Azimuth Crazy RidervsLinde Werdelin Spidolite Tech Gold

The Azimuth Crazy Rider is a conversation-starting watch inspired by motorcycles, featuring a literal rotating bike chain on the dial that carries the 24-hour hand. Its design sacrifices minute legibility, with an incomplete minute scale between 35 and 55. The massive 55mm case and 30m water resistance limit it to casual wear. On balance, the Azimuth Crazy Rider appeals to those seeking unusual, avant-garde designs, though its CHF 5,250 price point is considered high.

The Linde Werdelin Spidolite Tech Gold is lauded for its exceptionally lightweight feel, attributed to its skeletonized forged carbon case, making it comfortable for everyday wear. Reviewers highlight its avant-garde, modern case design and the striking aesthetic created by the combination of black carbon, gold, and red accents. The carved 18kt gold bezel is noted for balancing the lightness and adding a touch of luxury. However, readability is a concern in low-light conditions due to small luminous elements on the hands and hour markers. The CHF 17,000 price and tang buckle are mentioned as drawbacks. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Linde Werdelin Spidolite Tech Gold a conversation-starting, satisfying, and easy-to-wear everyday watch for collectors seeking something uncommon and super cool.
