5. Piaget Emperador Coussin XL 700P; A hybrid watch? wait what...
When you think about a hybrid car, 9 out of 10 times you would think about a Prius. Forgetting the McLaren P1 is also a hybrid, in that category we can place this Piaget watch. Not only because it's a expensive limited edition (118 pieces and $70,800), but also because the electric ''system'' is complementing the performance.
As you can see above, the micro-rotor is on the dial side, that rotor is winding a generator which powers the watch. That is just....insane and mind blowing in my opinion.
It has a very classy and sleek look with a skeleton-ish type of dial. I would have loved to see it a bit more classy, because that would fit the case design better, with that being round and smooth, but that's just my opinion man.

The details are just.... see for yourself

I'm sorry for the lack of pictures from me, but I was so insanely drunk at that point, I just got one picture that was in focus.
Overall, I love it when brands come out of their comfort zone and just make something ridiculous and then execute it to perfection. If I had a top hat I would take it of for them.
What do you think about nonconventional watches? You know any examples that spring to mind?
Kind regards,
Ron
