If you gotta ask, you can't afford it!
In the Wall Street Journal today:
"... presented to the press the Alfa Romeo Contagiri, a timepiece inspired by the rev counter of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA..."
An interesting watch, the hour hand springs back counterclockwise every twelve hours. Link below shows it in action, available in 2008, reserve now 
Contagiri watch the new wrist watch introduced by Giuliano Mazzuoli |

That is so cool. Love to own one just to confuse people about how it works.

How much?
bs
Brian:
No clue, none of the links I found quoted a price, but it's only offered thru the very high end retailers, advertised in the Wall Street Journal, so...
That's why I said "If you gotta ask...."
Hope your first storms aren't too bad

 Or at least as reliable as the borg clocks. lol
Nice but just like a few of my fathers old Omega watchs, constantly being fixed.
Probably will suffer from a mechanical spring tensioner problem that will eat all the gears?
