Don't get too excited though ... they only plan to make THREE of the
watches and the price is US$165,000 each!! :-O
Plus, it's really just a normal mechanical wristwatch in an impractical
bulky case.
The Star Trek Communicator Is Now a High-End Wristwatch
-------------------------------------------------------
This luxury Swiss watch brand has gone where no one has
gone before. Unfortunately, the price is out of this
world too.
Clearly channeling none other than Captain Kirk, the
high-end Swiss brand has turned Star Trek's iconic
Communicator into a full-on luxury wristwatch - and we're
very much here for it. Fans of the '60s sci-fi series
will be delighted to recognize the characteristic cover
and perforated grille, which, oh yes, flips up to reveal
the watch workings underneath. However, despite the
light-hearted design cues, those workings very much lean
into serious horology.
