AHCI member Konstantin Chaykin is showing his new Lunokhod watch this year.
I don't know where to start for the description of this watch, so much is out of the ordinary.
The central position is occupied by a big 12mm rotating lunar phase indication. The sphere is fixed and a hood rotates around it to make the moon phases.
The the hours are shown on a concentric scale, day and night by sun and moon pointers respectively.
The watch is made of "Wootz" steel, a very high carbon steel invented in India around 300BC.
It is patterned in layers somwhat in the manner of a damascus steel.
The Lunokhod was a Russian moon rover that was launched in 1970. An appropriate name for a big moon watch in UFO form.
Mr. Chaykin himself is wearing his Jewish hours watch introduced last year.

I agree...
Both from the material and the forms this is a very successful design. It is a watch that one wants to touch and hold. It is unfortunately _way_ too big for me to even start to consider. Don

Cool watch. A bit of fresh air.
