Hamilton watch inspired by 2001 a Space Odyssey

The Hamilton Time Player Watch is a recycled design from a clock they originally made for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Director Stanley Kubrick was said to be notoriously pernickety about design.

The titanium watch has nine tiles on the face, eight of which have counters on.

The last tile acts like a sliding puzzle that allows for the time to be set depending on their location. 

The watch will cost $2,700.

Digital Watch but all analog

The Di Grisogono Meccanica DG watch looks digital, but is purely analog.

There will be only 177 are being made and availible, and each one contains over 651 parts to the watch.

'The mechanically operated digital display of the second timezone shows tens of hours, single hours, tens of minutes and single minutes, all displayed by mobile microsegments driven by an assemblage of 23 cams connected to a set of gears and a triggering and synchronization system. The time information is displayed by an array of 23 horizontally and vertically positioned microsegments. Vertical segments are 9 mm high and weigh at most 25 milligrams while the horizontal segments measure 2.90 mm in length and weigh only 10 milligrams. The segments have four faces: two opposing visible faces fitted with colored strips and two opposing unmarked faces. Time changes are effected by 90° rotations of the required segment or segments. Involving one to twelve segments, time changes are lightning fast.'
