Hey JJ, check out these gas meters! :o)

You think the Harry Winston Opus 5 looks like a gas meter? Get a load of these Azimuths. They look like somebody bred gas meters with parking meters! The last pic of the Roboto is especially "interesting".

I think "interesting" sums it up nicely, Al. It's a term my mother uses when wants to politely indicate she doesn't like something.

I might like them better if they were desk models. I sure as hell wouldn't strap on to my wrist.

I will say that I'm pretty impressed with the trend toward displayng time in a non-traditional sense while staying mechanical. These are interesting, but for the money, there are others (Urwerk) I'd opt for in a second.

Those monstrosities insult my gas meter, Al.

Surely, there can't be idiots out there who actually buy that stuff?
