That Monstrosity my friend, is the Ingersoll Bison #9
Limited edition of 3000. 31 jewels movement, 48mm across the dial not including the screw down crown. 18mm high, 170 grams on just the watch head alone, and 20 ATM water proof. 2 separate Time zones on the dial. one large second hand, power reserve indicator and date. I feel compelled to give you all that info because its so hard to find any info on it at all. I did find a german site that still has a few left. (and at a much cheaper price than I paid for it. :X) but every time I wear it someone is like, "what the hell is that thing??!" I apologize if the bracelet looks a bit chewed, it came with a leather strap and I felt a watch that big deserved a metal stainless bracelet. so that band was my first attempt with my dremel at custom fitting a ss band from another watch to be able to fit into the 18mm lugs, and then flare out to 28mm (like the leather does. ) It really is an impressive piece. I think Ingersoll did 12 different Bisons Total. you can still find most of them here and there, but the 9 seems to be the rarest. although i would love to pick up a #1 if you do research on it.
