40 Bizarre Watches

From Time-Telling Zippers to Oxygen-Generating Timepieces

— June 15, 2010 — Fashion
There's no doubt that being able to tell time is almost an everyday necessity, but there's no point limiting yourself in design when there's several bizarre watches on the market. People like to stand out -- even though half these watches will leave you scratching your head at how they actually tell time.

Forget the general construction of a watch with a plain band, two hands and numbers. These timepieces take it to the extreme -- from numberless faces to watches that monitor laziness.
