Holy crap! This is probably the most insane (ugly?) watch I have ever seen. Built as Haute Horologie, the Hysek Colosso watch is truly a sight to behold. Whether you think it is beauty or beast, it certainly stands out in the crowd. I personally would not be caught dead with this thing on my wrist.
Jorg Hysek, of the company’s namesake, has been designing watches for almost 30 years, designing watches for Rolex and Vacheron Constantin, among others. His watches command a premium and this one is no exception. The colosso will cost you $550,000.
