Saw this new watch today and thought it was really different. It's from, a new company named Vangarde, and it has a really unique look, and way of telling time. If you look at the hands they not only have a different kind of shape to them, but are also mounted off-center which makes them move in various angles to tell the time. On top of that, they are made from aluminum, magnesium, and silicon with Superluminova inserts. The rest of the watch is pretty amazing as well with the Caliber V1 movement (a specially modified 7750) inside of the 42mm stainless steel case. Along with the skeletonized, and blackened movement are a decorated crown, and pushers, sapphire front, and back crystals, along with a Louisiana alligator strap, plus much more. You can learn more from Professional Watches where this info came from. Also have a video here from the site that shows the watch in action if you want to check it out...

Pretty neat right Gary ?! Kind of looks like a classic skeletonized watch at first, but then you see that movement, along with how the hands move like that.

Definitely have to agree Ron ! It has a traditional, along with modern feel, or theme about it. Always is fun seeing things like this, and what ideas watchmakers can come up with.
