Ventura Watches

Ever seen one of these before? The first time I spotted one was on the wrist of Nicolas Cage in the film Bangkok Dangerous where he played a high-class assassin. I immediately looked it up and found out that it was a V-Tec Sigma model. Besides the unusual shape, the feature that was immediately obvious was the rotor which is visible through the clear pane at the top of the watch, meaning that, although having a digital display, the watch is powered by a mechanical movement. The rolling scroll bar on the right hand side allows the user to scroll through features on screen.

The following video explains the details behind the design. If like me you fancy owning one, you'll be disappointed to learn that prices are around £3000 - £4000.
