To prevent this from becoming the 8th thread about the TC II, I'll try a serious answer :wink: :

Watch designers, great topic. It's all about design for me.
When I like a design, I want the watch, no matter what features it lacks (hours and minutes is enough). When I don't like the design, I don't want it, no matter how high the quality or impressive the feature list may be. For features (stopwatch, alarm, ...), I have a mobile phone, it's always in my pocket - call it a pocket watch with phone function :wink:.
I like watches with clean design. "Colors" black, stainless, chrome, blue perhaps. No gold. No (visible) plastic parts. No round shapes/circles (the reason why the TC II [oops :oops:] doesn't appeal to me is the round shape of the crystal).

Ok, so who designed my watch(es) (AFAIK them):
Hannes Wettstein (Ventura d_SPARC px steel W11S)
Flemming Bo Hansen (Rosendahl Watch II 43103)
Philippe Starck (Fossil PH1002 and PH1065; probably adding a PH1077 soon - though they are plastic, but very well made)
Yves Behar (Mini motion watch)
Matthew Waldman (Nooka Zoo, Seiko Nooka STN001, STN003, STN005)
frog design (the Junghans Mega 1 026/001x range)
Michael Young (PXR-5)
Acevedo Fernando (Thix, can't remember the model number)
majestyk (soon, I hope)
