◇ UNIQUE ◇
Which watch from your collection you'd say is the most unique? (at least in your eyes)
For me is my Oris Art Blakey. For starters this model is a 1000 pieces limited edition, but thats not reason why is unique for me, but for the design. A very clean dial with what I think Oris does best: To subtlety commemorate something, in this case one of my top 3 drummers.
I've been a drummer for most of my life, so when I saw this model coming up it was a no brainer. Sadly, my dog (named Travis after another of my top drummers) had passed maybe a week before I discovered this specific model. So I got the watch also to commemorate his life.

Citizen Tsuyosa in Rose Gold is probably my most unique watch.

Love that dial
Unfortunately none of my watches are unique.
We need @JaeBust or @ChronoGuy here
My Jenny Caribbean 300 50 Aniversary Reedition
Did not arrive yet but it will be hard to beat as a most unique watch in my collection.
I really like watches that are somewhat out of the ordinary, and have some in my collection.
Bradley eOne - designed for the visually impaired, allowing time to be "read" by feel via ball bearings on the dial and side of the watch
"Slow" 1 hander using 24 hour format for displaying the time.
Humism Dasein - uses 3 rotating discs for hours, minutes and seconds, resulting in mesmerizing displays
Vintage JLC "mystery dial" with "floating" hands.
Phantasos Triclops - uses wandering hours display to tell time
Rolex Cellini Prince - until the 2023 release of the 1908 and selected Daytona models, the only Rolex that I'm aware of with a display caseback

You blew my mind.
My Brew is fairly unique, certainly interesting, and by far gets the most compliments of my collection.

Ocean Crawler Fordite. Truly one of a kind
I’ve yet to see any of these anywhere else, so figure these are my most unique:
30s Junghans:
40s Vacheron:
60s Zenith:
00s Gant:
This one runs anti-clockwise 😄
Nodus x AWWC Sector Deep. Only 51 ever made.
Great Microbrand, and great Organization.
Affordable Pelagos/Sinn-ish.
Unique is used in an interesting way in this thread...
A "piece unique" would be truly one of a kind as the definition of unique implies that there is only one.
"Most Unusual" watch would be more appropriate for what has been posted...though my guess is that some members of this community truly have a "piece unique".
I have yet to order a piece unique from any of the major brands.
I do have some fun customized pieces made by Jerome @Ichibunz ...
And the handmade dials by @Cormac for his 47zero watches are unique by the nature of each being slightly different...
Like Robert @robertsamble, I'm also a fan of the Oris Jazz Heritage series of watches...I have the Chet Baker, John Coltrane and Frank Sinatra references...
And I have a number of highly unusual...possibly unique...vintage watches.
One of my all-time favorites is this 1940s Minerva chronograph with Art Deco numerals on the dial...something I have never seen on the internet, in books or any auction references...plus it has a Pulsation scale which makes it a "Doctor's Watch" which is another cool and unusual feature...
The zenith Pacific Surf
And the Tag Heuer Carrera Full Carbon with a Skeleton Dial
Arcanaut Fordite, one of a kind dial.
Colorful!
It’s this ludicrous thing 😆
