It's a sculpture using watch parts by artist Sue Beatrice:

They're incredible, aren't they? How talented and imaginative!

Incredible work

Watch back! Breitling say they've fixed it. Time will tell (excuse the pun). This has been in and out of various service centres since November 2012:

Meet Ritot - the first projection watch!


It’s been a long time since the mankind has stopped peering into the sky at the sun to calculate the time. Clocks were invented for this purpose. The first clock was created thousands of years ago. There were various types of clock, including sundial, clepsydra, hourglass and others.
Since then, the evolution of clock has continued and brought to us the first wristwatch. Every year there emerge dozens of new models of wirstwatches, but the operating principle has not changed.
We live in a new progressive millennium; everything around us progresses and develops. In our opinion, clock design should be both technically innovative and fashionable. Watches demonstrating that humanity does not stand still. These are the watches we bring into life.
On the Internet there were talks about a new generation of watches; however, they were just mere talks and nothing specific. Here we offer you the opportunity to see them, hold them and become a piece of history by wearing them; be the one that boosts the tech world evolution. We are talking about the generation of wristwatches, which project the dial onto your wrist.

$120 for 1 which is cut price. . . . .I think I'll pass. fitness tracker sounds promising but it would literally need to be as bright as the picture shows in order for it to really wow people. . . . . Maybe at night time?

Recommend me a watch please?
Looking for some ideas, don't really wanna spend over ?250.
I quite like some of the eco drive ones but the cheap ones look a bit naff.

For ?250 I would buy the Mondaine ultra slim.

Heheh, cool. Also linked from that page, a ?2.6m watch: http://www.ablogtowatch.com/patek-ph...d-anniversary/ When you actually read about what it can do and look at the picture of the internals, it's pretty clear why it's so much

Got my eye on this one but need to see it in the flesh first before buying.
Smouty, that's a nice watch but I reckon I'd break it in a strong wind!

Lucy got me an awesome new Wave Ceptor watch. It gets time from the ether / radio / magic time wizards, so no setup needed. It has a digital alarm and stopwatch etc. but doesn't need batteries (small wizards residing inside??) and is waterproof.

Nice watch Charles, I had a Casio solar a few years ago and loved it. Only problem is mine did have a battery inside which kept being topped up by the solar.
The was a small strength meter showing the charge rate etc.

Mine eventually died as the battery gave up and the solar cell then couldn't charge it. It needed a service from Casio to replace the battery.

Are you sure yours doesn't have a battery at all.
