The nice people at Azimuth were kind enough to share this with me this morning. This is the Azimuth Mr. Roboto. I know that this watch has been reviewed to death by the watch fans out there, but yet and still, it speaks to me. I got to see it up close and in person at Azimuth's booth at Baselworld 2009, and I must say that just as much as the watch itself, the packaging really blew me away. In a time where a high end watch package must be pear-wood, leather, etc. - Azimuth went the other way, and reinforced the spirit of fun in this watch with a package reminiscent of a 1950's robot toy. I am a sucker for the atomic age, and this watch really does harken back to that time.
Azimuth also has the Chrono Gauge Mecha - this is one example. And to my mind, another great point is that Azimuth is sold by Partita in San Francisco. Calvin and his team are friendly, knowledgeable and super-nice people to deal with!
