Go big or go home! Introducing the Diesel GrandDaddy, which is billing itself as the world’s biggest watch. I don’t know what the actual record is, but this thing is a beast. Ideal for those people who like their cellphones the size of small tablets. This limited edition (1000 numbered pieces) is a whopper of a watch, measuring 66mm x 73mm (a bit over 2.5″ x 2.8″) which leaves plenty of room for a quadruple chronograph. It looks like you could land a plane with those controls.
Bigger is better. Have you been doing your bicep curls? The case is black ion-plated steel, the strap is leather, and it has an iridescent mineral crystal. With four chronograph movements, you can set it for four timezones like the true international player you are. It’s definitely huge and attention grabbing.
Diesel GrandDaddy: World’s Biggest Watch
The Synapse is Nixon’s touch-activated digital watch that’s futuristic-looking enough to please sci-fi junkies (and robots) everywhere. This LCD watch is waterproof up to 100m, and has a digital movement with a touch-activated face. It includes an alarm chime timer and the usual features you’d expect from a digital chronograph watch.
I like how the main face of the watch displays a lot of information at the same time, with minimal use of graphics. Time, alarm, chronograph and date information is all displayed simultaneously using stylized dot-matrix digits.
Its all-chrome look is definitely modern, but if you’re retro-obsessed, go for the golden version. If that doesn’t rock your boat, then the stealthy gunmetal version might work for you.
The Synapse watch is available for $200 to $250 directly from Nixon.
