10 Peculiar Watches

From Retro to Techie Timepieces

Wrap your wrist in one of these watches and see what happens. It may not be good, but it could be!

I challenge you to figure out the time on some of these watches. The gallery includes the "retro digital" (if there is such a thing) that displays nothing but the time in a very minimalist way.

Prices range from a hundred bucks to $5,000. These space faces are more than timepieces, they are a statement.
