If you’re one who relies on fortune telling to pass your days, you’d love to have a watch that can tell you the hours ahead are good or bad. Swiss watchmaker Borgeaud has now teamed up with Indian fortune tellers, have created a watch that is claimed to be able to predict the future.
The Borgeaud watch automatically displays a daily 90-minute period called the Raju Kaal, which is believed to be the worst time to make important decisions or start new projects. The watch face has a bedpan-shaped section, which will turn brown when the worst time is about to strike and turn back to its normal color when the Raju Kaal is over and “dark astral forces” have left the area.
The watch maker claims this watch is useful to warn anyone when misfortune is about to strike. The company will be producing only limited number of these fortune telling watches – there will be 500 for women and 150 for men and each will cost £1,500 or USD $2,000 each. The company seems to be hinting women will have higher chance to get bad days to strike.

Hi,
May i request you to kindly put away this article as our product is out now in a new form. The same can be referred from our website.
After the Tourbillon Minute Repeater or the Septagraph Perpetual is a new complication mother signed Borgeaud Watches Switzerland.
Using a retrograde dye disc a “reserve indicator temporal” arrow-shaped dial set on a multi-dimensional, through a meter located between the index 7 and 8, this timepiece celebrates 3,000 years of astronomical observations through 450 years of Swiss watchmaking expertise. While in this exclusive timepiece is Swiss, from design to the box, leather bracelets provider ice, passing through each course component class BRG 11,501. The principle of Perpetual Septagraph is returned to its owner-an insider certainly 1:30 every day, but not consecutively. A parenthesis it will use to grow its interiority and take care of his personal focus. One of the most supreme luxury, given the headlong rush of modern times, shelter, or an observation post, located in the eye of the storm time. This is a poetry majusculaire, it borders on Borgeaud code and endless research graalistiques. Is this useful? In all cases, a trip to Asia will convince you, so compliance with that portion dedicated to the days of the week is still alive. It’s about the lifestyle … time. especially as the system is highly complex carrying two major symbolic, the figures 7 and 8. Furthermore, a study produced by the Swatch Group, the purchaser of a chronograph complication does its modest average 6mn that the first year. To be continued, therefore, near the Watch Gallery (Stand 25 – where journalists toast the opening of the show) from March 17 to 25 next at BaselWorld 2010. The Fleurisan Marc Aeschacher weaves a bridge between the art of watchmaking since Valleys, near the trail, the name Borgeaud is intrinsically linked to the history of thought.
