Cool DualTow With Video

Saw this watch on Youtube a while ago and then went to this Professional
Watches site where they also had the video, as well as alot of information
about the watch ! It is a crazy looking watch, but very cool nonetheless !
Cristophe Claret uses a patented movement in it, which involves a Planetary
Gear Chronograph and striking mechanism. You tell the time by looking at
the two belts which give the hours and minutes ! Enjoy !

Thats pretty cool, if you go full screen you're inside the movement. I think Tag Heuer has one now that is belt driven but this takes it up a few notches from there.

I can appreciate the technology that goes into this and other very innovative examples of "extreme timekeeping devices"

But the cost of maintainence and upkeep aside from the actual price makes me say


MEH


as far as these things being a "watch"


IMHO another example of brilliant designers and watchmakers with too much spare time.

Good points Foghorn your right about the whole watchmakers with too much spare time thing !
Also the price has to be astronomical !..still it's neat how they come up with these ideas and are
able to make something this oddly different ! ..I also liked that inside the movement feel
Merichar ! It was like a rollercoaster or something ! Maybe the video allows us to appreciate
this watch even more. That Tag Heuer does have a similar feel to it as well..you're right ! Thanks
guys !
