Botta Uno Automatik One-Handed Watch by Watchismo
If you thought the Mondaine that Ami wrote about yesterday was minimalist, then you haven't seen this new Botta.
Get with the times man and check out the Uno, a one-handed watch. Two hands? That's just so second millennium. German watchmaker Klaus Botta's design makes seconds and minutes irrelevant; with the Uno, be on time-ish.
The slacker's watch is available in mechanical automatic (€490)or quartz (starting at €229) from Botta, though non-German speakers may have a tough time deciphering.

1986 Seiko Speedmaster by Giorgetto Giugiaro
If you've ever asked yourself, "What was that amazing watch Lieutenant Ripley wore in the 1986 movie 'Aliens?'" I have the answer for you. It was a Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed Seiko Speedmaster Chronograph. The vertical stopwatch pushers placed inside the asymmetrical case extension are what makes the watch entirely unique. Personally, I think he may have been influenced by the design of the 1973 LIP...
