Here are some complicated designs of watches, which will surely make you insane when you try to read time in them.

Android’s Alien watches making waves

Android has made alien watches their signature style and there is no doubt about that. The Alien is the most celebrated and wanted watch of designer Wing Liangs. Its appeal lies in its futuristic styling and sci-fi design. If you’re trying hard, wondering where you’ve seen the watch before, so, I am pleased to tell you that it was worn by Christian Bale in the film Equilibrium back in 2002. This bug like watch is available at a moderate price of £71. The Alien has two independent quartz movements which allow two time zones to be displayed. Does that make it perfect for travel too? I think…yes! It comes with an easily adjustable stainless steel bracelet with security catch. The colors available are blue or black.

New Seiko Prospex 6R15 Divers

I think Seiko needs no introduction. This Japanese watch company is a leader in timekeeping accuracy. Seiko products are often used as the official timekeepers of the major sporting events including the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup. And for many years now, Seiko has been selling a line of mechanical dive watches based on the 7S26 automatic movement. And for April 2007, Seiko is introducing three new divers based on the 6R15 movement which is more accurate, and has a hacking adjustment and is hand-windable. With stainless steel cases these new divers comes in three colors i.e. black (SBDC001), blue (SBDC003) and you’ll surely love orange (SBDC005). These watches are bit costly, it will cost you $428 (63, 000yen). And it’s a nice BIG one too, at 45mm without the crown. You can also pre-order all three watches from Seiya.

Concept Turned Reality – Vulcania by HD3 Complication

If you are a fan of good watches then you’ll definitely like this amazing Vulcania watch from HD3. This cool watch is designed by Fabrice Gonet for the three year old brand HD3 Complication. Vulcania is the second timepiece designed by Gonet. This special watch’s case is made of titanium and platinum and the front rear panel is made of sapphire, separating each gauge as a tribute to vintage naval technology. The watch works in a deeply set 3D display. All the watch functions can be seen through its front and rear sapphire glass panels, side-viewing porthole, and the back plate has an etched map with its coordinates engraved on it. The Vulcania name derives from the Jules Verne Steampunk hero, Captain Nemo and the island which was his home port. This outstanding watch is reminiscent of the novelist’s imaginary watches, but the former concept now turns into a real device. This is a limited model, because only 11 timepieces were produced. So, the lucky few would be able to get the one.
