Do Wristwatches Get Any Better than a Cuckoo Clock?:
There are few better ways of asserting your independent spirit as a hardware hacker than by creating your own special timepiece. Even more so if the timepiece is a watch, particularly in this era of smartwatches. Few home-made timepieces though have come as near to wristwatch Nirvana as the cuckoo clock wristwatch from [Kiyotaka Akasaka], which we would venture to name as having won wristwatches. Nobody will top this one in the field of home-made clocks!
There is a short (35 second) video of it on YouTube.
What's the most unusual timepiece you've ever seen? Worn? Do you have a favorite?
My favorite is a Seiko Titanium Grand Sport that I bought about 15 years ago. It's not that unusual, but it is amazingly light-weight. It's a little small at 38mm but that size is fine for me.

Defunitely not a supercomputer 40 years ago, but the battery lasts for 10 years. Only problem is the bands keep breaking or popping off the face.
iWatch bands are awesome, wish I could use them with the Timex.

iWatch bands probably cost more than your Timex.

Yes, but I need a band to wear it at all.

You're lucky. No one is going to hold you up for your Timex.
