Moving on our Christmas gift guide, it’s time to look at the some of the most rare, geeky and quirky watches that are part of our current collections. Perhaps you have an eccentric aunt, uncle or even a good friend who will absolutely adore this kind of extra-ordinary watches? If this is the case, this Christmas gift guide: the best of rare, geeky and quirky watches edition is right on time to help you in your quest to find the watch for that especial person.

With so many odd exemplars to choose from, it was a bit of a challenge to pick the top 3 for this edition. I’m not sure whether this is the top 3 best or worst, because it could easily be both! I’ll leave that up to you, but one thing is for sure: these are some of the weirdest watches I’ve ever seen.

1. 01 The One ‘Spinning Wheel Black & Green’: ok all of the 01 The One watches look like something from other dimension, really. These binary watches are for sure an evolved way of perceiving and reading time. They even have mini video tutorials that teach you how to read time. From all the futuristic timepieces my favorite has to be the ‘Spinning Wheel Black & Green” simply because of the bright and lovely color combination that also reminds me of the color wheel.
2. Diesel Big Daddy Rainbow: this new interpretation of the Mr. Daddy collection with matte black plating and its blue, red, orange and yellow color pops on the dial looks more ‘friendly’ than other Big Daddy editions. I immediately felt attracted by the pop of colors and the rainbow part of its name, so festive and cheerful. This mighty watch is for ‘the brave only’ as Diesel’s mantra suggests and with 4 times zones it may be the best companion for those traveling overseas during the holidays.
3. Tendence Crazy Chrono Purple: this crazy and sexy timepiece is one of the boldest, brightest watches ever created by Tendence. The irreverent color combination of pinks, purple, white and blue into one single watch simply demands attention and stands for originality. Although unisex, I find this model quite feminine since it has dazzling Swarovski® elements on the bezel. The crazy dual colored strap in silicon is the finishing touch of this whimsical creation.

There is an undeniable inclination towards color in my selection and the reason is simple: holidays is the time to be happy and celebrate! And for me, a pop of color goes a long way…stay tuned for Friday’s mood board with lots of inspiration and rarer, geekier and quirky watches! I’m sure you’ll make that distinctive person in your life very happy with one of these exceptional timepieces!

If there is a watch that has the word ‘Unique’ written all over it, than that is 01 The One. We at Masters in Time are proud to announce that we are now official dealer of 01 The One. 01 The One watches aren’t like any other watch, they have a whole different kind of time reading, the binary display. Instead of hands that tell the time, small LED lights are used, you can see here how it works. Every watch is packed in a cool tin can and manuals are included. The watches are available with different straps: leather, rubber and stainless steel, all watches are water resistant up to 30 meters. Here we show you some models from the series available.
