Weird. It's actually easy to make that kind of contraption, because the movement is small enough to make room for a dial outside the perimeter.

no point of having also the roman numerical in the middle, you won't be seeing the hands sideway.

Quite a good effort imo. At least they made some effort modify the movement using a module. Price doesn't seem too bad as well.

It's a UFO that can't fly. So just an unidentified object I guess.

Its definitly an interesting design though.

The hesalite dome actually supports the entire top half of the watch. The movement and bezel have to float so the hands can do a full 360 degree rotation.

A significant engineering endeavour designing this thing.

A lot of work for a novelty watch, but still impressive and original.

I wonder how hard of a tap it would take to pop that dome out and send the whole thing flying off your wrist though...

Maybe it does have potential to fly after all.

Legit UFO, I retract my previous statement.

That was pretty much my reaction but didn't want to flavor the post.
