Cassette-face watch tells time like a boom box

I absolutely dig the spinning chronological reels of this £35 Casette Face watch. It just needs a small cache for MP3s to be absolutely perfect, though I'd settle for a transformation into Laserbeak.

Really neat. That entire site has some nice watches; I've been looking for unique styles priced less than at TokyoFlash.

Thanks, Mister Brownlee!

Affordable and readable by humans. I bet that Cory would hate it.

@2 Cryptonimicon was everything I could ever ask for in a book.

Also, the name you are looking for is Ravage.

Just bought one, because I am a consumer whore. Now we'll see how long the International Shipping takes.

There ought to be an alarm that sounds like tape being fast-fwded. If there was a wall-mounted boombox-style clock the cuckoo contraption might be unspooled tape popping in and out.

Nice, but I'd prefer one with a non-metallic band. Those linked-steel ones always seem to wrench the hairs roots and all right out my arm like some sort of Epilady torture device. Good way to stay awake in meetings, though.

Recieved mine yesterday. Cool as!
Ordered Friday, arrived tuesday (im in the UK).
The strap is brushed aluminium.

Fairly chunky (and I dont like chunky watches), but suprisingly dont feel bad at all.

And yeah - the font could be no other style ;)
