Star Wars x Marc Ecko Concept Watches

Posted the 20th day of October in 2009 by Riley.

Marc Ecko has posted some computer generated images of his new Star Wars concept watches.

He says:

These are some teasers of my new watch collection. The range is inspired by Star Wars. A mixture of metals, rubbers and nylons. My amazing partners at Timex- completely rocked these. Yes…they feature "indiglo"…sounds…and other technologies. From Boba to R2…Stormtroopers to Vader…

It's yet to be seen if these will become a reality. And if they do it's not certain how they would work and look exactly. If you like the look and/or Star Wars then maybe you have something to look forward to.

Watch Repair In Space

Posted the 17th day of October in 2009 by Riley.

Here's a video of what it's like to repair a watch with no gravity. An astronaut's watch fell apart while orbiting earth. And like any good engineer he decided to disassemble it right then and fix there in space. This watch looks to be an Omega analog/digital model.



Thanks Ivan.
