No, you've not read that title wrong. I haven't added an extra couple of zeros on there by accident. This is the Krayon PAC-MAN Anywhere Limited Edition watch, and it could be one of the most luxurious gaming timepieces that I've ever seen.
Though for that price, you wouldn't really expect anything else.
I've been covering lots of PAC-MAN 45th Anniversary items being made to celebrate the iconic dot-muncher's career, but Krayon's Rémi Maillat and Fei Hou have topped them all with a limited run of 15 PAC-MAN watches based on their Anywhere watch, the timepiece 'where time marks our relationship with Earth.'
The Anywhere watch is a true work of art. It shows you the length of the day, sunrise and sunset times, and reconnects the wearer to 'the primeval rhythms of nature.' Though in this case, it reconnects the wearer to the sounds and smells of the arcade hall and trying to beat your friends' high scores.
Instead of a sun going round the dial for the hour of the day, there's PAC-MAN. You'll also get the same calendar function from the Anywhere watch, but the main difference is that there are maze-like walls from the arcade game on the face and other characters/items from the game to give it an even bigger retro feel.
An edible ghost, i.e a ghost that's turned blue once you've eaten some fruit, will let you know when midnight comes around. The ghost and fruit combination you get will be random, with each watch being different from the others in the list. Whichever coloured ghost you end up with will mark sunrise, however, so be sure to thank Blinky, Pinky, Inky, or Clyde every time you get out into nature with a cup of coffee to watch the sun come up.
For the watch lovers amongst you, the Krayon PAC-MAN watch has a Calibre C030 display, manual winding, and a 72-hour power reserve. There are a whopping 432 components inside it that work the day and night indicators alone, with Krayon setting yours up depending on where you live for you before sending it off. It comes with a platinum protective case and is priced at CHF 188,000, which works out at around £178,400/$237,758.
