see all the numbers at the bottom, ranging from 0-60 thats the minutes, the needle pointy things points at the minutes and the number on the pointer is the hour. its simple.
I'm guessing when the '8' finishes its 60 minutes' worth, the turbine blade right after it turns into a '9.' When the '9' is done, the third blade immediately takes over at 0 minute, showing a '10.'
Generally speaking, time displays that are tweaked to that degree are rarely useful, if even good looking. This watch seems to prove the opposite, a design that is not only truly innovative, but easy to read, and an aesthetic that has yet to cross over into the "ungodly abomination" that many designers are trying to pawn off these days.

How on earth do you tell the time on that thing!?!?

If you're rich enough to afford this, you've got a servant behind you with a watch just to tell you the time.

See the number at the stem of the little pointer? That's the hour and the number it's pointing at is the minute. How much more simple could you get?

Interesting design.

Yeah, so when one blade finishes its 60 minute rotation the next one is just at the beginning. Very cool.
Gaz @ Apr 19th 2008 11:05AM
Well in that case I want one!

easy. the big hand says 8 and the pointer says 170 minutes. See? the rich have really neat watches; and different time intervals. ah .. to be rich...
actually if you go to the links below you will see that this pig is rather large on both the woman's wrist and the man's wrist. to big to be cool..
