Ugliest watches at Baselworld

Here is a list of the the ugliest watches at Baselworld. From Rolex to an Arnold Schwarzenegger watch, have a look at them all.

Blancpain L-evolution

Technically speaking, the movement is exciting, with two types of rotating escapements packed in side-by-side. But the brushed platinum case feels blobby and unrefined, and the movement finishing, hands, and luminous numerals feel like something out of a failed Michael Bay movie.The best thing about this watch is that only 50 will be made. Oh, also it costs $373,130.

Rolex Datejust Pearlmaster 39

This watch takes everything great about Rolex--understatement, tool-watch credibility, versatility and throws it out the window.

Sure, it's still built like a tank, and crafting colours to match those gem stones is harder than it looks, but please check yourself before asking your Rolex dealer to let you try this one on. Pass on all three colour variations. Price is on request, but don't even bother asking

Jaquet Droz Bird Repeater Geneva

This one throws craftsmanship, tradition and dy ing arts out the window. Jaquet Droz specialises in automata and repeaters, but this execution feels like a copy of something from a museum instead of a wearable timepiece for 2015. Also watching tiny enamel birds feed one another isn't the most appealing thing one can do with half a million dollars. Cost is 500,000 Swiss francs (about $520,000).

Ulysse Nardin Erotica Hour

Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like. And yes, those figures do exactly what you think they do when you press the pushers. It's really hard to have any reaction to this watch other than "Seriously?!" It's crass, it's tacky. There's actually a long tradition of erotic automata and watches, but some traditions die out for a reason. This should probably be one of those.Price given upon request.



Schwarzenegger Hero Terminator

It's a wonder Arnold Schwarzenegger finds the space to include "body builder, actor, governor, and watch designer" all on his business card. You would think the seasoned collector of watches could come up with better designs than Terminator skulls and barbell motifs, but apparently not.

Arnold should probably stick to workout tapes. Prices range from $565 to $2,790.
