Devon Works recently announced the Tread 1 Steampunk, a limited edition version of the Tread 1, which was the original, electronic, belt display watch. Reminiscent of Vianney Halter, the steampunk watchmaking pioneer, the Tread 1 Steampunk is clad in rivetted bronze plates. The time belts are dark brown with ivory numerals to complete the vintage look. 

150 will be made and deliveries begin in November 2012. The retail price is US$25,000 (compared to $15,000 for the original Tread 1). For those who want something similar at a lower price, the Tread 2 is an alternative.
