Strangest watches you've ever seen?
I'll go first!
This is the Artya Arachnophobia. It has a dead Wolf Spider molded onto the dial and the casing is struck by lightening bolts to give it a unique finish. Crazy right?

That's pretty fucked up right there.
Proof that just because something is "creative" doesn't mean it's "good".
I was about to create a similar post soliciting suggestions for affordable watches that don't look like watches, in the traditional sense. I can think of a handful of expensive brands (e.g., Devon, Ressence), but I can't think of anything <$1000.
This So Labs has an unusual handset, but still has the overall form factor of a traditional watch.
Any thoughts?

Thats what I thought 😂
Jesus! Where did that thing come from 😂

Think that's a looker to be fair! There's plenty of weird and wonderful watches on Aliexpress
I nearly bought a Romaine Jerome Titanic DNA a few years back. Straddling between unique and exploitative, I will admit the main reason I didn’t pull the trigger is that I didn’t want to pay what the seller wanted. I don’t think I would buy one now given the chance.
I also talked myself out of a JS Watch Company Sif N.A.R.T. Volcano Edition as well on my last trip to Reykjavik, but I don’t think I would do that the next time I’m over there.
I‘m not entirely sure I would be comfortable wearing a watch with a dead animal smashed into it. I can only imagine the design meeting for that one:
”I’ve got this spider I want to ram into the dial“
”Why Richard? And then what are you going to do?”
”I was thinking of climbing on the roof in the middle of a storm and hooking it up to the aerial. That would be cool!”
”I suppose so… or you’d win a Darwin Award. I‘ll have an office sweepstakes, the Euros were cancelled this year, so this would suffice as a substitute. I’ll have you 5-1 on as a dead man. If you die we‘ll put your ashes into an OP homage watch - you’d like that.”

Mr. Jones has a ton of very unusual watches all for sub $350, quartz. But very fun.
Cartier crash is quirky enough. Speaking of which, anyone knows a homage to it that does not cost thousands of dollars?(ie softwatch)
