But if the common consensus amongst collectors is that watches should be for the fun and enjoyment of wearing, I don\u2019t see how you could resist something like this. And before we jump in, I\u2019m going to make a point of saying that while they are revolutionary and legendary, watches like the Nautilus, Royal Oak and Golden Ellipse don\u2019t count for the purposes of this list.<br><br>What I\u2019m talking about today is couture, funky, and full-on fun. The watches I highlight may not all be to your taste, nor fall into your line of collecting, but hopefully they inspire you to take a risk and maybe, just maybe, have a little fun with an odd-shaped watch of your own.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-35202 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/KingMidas_3580_5D3_9786-2-Edit-copy.jpg\" alt=\"odd-shaped watch Rolex King Midas\" class=\"wp-image-35202\" title=\"odd-shaped watch Rolex King Midas\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/KingMidas_3580_5D3_9786-2-Edit-copy.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/KingMidas_3580_5D3_9786-2-Edit-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/KingMidas_3580_5D3_9786-2-Edit-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/KingMidas_3580_5D3_9786-2-Edit-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/KingMidas_3580_5D3_9786-2-Edit-copy-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Cartier Crash<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-35559 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/yellow-gold-cartier-crash-watch-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cartier Crash\" class=\"wp-image-63564\" title=\"odd-shaped watch Cartier Crash\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/yellow-gold-cartier-crash-watch-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/yellow-gold-cartier-crash-watch-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/yellow-gold-cartier-crash-watch-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/yellow-gold-cartier-crash-watch-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/yellow-gold-cartier-crash-watch.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the story goes, a Cartier vice president was wearing an elliptically-shaped watch when he was killed in a fiery automobile accident, and the melted gold watch plucked from the wreckage served as the inspiration for the Salvador Dali-esque Cartier Crash, which first made an appearance around 1967. Cartier even reinvented it &#8211; most recently at SIHH 2018 with the release of the Cartier Crash Radieuse, which is an elegant and artistic take on the original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/cartier\/crash-1.html\">Cartier Crash<\/a> from the 60s.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Richard Mille RM 70-01<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-35567 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-08-at-4.37.34-PM-1-copy.jpg\" alt=\"odd-shaped watch Richard Mille RM 70-01\" class=\"wp-image-35567\" title=\"odd-shaped watch Richard Mille RM 70-01\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-08-at-4.37.34-PM-1-copy.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-08-at-4.37.34-PM-1-copy-286x300.jpg 286w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-08-at-4.37.34-PM-1-copy-362x380.jpg 362w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An odd-shaped watch due to function rather than aesthetics, the RM 70-01 was designed to better conform to a cyclist&#8217;s wrist.

Constantly thrusting bold colors, mechanical ingenuity, cooky creativity, and odd shapes into the mainstream, their watches push the boundaries of watchmaking. Over the years they\u2019ve done some interesting things, but from their recent collection, the wonky tonneau-shaped RM 70-01 has to be noted. It was inspired by Formula One champ and cyclist Alain Prost, the shape itself bends inward on the outside, to better conform to the wrist of the wearer. The shape is certainly odd but almost subtle, the sportiness of it really taking the surprising edge off the unusual but purposeful shape.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Hamilton Ventura<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-35562 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"413\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/h24411732-copy.jpg\" alt=\"odd-shaped watch Hamilton Ventura\" class=\"wp-image-35562\" title=\"odd-shaped watch Hamilton Ventura\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/h24411732-copy.jpg 413w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/h24411732-copy-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/h24411732-copy-249x380.jpg 249w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Hamilton Ventura embraces a highly unusual and immediately identifiable case shape.

However, what appeals to me about this watch is that while it became iconic and collectable in its own right, it never went mainstream. For that reason alone, I think something as funky and asymmetrical as the Hamilton Ventura had to make the list. Today you can collect both vintage pieces and modern renditions. Plus, the contemporary pieces clock in at pretty reasonable prices and in a variety of designs (including some with automatic movements), meaning that you can probably find a way to squeeze one into your own collection.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watches are supposed to be fun.
