With the Lunar New Year this week, its not surprising to see quite a number of products trying to capitalize on the celebration. Snake-themed designs have been quite trendy the past few days, though some come in forms you least expected. Who would have thought that the reptile would slither on our wrists in ways that are both luxurious and nostalgic?There is, for example, this rather elaborate luxury watch that has a golden snake wrapping around the tourbillon. Although just as premium and stylish, this limited edition watch, designed just for the Year of the Snake, puts a different twist on that theme. Rather than some generic snake, The Twelve Snake reminds us of one of the most addictive mobile games that ever landed on phones, though thankfully not in a form that could have you lose time instead of tracking it.Designers: x Romaric (seconde/seconde/)Even in the 90s, mobile phones were already becoming more than just communication devices. Thats because even in the 90s, people would often find themselves with long pockets of idle time, whether waiting in line or stuck in traffic. Despite the simplicity of the graphics and controls, the Snake game on Nokia phones brought countless hours of mindless fun, mashing those two or four keys to make sure that your ever-growing snake doesnt go hungry and eat itself.This attention-grabbing 40mm watch brings back memories of those days by imprinting that pixelated snake on your wrist. The bright Venom Green dial and its woven pattern mimic the low-res screens of the old Nokia phones on which the game found its notoriety. The black snake slithers around the clock like the 90s, trying to take a bit out of the Christopher Ward twin-flags logo. Thankfully, this isnt some smartwatch that will let you play the game at the expense of your productivity and eyesight.There are other literally small details that add even more elements of fun to the watch. A false date window at the 7:30 position cycles through six different treats at random times throughout the month. Although definitely Swiss-made, the watchs text says HISS MADE instead, along with two red bite marks at 6 oclock to prove it. Flipping the watch over reveals a green sovereign with the words CHEERS TO THE SNAKE YEAR(S) printed on it. There you will also find yet another snake circling its way around the perimeter.The Twelve Snake isnt just all looks, of course, with a Sellita SW200-1 Automatic movement powering its intricate mechanism. The 26-jewel movement boasts a 38-hour power reserve, longer than the life of an old-school Nokia phone. As expected, such a special watch has quite an exquisite price tag attached to it to the tune of $1,225. Unfortunately, the window of opportunity to grab this nostalgia trip is closing fast, As the pre-order ends on February 12th.The post The Twelve Snake limited edition watch lets you reminisce the simple joys of the 90s first appeared on Yanko Design.
