I know they don't have the cachet of mechanical watches, but I'm sure there must be some pretty cool quartz watches out there that are interesting in their own right. Creative design. Useful. Beautiful. Classy looking or whimsical. Macho or understated or crazy or .... cool.


Forget about cost. What are the best and most interestingly designed quartz watches out there? A neophyte would love to know.


Pics welcomed.

As I stated in an earlier post...imo "cool quartz watches" is an oxymoron. ... having said that there is a vintage IWC Flierger Pilot Chronograph Model #3741. What I really like about this watch is:
A. Its size is 37mm or 38mm (l'm off/done with big watches)
B.The movement was produced by Jeager le Coultre. While the primary movement (itself) is quartz the chronograph portion of the movement is mechanical with over 230 hand made 'mechanical' pieces. So...in this case (no pun intended) you have the benefit of quartz accuracy coupled with a complcated hand made movement and a thorough pedigree from two highly respected Manufactures.

Piaget has some very nice ultra thin quartz models. One of the few producers of nicely decorated quartz movements, as well.
