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.
