Meow! The Charriol Kucha watch is designed for women with a love of feline style. The word Kucha is Swahili for claws and it has diamond set claws curving over the stainless steel case. The watch has four dial variations with matching straps: panther, tiger, white or pink mother of pearl. It sells for $1.340 and was chosen as the ladies watch of the year for 2005 by Swiss watch magazines Montres Passion and Uhren Welt. I wonder what watches it beat out since this particular style isn't quite working for me.
The DBS watch from Swiss company De Bethune is probably the most elegant moonphase watch I have ever seen. The platinum watch (45 x 42.5 mm) has a hand-winding mechanical movement. It shows the hours, minutes and its coolest feature is the revolving moon function. The watch has blued steel hands and there is a 192-hour power reserve on the caseback. The watch has a crocodile strap and is also available in white gold.
Who says a watch dial has to have a 360º dial? The Sectora watch from Jean d’Eve has hour and minute hands that move over a 120º angle. Their latest model is a new automatic version which uses a modified automatic ETA caliber 2892 movement. The case is stainless steel and it has a sapphire crystal. The Jean d'Eve website has a neat animated gif that shows this unique watch in action (when it hits the hour mark it dramatically snaps back to the start).
Bathys Hawaii has a new (It's really their only watch, so "new" fits only technically) dive watch out, the 100 Fathoms. Styling is similar to a Panerai Luminor Marina, but at the same time, unique. At even a cursory look, it is easily recognizable as a diver's dream watch. When I dive, I wear my Oakley Timebomb, and the numbers are not nearly large enough. The 100 Fathoms addresses this problem by only displaying even numbers, and displaying them in a HUGE font. Hands are proportionately large, as is the date. It comes with both leather and rubber straps, so you won't look like a complete dork if you wear it in public. WristWatchReview totally loves it, I may have to go find out for myself.
