We're always a sucker for designer Philippe Starck's latest creations, and here's a couple of watches he adds to his Fossil collection that have a strange cantilevered look we haven't seen before. Check out those hands, placed on that hanging face at an odd angle, making them look positively peculiar. Well, what would you expect from Philippe S+arck, a guy who takes out the "t" in his last name and replaces it with a plus sign?
If you have really hairy arms, this see-through design might not look quite as clean as it does in these pictures, but maybe the chance to wear an object of such style and grace would be worth shaving off that gorilla hair, at least on your arm.
On the other hand (arm?), we hear these S+arck watches are more of the "just a pretty face" variety, because their innards are cheap as a dime store windup toy. But for some, appearances are everything. No pricing was announced, but Fossil says these models will show up on its website this fall. [Technabob]

I shave my gorilla hair for no one... NO ONE
That's just plain ugly ... sorry
The Starck watches use the same movements as any other mainstream watch brand at an affordable price point. Their not swiss but their not from Taiwan or China at least.
Anyways, the arm hair thing is the typical first DUMB response from people. Look at Starck's O-Ring watch. It's got a friggen' hole in the center and that thing gets a ton of press and posts. Can't be that big of a problem.
That thing is pretty sweet! I would pay a good amount for something like that. But, the way S+arck watches are usually priced, it probably won't be more than $175. I hope its out soon. I'll be at the store for it! I want to see what other colors there are.
