Icon Watch: Unboxing

Not usually a watch person, but my Subaru Share the Love

awareness bracelet was looking a little long in the tooth. I

had been searching the MoMA store for some time and this

particular watch grabbed my attention unlike any watch before.

It's called the Icon watch by "& Design". It is essentially a

recreation of the watch icon cursor from early versions of

the Mac OS which touches on all levels of my nerdness.

It's also happened to be the cheapest watch in the MoMa

store. So, I bought one and decided to do an unboxing for

you guys. Quite comedically (and rather disconcerting),

when I opened the box, the watch was broken. The minute

hand had come detached from the watch and was floating

around in the face. Another trip down to the MoMA store

on 53rd, and I had gotten a fully functioning watch.

Enjoy my nostalgic geekdom.
