8-bit Icon Watch
Remember that aggravating little pixeled watch icon that used to take over your mouse cursor whenever your classic Apple Macintosh computer was ‘taking time’ to finish a task? A wristwatch to show your computer is calculating always seemed like a fairly clumsy metaphor — almost as clumsy as the sand clock icon from MS Windows — but once it was replaced by the vector animated rainbow warp, people immediately missed it. Luckily for all you pixel-nostalgics out there, there now is a wrist clock for 8-bit retro time telling. For sale only in Korea.
