Given that watch spam was second only to wang pills in polluting my inbox for years, I predict a whole lot of first post meat in a can in this thread.

As for funky design timepieces, if I had bags of spare cash (and better eyesight) I might fancy an Astrodea or Cosmosign... like wearing a planisphere on your wrist... at least until they can miniaturize a full Antikythera mechanism

Though I prefer the original, thinner one to the update.

Within a beautiful glass-and-steel case, over 1,000 celestial bodies are laid against the watch face, forming a picture of the night sky as seen from 35 degrees north. It's not just for display, though- the watch actually shows you the correct positions of the constellations as they move across the cosmos.

All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.
