 As a reformed audiophile, looking at all the esoteric watch designs (love the Cabestan chain drive and the Uhrwerk watches) reminds me of the exotic stereo components that I used to drool over.  Western Electric 300B class A tube amps, tube CD players, electrostatic speakers and plasma tweeters, Futterman transformerless output power amps, purple heart wooden moving coil phono cartridges etc. etc.
Very cool and extremely expensive :D

If I ever won the lottery, I would have watches like that and the stereo components too.  Single ended tube monoblocks, Lowther single driver horns or maybe a pair of Klipschorns, VPI table/SME arm/Koetsu moving coil cartridge for my LP collection...oh yeah, I can't forget the Zippos... a 1933, Disney, RCA, '69 Moon landing, Kennecott solid Copper, metalliques...LOL

Cheers,
