'Danish Design' chrono (decent watch in the middle of this somewhere):


BRM 'gas mask' horror watch:


J. Spring dartboard (check out the bezel):


Mauboussin incredible shrinking dial (£4400):


Jean D'Eve. I think this is a watch:


Memphis Belle Predator Spirit (ugh):

Wow... those are some really ugly pieces. Interesting post :)

[VinceR]

How do people come up with designs like those :?: :?: Although I must confess I do like the dial on that J. Spring dartboard ..

Of the lot that is the only one I feel a bit of affection for...at least it does not take itself too seriously.

J. Spring is Japanese I believe - and I never knew they even played darts over there.

My eyes, my poor eyes..... :shock:

You really did hurt my feelings by showing me these disgusting designs.

It's a miracle they actually seem to sell this stuff :shock: :shock:

[Qatar-wol]

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little...

This is the anti-John's Round-up. Thanks - I think! :)

Jean D'Eve. I think this is a watch:

The Jean d?Eve ?Samara? is a design classic and a great watch for ladies. :D

The rest you can grind.

By George there's some horrid looking stuff in there! Was the dartboard watch a special order for that tasteful darter Mr. Jocky Wilson perhaps?

[Dean in Canuckistan]

No accounting for taste I suppose... :?

Mauboussin incredible shrinking dial (£4400):

That just looks like those 'classy' :wink: gold clowns from argos.

Ah the Fitchburg State College boys. Haven't seen any of them for a while.

[BDStevens]

Brilliant. The ironic part is I probably couldn' t afford any of those even if I was daft enough to like them! :violent1:

[sinnerman]

Jeez those Danish Design pushers remind me of my mother in law's nipples.

She has three??

[Qatar-wol]

Serious thread necromancy from the noob there.

I take it back - he's been a member for five and a half years!

[geoffcotton]

She has three??

Mrs Francisco Scaramanga I presume.

A worthwhile bump, mankind should never be allowed to forget the horrors we have perpetrated in the past.

[JonRA]

I wondered for a moment if I could wear the BRM gas mask - but no...

[AlphaOmega]

Jeez those Danish Design pushers remind me of my mother in law's nipples.

Not sure playing with either is a good idea.

[MrGrumpy]

Thank you. In some weird way I found that chamber of horrors somewhat carthartic!!!

[animalone]

Beat me to it

[snowman]

At least with that one the underlying design is acceptable, unlike...

In that new YM, they've actually made a worse watch than the Bet Lynch leopard Daytona, which is some going.

Wow the guys that designed those watches must have been trying very hard to make an ugly watch or they they were on some mind bending drugs.

I think the leopard Daytona is alright. Yeah, it's a gaudy and vulgar trinket, but at least it's a reasonably well done thing. They've stuck to a theme, the've made an effort by thowing in a strap, end-links, dial, markers and bezel, all of which complement each other. If you're Bet Lynch, Steven Tyler or just want something super-bling that's a bit fun and tounge-in-cheek to dress up your jeans/t-shirt outfit I don't know if you could do better.

That YM. A stupid, and vile in and of itself, bezel plonked onto inappropriate and otherwise standard watch...not just ugly, but lazy.

[Papa Hotel]

No ugly watch thread is complete without a Diesel Big Daddy.

I especially love the wonky crown on this one in particular.

I can't quite believe I'm saying this... but I kinda agree with you.

Quite a few horrors from Rolex in this thread. I've always thought of Rolex as being fairly conservative in their designs, perhaps a little too much. However, judging by the look of some of these watches, that may not be the case.

Is it me or does the 4th time reading in LCD form state a different time to the other 3? Looks like 12:38 to me.

QUAD time Iain, quad time! How brilliant is that? There aren't enough quad time watches on the market right now.

Worth nothing too, that's possibly the most restrained design and colour scheme of the awesome Big Daddy family.

[Velorum]

Looks more like 'hammer time' to me

The most ugliest Rolex ever, IMO. I honestly thought it was a fake the first time I saw it.
