Fortis IQ Art Edition LE automatic watch for the REAL nerds

Fortis IQ Art Edition LE automatic watch for the REAL nerds

Selling at a recommended price of just $38.72983352, the new Fortis IQ Art Edition LE automatic watch designed by an architect and a business tycoon Rolf Sachs, the man standing behind the Fortis B-42 one-handed time keeping instrument and lots of other pieces of art.


Surprisingly, while most of his chairs, lamps and mail boxes are not particularly usable, this masterpiece will definitely serve its purpose, even if you had an average “F” in math.

Being the real nerd’s watch, the Fortis IQ’s black leather strap looks rather cheap (at least, for the asked price of √22500*10) and its PVD coated 40mm case would be an ideal choice for a pilot’s watch. Its main point of interest is the dark-green dial looking like a school chalkboard used and abused by a not so brilliant student. Although the numerals are stylized to look like chalk marks, they are actually printed with some luminous stuff so that you won’t have a hard time doing your math even in darkness.

Only 999 Fortis IQ Art Edition LE will be sold.
