According to a few I have seen go for auction, between $50-200,000. A small difference... (Hammerhead to Nighthawk). Seems the Opus series go for more though?

Heh. Why do you think I called it a 'dream' watch?

It was me who original posted the image .

The watch here is the Urwerk 201 "Blackshark". Only 10 of this watch are being made (By Felix, by hand) and the price is into 6 figures from what I understand.

Mind you, the case is made of platinum, so the materials probably cost a bit

Dream watch for me.

Interesting, but looks about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

surely more useful, you can't tell the time with a teapot

[Civpilot]

Yet the time display is so simple.


Ok, it doesn't have hands on a circle but so what? It's crystal clear what the time is and if you think for maybe 30seconds (Obviously slightly longer than you thought about what 'humourous' comment to post ) you should even be able to figure out how the movement works, which itself is a stunning peice of engineering.

If it helps you the watch in the picture shows 3.18.

Beautiful, beautiful watches and arguably the most interesting and challenging pieces you can buy today. It's great to see someone moving away from the norm and doing it with hand built pieces like these.

I agree I think its fab, though I'm not sure I want one.

My new (totally unattainable) grail is this:



Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon "Secret".
