F1/Carbon Watch has Expensive Looks, Like Real Formula 1
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 7:43 PM on April 25, 2008
Designer John Pszeniczny was trying to combine elements of Formula 1 racing with gems and crystals, and we think he's done well with his F1/Carbon GMT watch. It's even got a stopwatch and laptimer built in, and has the time in each of the cities on the F1 calendar. The red-lit display looks kinda mean, and the 18 identical embedded rubies sure are in the spirit of the huge cost of F1. The bracelet style would make it look like a high-tech tyre wrapped round your wrist— though we can't help but wonder about chafing. Just a concept. [Yanko]

It looks excellent. I love the solid strap look where the face and strap are one continuous piece. Have any watches hit the market with design even close to this?

Ohhh... that looks cool. One of the few uber expensive watches that if I had the money I'd buy.

Does it light up all cool like that if you try to take it off or leave your home?

I'm totally wearing these to my next politically-offensive BDSM prostitute orgy.

Combining racing with gems and crystals is like deep-fat-frying a kobe steak. Some strata should just not be mixed.

@ANoel: I am not saying I don't like the watch, which I do. I just find the impetus for the design to be humorous.

Take out the rubies to cut down the price, and I want one.

The rubies are the only things I don't like. Design looks spiffier without them. And it'd go along with my freaking expensive Ferrari jacket. As much as I like they're stuff, paying sixty to a hundred for stuff like a brand Hot Wheels set's nuts.
