racing
Despite what you may or may not think about F1 racing in light of the
recent hooker-centric events, it's still a pretty damn popular sport. As such, John Pszeniczny has taken inspiration from the racing series to create the F1/Carbon GMT watch. This design's a concept made of carbon fiber — we think to make it lighter so it can, you know, go faster — Swarovski crystals, rubber and metal. One particularly cool feature is the watch's ability to tell you the time at the 18 different F1 circuit cities — so you never, ever miss a race start. It also includes a lap timer, as well as a stop watch. Unfortunately although it's only a concept, we think
Nike should totally snag the design and make them. Or maybe Heidi Fleiss. [

iso-lation in time
Released by BMW to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the bubblecar that saved its bacon, porkchops and head cheese after the Second World War, this Isetta watch is rather neat, but we think we'd feel rather pretentious wearing it unless we could score a Hayabusa watch for the other wrist. Of course, then we'd look like a slavering dork. And at a $489 Buy-it-Now price, it's a tad rich for our blood, as well. But if you can't live without obscure paraphenalia illustrating your loyalty to Italian-designed, German-improved the refrigerator-shaped machine, dive on in, Chuckles. [
