Whoa, what? How did this make it on Discovery Channel. It's the WUS Rattrapante Project.

edit: for anyone curious, it's being worn by Sean Carroll of Caltech.

Damnit! It was worn by Sean Carroll, Caltech, Theoretical Physics. They show it a number of times. I wonder if it's his.

Anyway, I was hoping it might be something I could grab for myself. Any idea on whether they remake it?

I'm sure it's his -- he used to write about watches for Discover Magazine. Clearly a WIS.

They won't remake it -- it was only made because the manufacturer got a batch of very inexpensive movements after another brand failed. Only 75 were made, and I doubt you'll see them come up on the secondary market much at all.
