Here is a sweet new Porsche Design wristwatch. When Porsche first came out with watches I was a bit skeptical, but now I would have to say they have produced some really nice designs. They named this one the "Flat Six" after their renowned flat six engine.
The Sinn U2 case is made out of German submarine steel that is guaranteed to be corrosion-proof, as well as impervious to salt water. The bezel is almost scratch-proof due to a process called "Tegiment" which causes steel to harden to ceramic levels. It is a GMT, which is very convenient if you are not in your home time zone. I am not sure the dial and look really appeals to me, but the 2000m dive depth, German engineering and GMT function definitely does.

Franck Muller's new Aeternitas Version II Perpetual Calendar wristwatch has a world-first indefinitely functioning year indicator along with an east and west press button 24 hour function. Two time zones utilizing a 24-hour hand are placed either side of the tourbillon at 5 and 7 o’clock and can be set by pushbuttons on the side of the case. The time zone indicator on the right is conceived for travelling eastwards and therefore moves one hour ahead at each press of the corrector on the right side of the case. The time zone indicator on the left is designed for travelling westwards and therefore moves back an hour with each press of the corrector on the left side of the case. Just above the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, is the year indicator which functions from 0 to 999 and then continues along its merry way indefinitely. Now that’s a world-first.
Here is a cool blue Corum Admiral's Cup Competition 48. It has the typical unique and colorful look that I expect from Corum.
Iced out spinner wristwatch by Icetek. We have all seen the spinner 20 inch wheels on SUVs and cars, now we get to see spinner watches. I am sure this watch does what it was created to do, that is attract attention. It has 4.5 carats worht of diamonds and sells for $5000. I have never heard of Icetek and do not care to look into there background. This watch looks like a knockoff and I would not waste any money on such a gimmick. If you want a diamond bling bling watch then get a Jacob & Co.
