This new watch from Diesel is either meant for the constant traveler or the unashamed nerd, but who cares either way – it looks like a crazy device from the future!

This enormous multi-dialed wrist-bling features the ability to keep track of – and display – no less than 4 timezones at once, and has a cool blue/orange face and black leather strap.

No news on UK pricing as yet, but in the US it’s advertised at $300 (£185).

In yet another watch-related-post today, BoingBoing and Watchismo have joined forces to bring you a chance to win one of Quicksilver’s new “eco watches”, the Ray, valued at $450 USD.

The Ray is made from recyclable materials (with an ebony wood casing), requires no batteries and is limited to 1,000 individually numbered watches.

All you need to do is visit the BoingBoing article and follow the instructions to enter your email address and be entered into the draw.  Good luck!

If anyone’s wondering what to get me for Christmas, I’d happily accept this new Palindrome Too watch by Philippe Starck for Fossil.

Almost impossibly thin and light, this innovative watch tells the time using two dials, each with a single hand – one for hours and one for minutes.  It is available in two colour combinations, black and silver and orange and grey.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be available in the UK yet – at least not via Fossil’s UK website, so you’ll either have to wait or get it imported.  It’s selling for $150 in the US, so expect a price tag of around £100 when it does get here…

These chunky cufflinks are hand made to order using real watch mechanisms salvaged from vintage watches, and as such no two pairs are exactly the same.  You don’t need to be a watch nerd or know what “steampunk” means to appreciate their industrial design.

Unfortunately the mechanisms don’t work and the winder is fixed, but that doesn’t stop them being a very classy and interesting addition to your besuited get-up.

Available set in silver or gold from Fabstuff for £99.95.

Can’t afford a Tag Heuer?  Well it just got slightly easier.  This is the new Formula 1 Grande Date – as seen on the wrist of Lewis Hamilton no less – and you don’t need to drive for McLaren to be able to afford one.

Inspired by the 1960s ‘Monte Carlo’ chronograph and costing £625 this watch is significantly more expensive than a day on the go-karts, but bear in mind that most Tags retail at more than four times that amount and it almost looks like a bargain.

There’s no bargain-basement quality here though, the Grande Date is equipped with all the features of it’s more expensive siblings, including 200m water resistance, scratch resistant crystal case and a unidirectional bezel.
