What the Rocketeer!? The HM4 Thunderbolt watch from MB&F, dubbed a “Horological Machine”, is $158,000 worth of pure time-telling insanity. 3 years in the making, this time piece features dual cylinders, the left of which tells you how much power remains in its kinetic charger, with the right displaying the time. The aerodynamic, jet engine-like design is spawned from Maximilian Büsser‘s childhood passion for assembling model plane kits.

The timepieces from Tokyoflash typically don’t appeal to me (even though I can appreciate their crazy-ass innovation). This new offering is quite typically crazy-ass, however can’t tell time for squat; most likely because it’s not a watch. The Escape C, their first consumer electronics gadget, lets you stream stereo audio from your Bluetooth-capable MP3 player so you can listen to your tunes and accept phone calls simultaneously.

I loves me some watch porn, and now I will share some my stash: Behold, for Breitling‘s 125th anniversary, they’ve developed a limited edition Cosmonaute. The Cosmonaute was the first wrist chronograph in space, worn by astronaut Scott Carpenter aboard the Aurora 7 capsule in 1972. $6,575 will score you (or better yet, you can score one for me) one of these insanely gorgeous timepieces.

Those who know me know I have a bit of a watch fetish. While I loves me the Fossils, I’ve never been big on their Philippe Starck collection (no offense, Phil). However, the design of the new Palindrome Too(s) can certainly be appreciated. The left and right spheres display hours and minutes, respectively, in an 8mm case supported by a polyurethane strap.
