Spiders are terrifying, but you might want to try to get over that fear and appreciate the beauty of Arachnophobia – quite a remarkable clock from MB&F. Inspired by Maman, a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois, the Arachnophobia takes the shape of a rather gigantic spider.

Asus ZenWatch Smartwatch look pretty good
Smartwatches are cool, although they rarely look as awesome as the ZenWatch. We like the ZenWatch because it is sleek, has the usual and useful features, and looks pretty darn good. Going to the gritty details and specifications, the watch has a slightly curved 1.63-inch 320×320 AMOLED display. It runs on a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, has Bluetooth 4.0, and 512 MB RAM.
Cosmic Watch Matches You Up With the Elements for Luck and Chakra Balance
Cosmic Pro is a watch based on Indian concepts of astrology, where certain precious stones are believed to interface with the stars and planets to have a more positive impact on the life of the person wearing the stones. Usually, such gems or stones are placed in rings on the finger; the watch takes another approach, and adds them to the face of the watch.
Watch Puts the Classic Arcade on Your Wrist
We do often get nostalgic of the good old arcade, and perhaps some would get nostalgic enough to tie a miniature version up on their wrists like a watch. The watch takes the shape of a tiny arcade, showing time analog-style with a combination of dials and space rocks.
Watch Has a Real-Time Solar System For Its Face
It’s always a pleasant wonder when mechanical watches show up with really intricate systems that are crafted well enough to blow your mind.

Mask Analog Watch Hides Numbers, Because Numbers are ‘Disgusting’
Mask rotary watch has two layers, one masking the hour numbers except the relevant one, and the other doing the same for minutes. All other numbers remain hidden under the layers and give the watch a cool minimalist look. Interestingly enough, designer Filip Slováček mentions that all the “disgusting numbers” stay hidden. Although wearing our common sense hat, which is not good enough to change the heading, it apparently has more to do with the designer not being fluent in English, rather than finding numbers disgusting.
A Wristwatch Melting on Your Wrist
