My new favorite toy - Icon Watch

The Icon Watch

1EF932C5-DD58-49C5-B6F2-48CEB35B2704.jpgThe Icon Watch was designed back in 2005 although it appears to have just become available for purchase. It is shaped like a computer icon in pixelated form, has an ABS and stainless steel body with a polyurethane band. There is nothing too technical about this watch as it just tells the time and that’s all.

The Icon Watch costs a hefty $75 ($67.50 if you are a member of MoMA)
