Shipment rolls out in April but the collection is limited to only 30 pieces

Design company Andoandoando takes the Hamilton Brothers’ Funky Bop Music makes the world go around Quite seriously in his upcoming release of wrist sours, which is an ode one of the world’s best record player. The company’s latest creative venture takes the legendary DJ record player, Technics SL-1200 and reimaginates it as an automatic wrist watch for music and vinyl fans-makes it the smallest turntable I’ve ever seen (although one who actually can’t turn a melody), and it’s kind of sweet.

Powered by Miyota 9039 Premium Automatic Movement is the watch a small copy of the legendary DJ turntable that uses a small vinyl plate when the clock is facing. Its attention to detail is admirable, to go the distance to avoid including numbers in its design and instead use a clear pattern of dots to indicate hours, minutes and seconds. And again, no, it can’t turn actual vinyl records or play music of any kind, but it would be very impressive, wouldn’t it?

The larger red disk with the letter ‘A’ points to the current hour. The less red disk indicates seconds past, which, when the text returns to its original position, marks the beginning of a new minute. (Image Credit: Andoandoando)

It’s a unique takeover of a classic tire (and a chance to wear your analog loving heart on your wrist), but it may take some to get used to when it comes to deciphering the actual time and its designer, Yu Ando, apparently agrees. When referring to Watch’s Minut Hand in the Product Description Online, Ando writes: “Yes, it’s not right, it doesn’t point (to) the minute marker equal, but so you can interpret it in your own way”. OK – I still want one.

The minute hand is designed to repeat the tone of the turntable, and thus its slightly bent shape, and to sit on top of the vinyl record are two spinning disks; A large one with the letter ‘A’ pointing to the current hour, and a smaller one that shows the earlier earlier, which can be difficult to read – although Ando has stated that when the text on the disk is level and back to its original position, it indicates that the zero second has begun.

The watch is available for pre -order now and is available in three different finishes; Red, black and silver or gold and black both for $ 438 (which is about £ 350 or AU $ 697) or a slightly more expensive all -gold version for $ 455. Shipment is processed in April, but according to the Andoandoando Web site there will only be 30 pieces for this edition -so it is actually a very limited race.
