Unusual and Rare Retro Tressa Automatic - AS 2066

I bought this watch almost 10 years ago and I consider the design of this watch is the maddest and yet beautiful in a somewhat kitsch way. Gold and black and silver colour from the steel case creates a combination not often seen. Although I must admit not everyone who have seen the watch shares the same enthusiasm... but I like it!

Funky, retro and futuristic Tressa Laser Beam Automatic - AS 2066

We have here a super funky watch by a relatively small watch company named Tressa. They were not the biggest but in my mind certainly the boldest and brave enough to put some eccentric designs into production.

Both retro and futuristic in todays eyes, the watch doesn't look out-dated and in my mind it is much more tasteful comparing to the new modern retro look-a-likes which somehow plasticky and souless. Have a look and judge it by yourself.
