The Atari 2600 My Play Watch is now available for pre-order. Shipping begins June 10th.

You can play four classic Atari 2600 games: Centipede, Missile Command, Pong, and Super Breakout. The crown and button have been customized to look and feel like classic controller buttons, and the rotating crown operates like a paddle controller.

It includes three interchangeable bands too.

Price is around $80 USD.

Just arrived in the post, today’s #watch is this E.R.C. (Probably late 1950s or 1960s). Mechanical, hand-wound. I haven’t managed to find much information about the brand, but it should be French. I like that small magnifier window above the date.

Today's #watch is my Roue TPS Six. Movement: Seiko caliber VK63 chronograph hybrid meca-quartz. Crystal: Double Dome K1 mineral glass with anti-reflective treatment inside and sapphire coating outside. Stainless steel case, 40mm diameter. Limited edition (mine is №139 of 1000). It's my only chronograph watch and I love it.

Today’s #watch just arrived in the post, actually. A vintage, gold-plated Bifora. Made in Germany, dating probably around the 1950s-1960s. Mechanical, hand-winding, of course. Seems to work fine, and both dial and glass look pristine. Acquired for very little money, too.

Today’s #watch is an ‘Indian’ Favre-Leuba. Essentially a modern watch with a common hand-wound mechanical movement and some 1960s vintage look. My only faux pas in my journey of watch collecting. I was led to believe this was a genuine vintage Swiss watch. I didn’t know enough about the brand’s history to doubt the seller. At least it wasn’t a costly mistake. And the watch keeps good time and looks cool. *shrug*

Today’s #watch just arrived in the post, actually. Coming from Poland, it’s my first ‘Made in USSR’ watch — a mechanical, hand-wound Slava from the 1980s. Apologies for the not-great lighting. The watch works well and keeps good time.
