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.

So much? Last watch I wore regularly, I got for the cost of a stamp and a coupon found in a cereal box. (Yes, really.)
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
