commented on The Most Iconic Watch? · 2 months ago

Totally agree! All of these models are iconic for a small group. The Casio F91W is part of the collection of the design department of MoMa and many other museums. For me it's the Cartier Crash, but I'm aware that it's only iconic for a very select group of nerds and fashionistas.

1. A photo of laying down exhausted from the games.

2 . A photo of you looking up in terror when you see it’s max

3. Print a photo of me waving you over on the wall or on your computer and take a photo of your hand reaching out for mine.

4. A photo of you filling a “bag of money”.

5. A photo of you running away with the bag of money behind another person

6 a photo of you getting on to a boat.

7. A photo of you with the sunset in the background

8. A photo of you giving the bag of money to a family member

9. A photo of you holding this badge in your hand.

10. A photo of your best celebration pose of completing the games.

Shameless self promotion post! (But Fratello is already following me and TGV from The Urban Gentry liked my first post, so you really need to check this one…)

So I have been thinking about this ‘project’ (by lack of another word) for a long time and finally started. It’s a crossover between the classic wrist...

A first for me, since I'm not much around here anymore. Anyone?
