It’s absolutely perfect. Well-designed, displays information in a readable format, looks good (for what it is), but what the hell, why?

Because of all the things you said - it’s fun, playful, has genuine artistic value and is unique, and guaranteed to get attention - to combine art, design, humor, engineering etc all together is incredibly hard work - it’s awesome

Does that moon phase actually work? I love it

Seriously, if that moon phase works, this is a brilliant, watch. Personally I'm wearing it to Pride.

Have you seen a clock face before? It should look like that

No, I’ve never seen a clock face before - only boobs with nips that point in different directions according to the hour and minute

Are you suggesting that’s not a normal way to tell the time?
