As the saying goes, “There’s an ass for every seat.”
While this is very true, I still find it so hard to believe that some watch designs are ever even considered, much less actually produced and ultimately purchased. In fairness, the following list may not actually contain the five ugliest watches ever, but they sure aren’t easy on the eyes.
While I might not win any fans from the brands whose watches I’ve nominated for this list, or those who’ve designed or purchased one of these works of horror-logical creativity, I would still like to have some fun at their expense.
#5 Krieger Skeleton Skeleton
The Krieger Skeleton Skeleton is ugly inside and out.
There’s a complete lack of fine finishing on the limited amount of plates and bridges, while a mangled skull hovers over the barrel with two rubies for eyes.

I’m not going to say what the crown looks like to me – and I’m sure you can figure it out – but it isn’t as pretty as what comes to mind.
To add insult to injury, Krieger not only produced and tried to sell this watch, but continued to forge ahead by creating an incredibly creepy advertisement for it. Seriously: guyliner?
I imagine this dude listening to Goth music and doing some heavy drugs while watching a Saw marathon.
#4 Azimuth Roulette
Charlie: Hi, I’m Charlie and I have a gambling problem.
Azimuth: Hi, Charlie, we’re the Azimuth Watch Company and, boy, do we have the watch for you!
Azimuth Roulette
We took a big block of metal and put a really small roulette table on it that actually works. You activate the ball using the oversized dice cube that doubles as a crown.
By buying this watch, you and your buddies can lose money to each other all day long.
