Click Dip-Switch Watch

Click Dip-Switch Watch

We spent numerous hours of the 1980s in our local arcades, pumping quarters into our favorite machines. These days, if we want to relive our childhoods, we have to go to PAX (or PAX East) to hang in the classic arcade room. Unfortunately, turning a room of our house into a dank, sticky-floored, blinky-lighted sanctum of gaming is out of the question for both reasons of money and housemate relations.

The Click Dip Switch Watch allows us to embrace the glory days of arcade gaming and have it embrace us... on the wrist. The dip switch was used in arcade games to store settings back in the days before RAM. We love the ingenious way dip switches are used to show the functions of this digital watch. Each dip switch activates a different function of the watch, from bar graph metered time display, 12 hour and 24 hour digital time display, month, date, day of week, and backlight. The strap even looks like electronic ribbon and it comes packaged in an actual circuit board.
