30 Crazy and Unique Watches from Affordable to Luxury

When there are so many watches to choose from how does one decide which direction to go? Sometimes it’s great to just step out of our expected boundaries and try something totally out there and unique. A watch is more than just a timepiece. Many times, it tells a story. Whether it tells the story of the watchmaker, the place it was made, or reminisces something in pop culture, it’s always exciting to see where the story takes each wearer. We had a lot of fun putting together this list of crazy and unique watches. Exploring the possibilities in mechanics and design and seeing where these skills can expand into is refreshing and exhilarating. It’s hard to choose a favorite from this list as each one truly is unique from the other and shows us what creativity and pushing bounds can do. Let us know which ones are your favorites.

H. Moser & Cie Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon

Price: $90,932 USD; Case Size: 42.8mm; Water Resistance: 120m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

H. Moser & Cie. is a watch manufacturer that’s been around since the mid 1800s. It was founded by Heinrich Moser and has since remained an independent family business. They produce their own in-house movements and handmake their watches, which gives them the ability to get more creative with their designs and execution. The Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon is a great representation of the brand’s creativity and watch engineering expertise. The 3D movement is unobstructed on display sitting in an almost fully transparent dial and caseback. So, it’s not just the one-minute flying tourbillon that’s visible but the intricate cylindrical hairspring as well as the other gears and parts are all clearly seen. Having the resources and capability of creating pieces in-house allows for the utmost precision. This piece is a work of art fit for any watch collection. You can reserve one for $90,932 USD.

MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual Stainless Steel

Price: $204,592 USD; Case Size: 44mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

When it comes to MB&F it’s hard to choose just one crazy and unique watch. The creations of Max Büsser are almost all unconventional watch designs. The pieces often look futuristic, space-age, and altogether really cool. For this list we are focusing on the Legacy Machine Perpetual. The Legacy Machine Perpetual was made in collaboration with independent watchmaker, Stephen McDonnell. Perpetual calendar complications are complicated as is but Büsser and McDonnell have implemented an innovative way to display a perpetual calendar watch. They first had to build their own perpetual calendar movement to give them the ability to bring to life their unique design. The in-house complication allows the subdials to “float” above the salmon dial plate. Hidden studs hold the subdials up, something incredibly unique since the studs would have normally interfered with a traditional perpetual calendar movement. At the center of the subdials sits the flying balance wheel that beats like a heart as it keeps the watch running. The price for the Legacy Machine Perpetual in stainless steel is $204,592 USD.

Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon

Price: $280,000 USD; Case Size: 44mm; Water Resistant: 30m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

Jacob & Co. are not shy about pushing conventional lines and creating unique and fun pieces. The Casino Tourbillon was not the first time Jacob & Co. created a Russian Roulette inspired watch. Their first model, Astronomia Casino, was a little more detailed where the roulette table sits below a rotating tourbillon on two-axis. The newer Casino Tourbillon model puts the roulette table at the center of the piece. The Casino Tourbillon uses a one-axis tourbillon movement which is located and visible on the back of the case. Although the Astronomia was stunning, this reiteration is easier to read and use. The roulette dial displays time and even functions as an actual roulette wheel. It has 37 slots and a white ceramic ball. The watch retailed for $280,000 USD and was a 101-piece limited edition.

Ludovic Ballouard Upside Down

Price: $95,686 USD Case Size: 41mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

The Upside Down watch is exactly what you’d imagine it to be. The numbers are displayed upside down in individual small circles around the dial. There is one main hand which is the minute hand and a small subseconds right above 6’oclock. As the minutes and seconds pass into the next hour the number within that circle will rotate right side up to display the current hour. A small dot also appears within the circle to emphasize the time. Ludovic Ballouard, the man behind the brand and the watches has a taste for eccentricity. He founded Ludovic Ballouard in 2009 and the Upside Down was introduced shortly after. Other than curiosity for pushing boundaries and creating intricate movements the meaning behind this piece is to remind the wearer to focus only on the present time. As the other hours, past and future, sit upside down there is only one place to focus. There are many dial variations for the collection. The standard Red Gold model retails for $95,686 USD.

Vianney Halter Deep Space Tourbillon

Price: CHF187,500; Case Size: 46mm; Water Resistance: 30mm; Movement: Manual Wind; Crystal: Sapphire.

On this list we’ve seen what qualities one-axis and two-axis tourbillons could add to a timepiece and now we see the additional dimensions and characteristics a three-axis tourbillon can create. The Deep Space Tourbillon is a 4D watch that gives the feel of floating in space. The large three-axis tourbillon sits at the center of the dial while time is displayed in an outer ring around it. Even the placement of the curved hands is unique on this piece. The blue titanium hands start from the edge of the watch and sit over the outer ring. The hour hand is skeletonized to highlight the time through the open window and the minute hand thinly extends to the center of the dial. All of this sits below a super domed sapphire crystal so that you can get full view of the rotating tourbillon. The rotation interludes of the three-axis tourbillon are 40 seconds, 6 minutes, and 30 minutes, creating an array of fluid movements.

CIGA Design Series U Blue Planet Gilding Version

Price: $1,899 USD; Case Size: 46mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

CIGA was founded in China (Check our or full guide here) in the last 10 years and since their inception they have already won numerous awards for their watches, including a GPHG award for their Blue Planet watch. The Gilding Version of the Blue Planet watch takes the piece to the next level in a black ceramic case with black and gold colorway. The earth’s engraving has been layered in 24k gold. The dial is created through an 18-hour process of CNC engraving and precision. And unlike most other watches the CIGA Blue Planet does not use traditional hands to display time. The watch rotates like earth and time is told with the two-ring system marked by a compass. It’s clear why CIGA has been winning many awards for this innovative and cool piece. The Gilded Version retails for $1,899 USD. You can check out our review of the CIGA Design Blue Planet Gilding Version here.

Kollokium Projekt 01

Price: $3,075 USD; Case Size: 38.5mm; Water Resistance: Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

Kollokium was founded in 2020 by three friends, Manuel Emch, Barth Nussbaumer and Amr Sindi. Their passion to start their brand comes from wanting to create pieces that are totally unique in identity and to not necessarily recreate pieces of the past. They aspire to very much create from a blank canvas and really step out of the conventional expectations of what a watch is. You can see that in their first creation, the Kollokium Projekt 101 or the K,P–n°01. This is a truly unique timepiece. The dial is created from 468 hand-applied and hand-painted cylindrical markers in six different heights and diameter. An orange super luminova adds an additional sci-fi look. At first glance you might wonder how you’re supposed to tell time as the cylindrical markers create a mesmerizing optical illusion. But as you dive deeper into the piece the ease of time telling is there on this funky backdrop. The piece was created for friends and family of the three founders and is limited to 99 pieces. It will retail for $3,075 USD.

Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight Planetarium

Price: $240,000 USD; Case Size: 44mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

The Midnight Planetarium is a true planetary beauty. The unobstructed dial omitting hands lays out a clean replica of the night sky. Similar to the CIGA Blue Planet, time is displayed on two rotating rings around the dial and marked by a shooting star. The star speckled dial features planets (Earth, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn) as well as the sun in their respective paths. The planets and sun are all made from precious stones and add a wonderful contrast of color. Each planet sits on its own disc and moves independently of the others according to its real-life rotation. The piece retails for $240,000 USD.

Longines Avigation Type A-7

Price: $3,900 USD; Case Size: 41mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

Longines has a long history of watches used across the military aviation and their pieces are still admired today. They’ve been diving into their archives and recreating pieces inspired through their Heritage Avigation collection. The Longines Avigation Type A-7 has a spot on this list due to its funky and cool design. The watch looks as if it’s sitting at a tilt. The crown is placed at what would normally be 2 o’clock but is 12 o’clock on this piece due to the dial angle. The piece feels like it has taken flight and is tilting from side to side as a pilot would carry the plane. Somehow it works great and is still legible when wearing it. The Avigation Type A-7 Pilots watch is offered on a traditional brown leather strap and is priced at $3,900 USD.

Ressence Type 3 Eucalyptus

Price: $44,054 USD; Case Size: 44mm; Water Resistance: Splash Resistant; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

When you first look at the dial of the Ressence Type 3 you might wonder what the layout and placement of the icons on this 2D piece indicate. You’ll also notice that the hours sit in a separate subdial from the minutes. It’s an array of controlled chaos. The date sits at the most outer ring of the dial and the no bezel case allows the crystal to flow over creating an open canvas. The ring right below the date is the minute track. There are four subdials in the center of the dial which display hours, day, temperature, and a runner of 180 seconds. As time and days pass the inner dial and subdials rotate, as well as the outer date ring. This creates a fun flow as the minute track remains stationary. The watch is available for $44,054 USD.

Simon Brette Chronometre Artisans

Price: CHF50,000; Case Size: 39mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Manual Wind; Crystal: Sapphire.

A well-executed fusion of classical and contemporary. The Simon Brette Chronometre Artisans uses inspiration from 20th century watch craftsmanship and modernizes it for today’s age. The creation is a beautiful and elegant work of art. The “dragon-scale” dial is a mosaic of red gold pieces which adds dimension and looks awesome. The dial is partly exposed which continues to create a visually pleasing aesthetic of dimension and asymmetry. The symmetrical placement of the movement is on view from the open caseback. Early on in his journey founder, Simon Brette, joined Chronode, a movement and conception development company run by Jean-Francois Mojon. Brette spent many years here perfecting his technical craft.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Quadriptyque

Price: $1,445,000 USD; Case Size: 51.2mm x 31mm x 15.15mm; Water Resistance: 30ml Movement: Manual Wind; Crystal: Sapphire.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is known for their elevated designs and the Reverso is one of their most popular collections. The Reverso Quadriptyque was introduced at Watches & Wonders in 2021. The piece is equipped with the Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 Quadriptyque made up of 11 complications. It might be one of JLC’s most complicated movements ever, certainly most complicated Reverso. The piece is made up of four faces. The first face of the watch is an instantaneous perpetual calendar with a flying tourbillon in the bottom left corner. The layout is funky and sophisticated. Subdials sit slightly hidden behind the rectangular center dial which displays time as well as day and month. When the watch is reversed the second face displays the movement and components of the minute repeater. A small dial also displays time on the second face with a digital jumping hour. This is also where you can see the movements as the minute repeater chimes. On the inside of the case is the third face which displays three different versions of the lunar month (Synodic cycle, Draconic cycle, and Anomalistic cycle) as well as moon phase of the Northern Hemisphere. The fourth and final face of the watch is found on the caseback which displays the moon phase of the Southern Hemisphere. This piece takes the perpetual calendar movement to the next level and features many firsts in the watchmaking world. The piece was limited to 10 pieces and priced at just under $1.5 million USD.

Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon 6002R

Price: On Request; Case Size: 44mm; Water Resistance: Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

Patek, like JLC, always deliver prominent timepieces with intricate complications and beautiful designs that push many bounds of watch engineering. The case alone for the Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon 6002R is so beautifully executed with an elegant pattern hand graved into red gold. The watch is made up of 12 complications, being Patek’s second most complicated movement. Although this piece can’t be reversed like the JLC Reverso, it too features more than one dial face. The main dial on the front of the watch is a perpetual calendar and its design is an ode to classical luxury timepieces. It is made using a brown Grand Feu champlevé and cloisonné enameling. The red gold hands are just as intricately designed as the case with volutes and arabesques. The caseback features the second dial which displays sidereal time, sky chart, phases and orbit of the moon. Price is available upon request.

TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma Diamant d'Avant-Garde

Price: $500,000 USD; Case Size: 44mm; Water Resistance: 100m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

If you were looking for some serious arm candy this piece makes itself seen. The case and most of the bracelet are set with an array of lab grown diamonds that have been cut into long angular pieces. The crown is made from a single lab grown diamond. All of this stands out and sparkles against the all black aluminum case and bracelet. The dial is no exception to the appeal this piece offers. The dial’s polycrystalline diamond plate is created by a group of crystals grown as one which looks like a glitter of diamonds all along the dial. The indices are also lab grown diamonds. This piece offers bling without overdoing it. Still subtle in some ways but bold enough to make you shine.

A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwork Honeygold “Lumen” 142.055

Price: Price Upon Request; Case Size: 41.9mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

A. Lange & Sohne have a very distinct style, the Lange 1, being one of their most known collections. All of their timepieces are displayed across large open dials in what is usually a classical but unique style. On this list we are featuring their Zeitwork Honeygold Lumen. The Zeitwork collection is one of their more modern styles where they still play into the large open dial aesthetic but use a more contemporary execution. They are definitely great at using the dial as a canvas to try different techniques and styles. The Zeitwork Honeygold Lumen features a jumping numerals display to tell time. The hours and minutes are seen through large openings in the center of the dial replicating a digital clock. The dial also displays a sub seconds at 6 o’clock and a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock. The coolest part of this piece is the way it works. The hour numerals sit on a large disc which takes up most of the movement. While the minute tracks sit on two smaller discs. These numbers are somewhat visible behind the coated semi open sapphire crystal. The numbers almost look like they’re floating in the background of the dial. You can even see the numbers outside of the time windows lumed at night! Price is available upon request.

Hamilton Jazzmaster Face 2 Face Limited Edition

Price: $6,195 USD; Case Size: 53mm x 44mm; Water Resistance: 50m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

Usually when we are talking about Hamilton timepieces, we’re referencing one of their well-known field watches, which are minimal straightforward pieces. However, Hamilton also makes some very unique watches worthy of this list, including the Jazzmaster Face 2 Face. The oval stainless steel case is a unique shape and is reversible, allowing you to choose from two dial options. Both faces display the skeletonized rotors of each automatic movement. One side of the face features a “boy racer” chronograph that is contemporary and technical. The reverse side features a three-hand class dial. You can change from modern to classic with the slightest flip. The watch is available for $6,195 USD.

Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton Night Surfer

Price: $13,775 USD; Case Size: 41mm; Water Resistance: 100m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

A second collaboration from Zenith and Time + Tide comes as the Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton Night Surfer. The skeleton design embodies Zenith by featuring their emblematic four-pointed star cut out across the dial. The deep blue details along the dial stand out so nicely against the microblasted titanium case and bracelet. The microblast finish gives the watch a darker matte look. Even at night the star element making up most of the dial lights the way with its luminescent lines. The caseback displays a blue oscillating weight and more blue bridges really carrying the theme of the night surfer all across the watch. Only 200 pieces of the watch was made and retailed for $13,775 USD.

Oris ProPilot X Calibre 115

Price: $8,000 USD; Case Size: 44mm; Water Resistance: 100m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

Another skeleton on our list is the Oris ProPilot X Calibre 115. The bridges are shaped similar to the zenith defy but this skeleton dial features more subdials and a large visible mainspring at 12 o’clock. It’s cool how Oris has integrated the power reserve as part of the display through the open barrel and mainspring. And it’s not just for show. The mainspring generates 10 days, about 240 hours of power to this piece! Whether you’re already a fan of Oris or new to their pieces, you’re sure to love this one. It retails for $8,000 USD.

Czapek & Cie Antarctique Rattrapante

Price: $53,240 USD; Case Size: 42.5mm; Water Resistance: 120m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

Skeleton dials are unique in that they center the dial around the movement. This allows for each one to look different from the other as each movement has something different to display. A lot of creativity and engineering can go into a skeleton dial. Czapek has introduced one of their latest additions to their Antarctique collection with the Antarctique Rattrapante. The brand launched in 2015 although they had been making watches prior to that. Their vision is to create the perfect harmony between high-end mechanics and distinguished aesthetics. We can see that in this new model. The specialty of this piece is the split-second mono-pusher chronograph movement. A feature the brand has worked hard and taken time to develop. The piece is limited to 77 pieces with the price of $53,240 USD.

Audemars Piguet Code 11:59 Starwheel

Price: $57,900 USD; Case Size: 41mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

After 20 years since their last wandering hour complication in 2003, Audemars Piguet has brought back the rare complication in their newest Code 11.59 watch, named the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Starwheel. AP reintroduced the complication in 1991 as the Starwheel, it was available in various models up until about the early 2000s. Now, it’s back in a playful, contemporary, and sleek model in collaboration with free-spirited French artist, Ugo Gattoni. The blue aventurine dial mimics a starry and planetary galaxy while enhancing the three bold black opaline aluminum hour discs. The discs, which turn on their own axes, contain four digits each from 1-12 as they take turns pointing to the arched minute section at the top of the watch bringing the wandering hour complication to life. This AP is truly one of the most unique watches on the list and retails for $57,900 USD.

Konstantin Chaykin Joker

Price: $8,000 USD; Case Size: 42mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

The Joker watch was awarded the “Audacity” prize at the Geneva Grand Prix of Horlogerie 2018, making Chaykin the first Russian to ever receive the award. The piece certainly has audacity with a dial painted as the face of Joker. The face is slightly intimidating before pulling you into its fun demeanor. Even more so it’s fascinating how Chaykin created a movement to bring this dial design to life. Konstantin Chaykin is an inventor and haute horologer. However, Chaykin wasn’t deterred from creating a unique movement for a piece like this, for him the joy was in the Joker face and its complete innovation of stepping out of the bounds of traditional watchmaking. For him it was more of an art.

Cartier Crash (2019 Reissue)

Price: Up To $200,000 USD; Case Size: 45.32 x 28.15mm; Water Resistance: Movement: Manual Wind; Crystal: Sapphire.

The Cartier Crash is reminiscent in shape to Salvador Dali’s melting clocks painting. However, the story of the Crash was not born from the artist’s work. In the 1960s there were many prominent watch enthusiasts that wanted something more unique and unconventional than the watches that were in the market. So, Cartier got to work in trying to accomplish just that. The idea was born through their popular Maxi Oval watch. Jean Jacques and Rupert Emmerson toyed with the idea of what the Maxi Oval might look like if it were in a car crash. The warped melting design of the Cartier Crash was born. In 2019 Cartier recreated the Crash in two new models for the re-opening of the New Bond Street boutique in London. The two models were slightly larger in size than the original collection. They came in yellow gold and white gold set with diamonds. Cartier also elevated the design and mechanics of the piece further with the addition of three skeleton models in 2019 as well. The platinum models were set with yellow diamonds, pink sapphires, and a combination of diamonds and emeralds. In 2020 a resurfaced yellow gold Crash model sold for $96,767 USD at auction with Philips in Hong Kong. In 2023 another yellow gold model sold for $199,132 USD at auction at Philips Geneva.

Greubel Forsey GMT Sport

Price: $562,000 USD; Case Size: 42mm; Water Resistance: 100m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

When it comes to Greubel Forsey it’s hard to pick just one watch to fit our crazy and unique watches list since they are so great at creating such unconventional pieces. Robert Geubel and Stephen Forsey are two watchmakers that brought together their skill and expertise to found Greubel and Forsey in the early 2000s. Since then, they’ve created many unique watches with features never before seen on timepieces and have done memorable collaborations like their piece with Harry Winston. The GMT Sport is another very cool watch in their collection. Everything from the piece’s bracelet to the curved case and the technical dial and functions makes this a unique piece. The GMT Sport uses Greubel Forsey’s Tourbillon 24 Secondes, an invention by the brand that uses a fast rotation speed and inclined angle to resolve issues of critical positions of the oscillator in relation to gravity.

Xeric Scrambler Automatic

Price: $875 USD; Case Size: 40.5mm; Water Resistance: 50m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

Xeric is another brand that makes many various crazy and unique pieces at reasonable prices. Most of them use the wandering hour movement. The one we are focused on for this list is their Xeric Scrambler Automatic. The automatic wandering hour movement in this piece creates a very fun dial design. It might even look intimidating at first to read the time with the hour numerals floating around on groups of various discs. It’s really not complicated though. At the top of the dial is a minute track in increments of 10 (0-60) and an open window. The hour moves into the open window in alignment with the minute to show the time. The collection offers an array of colors. The silver red black colorway is available on Amazon for $875 USD.

Beaubleu Ecce Vesperal

Price: $1,073 USD; Case Size: 39mm; Water Resistance: 50m; Movement: Automatic; Crystal: Sapphire.

We love that Beaubleu could take make minimal into crazy and unique. The Ecce Vesperal stands out in its brushed steel dial that flows right into the case. But it’s the hands that stand out most on this timepiece. The three hands are cut into big open circles. The smallest depicts the hours and the largest one in blue is for the seconds. The numerals sit in a center dial in small typography adding to the clean and contemporary look of this piece. This is definitely a fun piece to add to your collection. It is available for $1,073 USD.

The Electricianz Carbon Z

Price: $270 USD; Case Size: 42mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Quartz & Mechanical; Crystal: Mineral.

The Electricianz Carbon Z watch embodies its name in its design. The dial is truly unique for this piece. Time is displayed on a small dial that takes up most of the right side of the watch.

Genus GNS Dragon

Price: $195,187 USD; Case Size: 43mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

Their style is mesmerizing and creates optical illusions to the eye. The GNS Dragon has a golden dragon that curves across the center of the dial and rests on top of the minute subdials. Even the subdials on this piece are unique and don’t fit the conventional mold. A very cool detail about this watch is that the dragon is not there just for show, but functions to tell the minutes. The dragon rotates with the movement of the watch and points its head to depict the minute. If you’re looking for something unique, elevated, and fun this is a great piece to embody all of that. It is priced at $195,187 USD.

Urwerk UR-220

Price: Upon Request; Case Size: 43.8mm x 52.9mm x 14.8mm; Water Resistance: 30m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

Urwerk is known for their unique cases and unique dial designs and mechanics. It’s always fun to see how watchmakers can manipulate complications to come up with innovative new techniques which also in turn tend to always elevate the designs of the watches too. Urwerk reuses some of their already successful technologies in the UR-220 but have refined certain qualities to deliver a sleeker more ergonomic structure and movement. The shape of the case and the design and function of the dial make it reminiscent of a spaceship. At the center of the dial is the exceptional 3D retrograde minute hand. The minute hand floats over the hour satellite and highlights the hour while pointing out the minutes along the bottom half of the wrist watch. It has a flyback of less than 0.1 seconds as it flies back to depict the changing hours. The caseback displays a control board with an updated oil change indicator found on other Urwerk models. The oil change indicator reads, in months, how many times the movement has been in operation. Price for the Urwerk UR-220 is available upon request. 15 pieces are made each year.
