I think it’s pretty cool. The yellow strap has to go.
Funny you say that, in another blog type thing they had this watch on a more normal colored leather strap. The article also mentions the artist he used for inspiration on the “design” but yea i think it’s a poor color strap to take a “fashion shot” of the watch as the other bands were much better. I can perfectly understand someone saying “it makes me want to vomit” or some such comment I just find it so bold and striking I really like it.

I would rock that watch, but I wouldn't pay much for it.

Not my cupa tea but it looks far from cheap and has a great coherence to it. With a decent movement I’d assume it’s just over 1k usd.

for the more artist inclined it’s amazing, My style is more updated classics.

Gaudi-influenced? I can appreciate it, but it’s not for me.

I think it’s fugly. But, I’m going to embrace my inner bias and say I’d find that watch fun if a female architect was wearing it. In reality of course, it’s a fun watch for whoever enjoys it.

I truly don’t understand any of the Corum watches, especially at their price point.

I gotta admit I find this pretty cool. Again a watch I know little about and I have never seen one in person but I tend to like unique (to say the least) things. This may be pushing the envelope and the numbers made I don’t think it would be an easy catch but kinda cool https://www.alexander-shorokhoff-shop.de/en/boutique/crazy-eyes-2/

I love it and that strap is a must too, I presume its either Ray skin or imitation of the same.

Not my thing. If someone else likes it, more power to them.

I pass on any watch that makes it hard to tell what time it is.

This is very East (former) Berlin. Vibrant, alive, fun.

Very nicely balanced, clean colors, nothing muddy or out of place.

The case is nice too. Looks well machined. The pushers are large but seem to perfectly match the crown, which is also large. Often times when the crown is large it looks out of place, like a blob that was stuck on without thought.

This is not a plaything that is meant to shock. Based on the case finish and the applied 60 and rest of the dial, without knowing anything else about the watch, I expect it to have a nicely finished movement.

I don't care for the second watch as much. Reminds me of the plastic recycled Oris dial.

That first watch, i would bet would be a favorite of non-watch people, more so than a typical diver or chronograph.

Next is for me to research it some more. I hope it stands up to more research because I like it. I bet Pete Conrad would have worn it on the moon If he had had the chance.
