I Do have a fondness for really "Pointless" 60s & 70s watches Some have style like the Jager Pierre Cardin watches of the 60s but some are just really daft... Had the pleasure of selling the Continental Tecnic Line a couple of years ago and wish i didnt.. 3 seconds hands (kinda) but for what bloody purpose! then there are watches like the HUDSON instalight ? Block of a watch but weird enough to be unique! Anyone else collect "weird" watches High end or low budget who cares lets see some propperly dodgy watches please! I dont think a "chronostop" is far from being included yea they are damn cool but a chronograph that only counts 60 seconds and doesn't STOP & HOLD?
I have nothing that matches your Hudson. But I have a few that would qualfy for uniqueness, by today's standards. I made the aboveone to actually run backwards, and had a dial made to go with it. Typical of an era of open necked Hawaiian print shirts, unbuttoned half way down, platorm shoes, liesure suits, and gaudy jewellery. For MEN! LED. Screen oriented so you could read it without difficulty, in strong light. Every collection should have some LEDs. A short lived flash in the pan. And why not a Mamilton Ventura Electric! If ever there was an "orphan" watch!
I wish I had one of these: By way of slight digression, this space-themed butter sculpture is also pretty neat:
Oy! its good enough for 007 agents! and Jack Nicholson! By slight degression the looks you'll get . "never mind the get up a flip top watch... too far....":
I had a talking watch when i was 10, I remember this verty fondly tho my "voice" was clearly asian "its twewve past twewve aohoc pm" and cowboy time was good its "tenteten ohoc am"
