Ernest Borel Cocktail Watch

December 18, 2008

My newest watch obsession is this Ernest Borel Cocktail watch which was manufactured in the 1960’s.  The watch features two semi-transparent disks that when wound, rotate in opposite directions to create a dizzying kaleidoscope effect.  I also love the lugs, red hands, and the see-through case.
