I like it. It so reminds me of some of the early 70's spaceman watches. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3278/2574519356_97e3b91a8c.jpg?v=0

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Conversely, that's what turns me off about it!

Disregarding the shape of it, the colour scheme for the dials and numerals is extremely 70's. While it looks like a fascinating movement, and I love the manufacture of the second indication, overall I dislike how it presents itself. It's narrow, and apertures are unsuitable in my opinion. When I saw the first pictures of that second wheel, I envisioned it floating over the top face of the watch, which would have been beautiful.
