I've been watching these, they look like a lot of fun!

I know there are some Ali sellers that have similar watches, but I haven't come across these designs yet.

If I had to pick one, I think I'd go with the octopus.

Same. Or Voodoo. Or Owl.

I thought the Voodoo and Chameleon were pretty cool. I can see a lot of people going for the Donny though.

Hahaha these are fun. From a distance, I think Shark makes me smile more than the others.

While these may not be for me, I still feel that dials are the final frontier for watches - there is only so much design that can go into a 40mm-ish time device before they all start to look the same...but unique dials can provide a new canvas for watches. I find myself leaning towards unique dials these days vs another skx or sub diver - I mean once you have one....or 3, the itch is scratched.

Aragon/Android has toyed with this idea for some time but unfortunately via huge, unbalanced watches.....some cool dials though. Mr. Jones too.
And, the recent trend towards meteorite and damascus dials and whatever those colourful Glashutte dials are made of. Very interesting!

I wish more companies offered something different, so I hope these do well. Coming soon - the "Marty Feldman" and the "Dolly Parton" versions!

Hmmm, maybe that Voodoo one could accompany me to Mardi Gras someday.....

I think these are definitely inspired by Konstantin Chiyakin's success in the luxury market. I don't mind the designs at all for something fun.

I dunno. Who would buy the Donny? It's not a very flattering rendition of the president, and most Donny supporters don't have a very good sense of humor about things like that, so I would guess they wouldn't be so interested. On the other hand, I'd guess that people who aren't Donny fans don't want to look down at their watch and be reminded of him a bunch of times a day.
Other than political memorabilia collectors, I just don't see a market.

(I don't see a market for Joey either.... It's not enough of a caricature to attract opponents, and it's not flashy, interesting, or positive enough to attract supporters. But maybe I'm wrong.)

I can't unsee "Hippie Watch"





Carry on.

Check out the Triwa Combover watch, that started as an April Fools joke but went into production because of the demand for it.
