That last watch I find even more wonderful that the one in this post. Just amazing workmanship.

Apparently these are swiss “sector watches” (early 1900s) or perhaps “retrograde dial” (more 1970’s) watches. What I found in google ranged from 800UK to 5000US. Most were special lots, none apparently in current circulation.

*wipes drool off keyboard*

That is quite possibly the loveliest watch I’ve ever seen. It’s even better than my binary watch!

I would very much like a watch like. Even if this one went for a bundle of money, surely this isn’t the only “valve-like” watch ever made…

How long is too long to stare at a picture? I can’t take my eyes off it!

BTW, it looks like it sold for $3750–which actually doesn’t seem *that* bad for a one-of-a-kind piece like this. Oh, to be wealthy!
