Is this the ugliest watch ever?

Devon Tread 1 - £10,999 - With Free delivery!!!!



From the website:

Unlike any other watch you’ve seen, this mechanical masterpiece uses 4 compact microstep motors to power a series of exposed glass-nylon belts that adjust the time and date. Mesmerising? It’s like staring into a modern art installation of interwoven, perpetually moving conveyor belts. The fact that it tells the time is almost incidental.

The innovation doesn’t stop with the Tread 1’s patented belt design; an optical recognition system ‘knows’ every belt position at all times. What’s more, the crystal shield encasing its phenomenally accurate movement is made from scratch-resistant bullet-proof polycarbonate, and most of its internal parts are produced by suppliers to the aerospace industry. And if you think that elevates this astounding watch to Bond-esque levels of durability you’d be right. Even its steel case is coated with diamond-like carbon.

Scratch-resistant bullet proof polycarbonate casing!

I must admit, I actually rather like that. The sound it makes when it changes hour is fantastic.

That's just my cup of tea though.

So does everyone with a penis.

[Debaser]

I don't get it. Isn't it just a fancy (and very expensive) quartz watch?

[Bungleaio]

I imagine that the skilled and gifted artisan, who trained for many years to create stunning and accurate timepieces, actually wept whilst creating those nightmares.

Nah... I expect they just counted the folding as they pocketed the loot.
