Star Trek inspired Warp HMS Automatic Swiss Luxury Watch

Jul 20 2008, 11:00am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

The AK Geneve HMS Automatic Warp is inspired in many ways by Star Trek. Designer Arny Kapshitzer is indeed a huge Star Trek fan, which is clearly reflected in the watch design and in the name of the watch: Warp HMS Automatic.

The unique case design uses a total of 34 screws and combined with the complicated cut glass already hints at sophisticated watch making.
Located eccentrically towards the right of the dial, a cut-away metal piece reveals the jumping hours and minutes on two superimposed discs. The seconds are displayed at 3 o'clock on a cylinder linked directly to the crown. 9 o'clock forms the tail of the spaceship.
AK Geneve is currently manufacturing the watch and the first pieces will be delivered in November.
