Diesel Spawns a Two-Faced Freak of Nature Watch

via Gizmodo by Mark Wilson on 5/26/09

Apparently, half a watch plus half a watch equals one ugly watch.

The Diesel DZ4160 "Freak of Nature" watch combines a steel-strapped, oval case watch with a leather-strapped, square case watch. The result is a metal/animal skin hybrid that's not quite as stylish as either elite substance is on its own. Then again, Frankenstein's monster was no looker, except maybe when he starred in Raging Bull. [Watchismo via boingboing]

Diesel watch looks blank, BUT...

via�DVICE�by CharlieWhite on 5/12/09

What's this,�another�unreadable�TokyoFlash watch? No, this Diesel DZ9044 appears faceless to innocent bystanders, but for the initiated, a furtive peek at the side reveals dual faces for multiple time zones. A look at the opposite edge reveals two more clock faces, for a total of four.

Besides its unusual quartet of clocks letting you keep track of four places at once, this timepiece might be especially handy when you want to secretly glance at the time without anyone detecting your impatience. The stainless steel wristwatch is available in either black or silver, yours for $365.
