3. Paper watch
It’s difficult coming up with new design features for watches, they’ve been around for a while you see. Our mate Darren has one that’s waterproof to 100m, and there’s one in the Argos catalogue that you can have your name lasered onto. Based on this we decided it was best to cut out all the gimmicks, and leave the designing part up to you!
Paper Watch is a blank canvas, a plain watch made from tear-resistant paper-style material with a built-in digital watch.
It can be whatever you want it to be, style it yourself with biros, marker pens, paint, stencils or anything else you can find to express yourself! Even better, adorn it with doodles and give to a friend to wear! What better way to make sure that person who’s always late is never late, than with a custom-made watch to remind them of your plans! It isn’t waterproof to 100m, and you can’t point a laser beam at it, but it does come with an adjustable strap, long-life battery, and infinite possibilities.
