Icon Wrist Watch

You can always be sure that, the moment we come across a wrist watch that offers particularly innovative design, we’ll feature it here on TFTS, and few wrist watches come quite as distinctive as this Icon Wrist Watch that pays homage to the blocky 8-bit graphics from classic retro console games such as Space Invaders and the original Mario series.

Icon Wrist Watch Detail

Manufactured from ABS, the Icon Watch offers a watch face devoid of numbers which would have otherwise undoubtedly ruined the overall effect and, in keeping with its deliciously retro appearance, you can forget about additional features such as date display and stopwatch functionality as this watch merely tells the time – pure and simple (and we wouldn’t want it any other way).

The ultimate accessory for retro gamers or those looking for a classy retro look, the Icon Watch retails for 77000 South Korean Won (which equates to around $82 / €56 / £42 at the time of writing).

    I think it looks very very much like like the Mac OS9 ‘busy’ watch cursor.

    Hey, I’d love to see the index page of your site, but unlike 90% of the rest of the web, you have no links to it that I can find… Link your logo back to the base directory, please!

    There is a ‘Home’ link in the navigation menu, and the header did always link back to the index page right up until later last night when I was cleaning up some code and appear to have inadvertently taken away that functionality without noticing.

    Thanks for the heads up, the issue is now fixed.

    You have also, of course, shown me that the navigation menu is obviously all too easy to miss and is obviously something I need to look into.

    Double thanks as in order, then, it seems.
