Aiming to shock and be provacative, artful Swiss watch maker of (only) unique timepieces has made a few watches for Halloween. A few of them contain actual spiders in the dials. Not living spiders, but eerie enough. The typical look of Artya's "tortured" watch cases add to the fearfulness of these watches. Artya prefers "defacing" its cases with electro shocks. You can see the large spider body on the dial. The brand chose thin hands for the dial that are reminiscent of arachnid legs. The decomposing organic look of the watch adds to the holiday creepiness factor. Plus, the strap is made from toad skin. Case is steel (about 45mm wide I think), and inside is a Swiss automatic movement.

In addition to this Halloween Spider watch, the brand also has a few other piece uniques for the Halloween holiday includes some with dials featuring scary skulls, and screaming faces. Priced at 3,900 Swiss Francs.

Ariel Adams you should be ashamed of yourself. Edit your work. You're either lazy or uneducated and you shouldn't be writing articles with typographical errors if you expect readers to be interested. In addition, if you aren't certain about something, don't comment on it. You commented twice in this article without knowing what you were talking about: "Case is steel (about 45 mm wide I think)" and "Prices are in the 7,000 Swiss Franc range I believe." We readers don't care what you think or believe, just write the article based on facts.

Oh, great...another picayune issue for those PETA hippies to mobilize against.

I like it.

That's cruel. Spiders are useful bugs that take out other nasty bugs like mosquitoes and nats and germ-spreading flies.

That looks like a Brown Recluse.

that's real mean, poor spiders, always getting beat up. who knows, maybe that was a spider that could have eliminated a mosquito that carried west nile or equine encephalitis (which has been popping up here in Michigan because of those evil little flying beasts). and that watch isn't worth that amount of money. and a toad skin band...again, that's just mean. the world's amphibians are on the way out much like the world's honey bees.
