    Pretty cool and unique to me. Looks like the dial would be very legible at a quick glance once you get used to the format.

    A seconds hand that rotates once every six minutes ?..... So, they've effectively decimalized the hour

    I've seen them in the flesh--very cool, but they are big, and wear even bigger with no bezel. Plus I'd really worry about having a five-figure paperweight in a few years if they go belly up; no one's going to be able to service these things except them.

    Watching the videos above it is apparent this is a total fail on readability in all aspects. I guess it is a great meeting watch since you can waste a great deal of time trying to figure out the time, and day if the meeting is just droning on. They should have called it he Rube Goldgerg. Complexity with nothing gained.
    Cheers,
