than a bonkers watch, that is)?

Yeah, that is the weirdest watch... made in the orient somewhere. I'll have to find where I picked that pic up and post a link w/more info... definitely something suitable for Frankenstein
