Watches are meant for keeping track of the time with precision, but while gazing at this state-of-the-art robot timepiece, you could lose all track of the time. This Vintage Tin Robot Concept Watch from Azimuth’s Hallmark Creation from the Mecha–1 BMF Collection will be equally sought after by watch-lovers and geeks, alike. Azimuth’s Mr Roboto is world’s first vintage tin robot concept of the 1950s. This whimsical creation is truly a collector’s item. The design of Mr Roboto was inspired by the Lantern Robot of the 1950s. The avantagarde design is complemented by user-friendly functions. “Mr Roboto’s visual appeal embodies the full-flavor revival of vintage tin robotic spaceman. The placements lend for easy reading and a radical tin robot visual appearance. The left ‘eye’ is the hour register, right ‘eye’ comes with GMT indication, the nose region joint with the mouth region are the seconds and retrograde minutes placements respectively.” Mr Roboto is powered by automatic winding movement and it features 25 jewels. The vintage watch is water resistant to 50 meters. The robust case is forged out of hardy steel blocks with a warm touch of bevelled edges at the sides. The watch will go on sale from September 2008 for approx. $4,800.
