Aryta Tesla Squelette Quadri Rotor Watch
Let's talk about weird. There is a good weird, and there is certainly bad weird. Which category any particular "weird" falls into it highly subjective. On most accords this watch is weird. I mean look at it? It is unlike almost everything else out there. A one of a kind creation by Yvan Arpa's Artya brand, this watch belongs to the "Coup de foudre" collection which is an ongoing series of watches that have "lightning struck" cases - hence the "Tesla" part of the name. Basically, Yvan's shop employs the use of a large Tesla coil array. Electricity (which is basically lightning) travels between the two coils and the watch case is stuck in the middle. These pieces undergo wild transformative effects aided by artists who help engrave and colorize the metal. A lot of the cases that undergo this treatment are unusable, but the ones that survive are pretty interesting.

picked this up over the weekend, and I couldn't be more pleased. I know some will say the market is soft, this reference is bound to drop more, etc. but, all things considered, I think I got a great price (over the long run), and it feels like a keeper anyway. I imagine it will take some time to get used to the weight, but I can see this as my daily wearer for quite some time.
