'Gothic pirate spaceship' watch knows just what to say to take my breath away

dewitt9.jpgMan, watches don't get much cooler or crazier looking than the DeWitt Concept No. 1, a one-of-a-kind timepiece that'll set you back a whopping $633,000 if you decide to splurge on it. That might sound crazy to you, but someone bought it at an auction before ever even seeing it.

What makes it so unique? Well, in the words of the creators, this "gothic pirate spaceship of a watch is taking the steampunk oeuvre to new heights with its expanding riveted case, flying tourbillon, five barrels and a 21 day power reserve." Gothic pirate spaceship? Steampunk? Now that's how you sell an expensive watch to rich nerds, my friends. Future watchmakers take note.
