My favorite useless watch is the H. Moser & Cie Swiss Alp Minute Repeater Concept Black.
HM&C took their Swiss Alp, a square watch with a tourbillion and minute repeater, and removed the hands. The only way to tell the time is with the minute repeater.

(A tourbillion claims to increase the accuracy of a mechanical watch by compensating for gravity's pull in the mechanism. A minute repeater is a bell which rings to indicate the current hour and quarter-hour so you can tell the time in the dark before electricity was invented.)
Yes, this is a joke watch, making fun of both the Apple Watch and the luxury watch industry.
