Mechanical Digital Watch

Looking for a new watch? If so I am sure this watch would fit the bill, but I am thinking that you may have to sell the yaught to pay for it. This design is completely mechanical and rotates small colored cylinders to display the digital time!

Video interview of the designer.

"Consisting of 651 pieces, the Di Grisogono Meccanica DG (limited to just 177-units) is the world’s first hybrid mechanical-digital watch."

    @Johnny
    Thank you. Because the watch is so expensive, I just didn’t dare to make that remark myself.

    10:09 is THE standard time for hands to be set at in ads… it’s rare for them not to be

    Look this is without doubt an amazing piece of engineering and design but lets face it, the Chinese will have a Knock off on the market in 6 months and if you are lucky it will even have the same company name plastered with glee across the bezel. Go the CLONE society!
