OK, look at your own risk!

I had to have this one just for the weirdness factor. Frankly, you can say it's fugly, but it's also damn interesting; just the thing to complete my Star Trek costume (kidding).

Actually, it looks pretty good on the wrist...not as big and ungainly as you might think. Supposedly, this was a commission by Zeno from the "Famous" Swiss sculptor/artist, Tinguely. He even has his own museum in Switzerland, so he must be good, right? He's been dead since '02 or something, and the watch is actually several years out of Zeno's catalogue.

My PC colleagues have all said, "Cool," so we'll see what other comments this thing elicits (nausea?). So, flame away, but at least it's not as ugly as that Invicta diver they had on Sunday nite.

That is great! I've seen it before, but, I've never been able to find one. Where did you get it and do they have anymore?

I searched under "Zeno Tinguely watch" in eBay and that finally got me some hits. Here is the seller's current link; he has two for sale and has more. I actually got the model with the leather strap, because they usually go for cheaper. But he sells the metal band for $20. Frankly, the leather strap sucks. I paid right around $70 for mine, plus $20 for the band, plus $15 for shipping from Germany. The service was prompt and timely and it arrived in just 7 days. Good luck and let me know if you end up with one.

What a let down. I was hot to buy it, but, itsa quartz. I have nothing against quartz, I just don't buy them. It is a very cool watch, though and resonably priced and itsa Zeno.
