Gamma Centerpoint Scale
True confession: I bought this scale years ago, the first time I saw a picture of it in a catalog.
I mean, look at it.
Guess what: it's even more stylish in person.
And built: this baby is heavy metal and thick tempered glass.
"Strain gauge technology and a load cell calibrated for off–center loading."
"Accomodates for vibration, out-of–level conditions and other interference."
Extra–large 1"–high LCD readout displays weight measured to 0.1 lb.
Yes, it's accurate and all but who really cares?
I haven't used mine in years but I still like the way it looks.
There's something to be said for things whose surface allure continues to appeal after the passage of time.
$76.80 here.
Made by Soehnle, a German company which also manufactures my trusty postage scale (below).
It costs $29.99 here.
Very, very accurate.
Just because it's advertised as a food scale for the kitchen doesn't mean you have to use it that way.

I have the same round scale and love it... unlike most other scales that you want to hide in a closet.
