Watchmaking can be a little unadventurous at times, a little safe. Outside the realms of companies like MB&F and Urwerk, it's not often that a watch brand takes a risk with something unusual. Every now and then, however, something unexpected happens. Whether the accountant was off sick or simply wasn't paying attention, sometimes a designer gets something through the system that's a bit more interesting. Here are five examples.
Featured Watches:
Bell & Ross BR01-92 Horizon
Cartier Tank Basculante W1011358
Vacheron Constantin Complications Classique Saltarello Jump Hour 43040/000P-19
Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Snoopy Award 3578.51.00
Hublot Big Bang Dark Jeans 301.CI.2770.NR.JEANS

Watchfinder & Co. As an aviation and space buff, I love all of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches. Especially the 45th anniversary edition of Apollo 13, also featuring Snoopy and with those 14 seconds of Lunar Module descent engine burn marked on the dial, with the words "What could you do in 14 seconds?" Very classy! I'd do almost anything (legal) to own one of those.

I'd kill for that Silver Snoopy Speedy! My grandad received a Silver Snoopy award in the 80's for his work on the Space Shuttle. I still have the certificate, unfortunately the lapel pin has been lost. I had never heard the story about the pins the recipients receive being flown, great little bit of history there. And I can't wait to see what Omega comes up with for the Apollo 11 50th anniversary, it's coming up fast. Thanks for producing such great vids!

I have always held that, each day you learn something new, it's a good day. Each time I watch your channel, I learn something new. In addition to this one, I also suscribe to a few other watch chanels and enjoy them all. Yours is the one that will often go that little further in depth or a side step into interesting, related information though. The other area where you are, head and shoulders, above the rest is the quality of the photography. It really is outstanding. In so many ways, you set the gold standard for a watch chanel. I hope I will be watching this for many years to come. Well done.

@christophstadler9648 5 лет назад

Excellent presentation, really liked the story to the Snoopy Speedmaster. May I suggest another unusual watch, the Lemania Elvström Caliber 1345. It is a beautiful time piece which is offering a visual countdown to time the start of a sailing race while the bezel works together with markers on the dial and the compass readings on the boat to determine the favoured end of the starting line and shows the course to be expected to the next mark in an Olympic triangle course. Brilliant design utilising the knowledge of Danish sailing legend Paul Elvström.
