I feel as though the advent of smartwatches has greatly eroded the world of weird and wonderful wrist pieces… which also tell the time. In my quest for small wristwatches which track the moon, I've seen some zany designs.

What's the most interesting and oddball timepiece you've encountered?

@tilde Some time circa 2000 or maybe a few years earlier, I was gifted a wristwatch. It had a fixed-shape rotating cover with a pie-slice-shaped cutout of maybe 30° or so.

I never did quite work out how to use it to tell time, and probably lost it somewhere along the road from then to now for that reason. But it was definitely oddball for a watch.
