Watch out : URWERK-UR202 has an innovative winding system
The URWERK- UR-202 is the most incredible creation I have ever come across. It is the world’s first wristwatch to feature an innovative new winding system which utilizes miniature turbines to compress air to regulate the self-winding mechanism of the movement. A switch on the back of the watch, lets you adjust the air pressure, passing through the turbines. The watch has AlTiN coating which protects it form shocks, oxidation and scratches. The timepiece tells time by using the telescopic minute hands, operating through the middle of three orbiting and revolving hour satellites. The watch looks truly innovative, with a slightly complicated dial.No pricing info is available as yet. Via: Urwerk

Rotating Earth Watch
Here is something very different from customary timepieces. I’m talking about new earth watch that uses tiny globe to tell the time instead of conventional hour and minute hands. The new Earth Watch WN-1 introduced by the Think The Earth group and Seiko is one of the most exciting and unique watch designs. The watch with a small rotating Earth makes a full rotation once every 24 hours. A tiny indicator on the edge of the globe tells you what hour it is, and a little dot rotating around the globe indicates minutes. WN-1 Earth Watch’s case is made from a titanium body with a tough Hardlex crystal dome to protect the earth’s delicate ecosystem. The bezel is 45 mm in diameter and the movement is Quartz with a custom set of 3 reducing gears in the drive train and is powered by a 10 year Lithium battery. The watch utilizes black band made from Sophista, a sports type synthetic fabric that wick the sweat away from your wrist and is water resistant up to 100m. The ‘Think The Earth’ WN-1 Earth Watch is on sale on Amazon.com for $594. Source
Bertrand planes Life Clock: Strictly Personal!
Usually time pieces are too common and to be talked about, but some are good enough to catch your attention for their unique design and features. Bertrand planes’ Life Clock looks like any other simple wall clock but rather than showing seconds, minutes and hours, it shows years, months and days. No, it’s not a clock that just displays a date, but its calibration is done such that it can show age of a given person. The clock’s dial is initially divided into ‘twelve’ equal parts which are marked as multiples of ‘seven’, starting from ‘zero’. These major markings represent years and each minor marking on the circular scale represent 6 days (approx.). This clock uses a normal clock machine which has been slowed down 61320 times. To look at a clock that shows how old you are can surely be depressing for many people but then this seems to be a collector’s item from Antoine de Galbert’s vault. Via: swissmiss

EleeNo LITE Radar Watch: A must-have for gizmo freaks
Give it a glance and it will remind you of some gadget right from the James Bond movies, but a closer look will tell you it is a normal wrist watch, albeit a very different one. The EleeNo LITE Radar Watch does exactly what you would expect from a normal watch, but in a different way. The hour and minute hands are indicated in a ring-like pattern set on a spiral background, giving impression of a radar dial. Barring this unique detail, the LCD watch is a perfectly normal wrist watch. The waterproof watch features a stainless steel case and a stainless steel back cover. It comes with a one year guarantee and an instruction manual (probably for explaining the difficult procedure of reading time on this high-tech device).

Remi watches by Storm: A geek’s delight
I am a believer of the significance of chronology of time and so I believe in timeless timepieces. As far as watches are concerned, I am nuts for them. I love exhibiting my wristwatches whenever I can. You may dwell on the conclusion that I am crazy and I admit that but only n case of wristwatches. I have an avid collection of them and I never let a chance pass of buying another one. After all, TIME IS MONEY! Being a techie by nature, my hunt for complicated, tech and geeky wristwatches is always on and here is my latest find. The Remi watches by Storm, London took me by a storm seriously. They are so cool and geek. They are quite extraordinary as the hours and minutes are displayed on two adjacent rotating discs. The discs seem invisible under the colored glass. The most stylish is the display of seconds, which appear in the form of a rotating color pattern, just in the middle of the watch. The watch is made of stainless steel and the glass face is scratch resistant, thus making the piece once again timeless. I liked the brand written on the band. Another important point is that the piece is available in a lot many colors. However, please note that the astonishing creation is for men only and thus, you can stick with these only if you wanna gift them to your boyfriends or father. Even I am planning to do the same. Be stylish! Source: Technabob
