Cassette watch
It doesn’t transform or actually play music, but this watch with a face that looks like a cassette tape, is still pretty cool. One reel tells the hour, and the other tells the minute, and at about $75, it’s not killer expensive, so we can’t complain. Not sure if I would actually wear one of these, but it looks like a great collector’s item at very least.

A rule that the super-rich increasingly take to heart. Lest you thought rich people deserved respect, here’s a sample of what they’re spending their money on’. It includes, unsurprisingly, this garish Rolex Leopard print watch, which will set you back roughly the same amount as a ‘pretty good luxury car’. Cool! Let’s buy it.
