Weather apps, shmeather apps: leave the smartphone in your pocket. You're going to have watch envy when you see what's being claimed as the world's first mechanical wristwatch that can measure pressure and altitude.
Though high-tech smart watches are all the rage these days, the Breva Génie 01 features a mechanical barometer and altimeter, as explained in the video above. So not only can you tell the time with style, you can forecast the weather.
The mechanical watch's proprietary pressure chamber measures altitude and local pressure with specialized meters for each. The Génie 01 is water-resistant up to about 100 feet (30 meters).
There will only be 110 of these watches produced: 55 in white gold and 55 in pink gold.

With this weather station watch, you could play weather guy/gal at the next dinner party you go to. But at a price point of $158,000, you could probably just go get a meteorology degree â€" multiple times.
Drooling yet? In addition to the video above, watch this one that woos you via a journey through the mechanical watch's components.
