Science have been always of interest to mankind. Even as a child, we are constantly amazed by how matters can change its state, or how chemical reactions occur with a concoction. And the interest in science fiction stem directly from an extension of of science and creativity. With this in mind, we look at recommendations for a Sci-fi theme watch.
This fascination is not strangers to the world of horology. Highly-creative manufacturers, such as MB&F or URWERK, are known to produces watches that makes one wonder if it was taken straight out from the future. They are conversational, and they do add an interesting dimension to any watch collection.
There are definitely many watches that can be considered in today’s selection. It will be very subjective – considering how difficult will be to reach a consensus for such a controversial theme. But nonetheless, we feel that this is going to quite interesting. So, what are some of the hits, in our opinion? Let’s find out!

The Devon Works Tread 1. A forgotten timepiece, but an interesting one nonetheless.
We begin the article with an interesting but perhaps forgotten timepiece: the Devon Works Tread 1.
When the Tread 1 was first introduced in 2010, it certainly caught everyone by surprise. Never mind that it is a battery-operated timepiece; the Tread 1 was such a cool-looking timepiece that many people want to get their hands on one. The chunky timepiece was heavily inspired by industrialism and the steampunk movement, in which it is accentuated by the use of belts and steel in the design.
Driven by a series of motors and belts, the Tread 1 is a stunning sight to behold. It works similarly like a quartz watch, with the seconds belt “ticking” once every second. Additionally, whenever the belts move, it will produce a whizzing sound – which either gives a nice touch to this timepiece, or irritates the heck out of one. Mileage may differ.
Priced at US$ 15,000 (approximately S$ 20,476), the Devon Tread 1 is not inexpensive. However, this is a cool timepiece, and we highly recommend this to someone who is looking for an unusual timepiece.

The Romain Jerome Spacecraft – Batman, on the wrist.
In recent times, Romain Jerome has been known to produce interesting timepieces that play with our childhood memories. Games, such as Pacman, Pokemon, and Donkey Kong, and most recently Hello Kitty! certainly hold a special place in our hearts.
Besides those watches, another piece that caught our eyes was the Spacecraft. Launched in 2013, the Spacecraft certainly took a leaf out of the 1970s. Featuring a futuristic design, the watch is also intriguing in its complication. The timepiece combines four different complication: lateral and linear time display, jumping hours, and retrograde indicator. The end result is rather spectacular.
More recently, the brand launched a new variant of the Spacecraft. Termed the Batman, the watch is produced in collaboration between Romain Jerome and Warner Brothers (on behalf of DC Entertainment). The main difference for this piece would […]
