Wow, some incredibly intricate stuff there.
Like high-end turntables & hi-fi though, it seems the more you pay, the more that ergonomics get thrown out the window!

I came across this yesterday which is a bit of a reversal - a mobile phone powered by an intricate watch movement.

I like the phone, appreciate the belt watch and can't see the point of the others- ugly.
