Icon10 Bye Bye Euro Watch

"Plutocrats Take Note: ArtyA Introduces The “Bye Bye Euro” Watch




Need to check if you’re late to your Bilderberg meeting? What better way than to wear the Bye Bye Euro watch, a timepiece that celebrates the death of Europe’s last great financial hope.

Our old, crazy buddies at ArtyA made the watch in their “crushed” case – a case that’s zapped with wild amounts of electricity – and then stuffed shredded euro behind the dial. Sure it’s a little pretentious, but for 5900 CHF you, too, can celebrate the sorrow of the 99% in style!

The creative Brand ArtyA launches a tribute to “the sommet de Bruxelles
2011” to announce the end of the Euro currency.
This unique Watch called “Bye Bye Euro” has a hand manufactured dial using real Euros passed in a shredder, the case as well has gone through an exclusive crushing process in the ArtyA Art & Workshop in Geneva, Switzerland.
The ArtyA 1/1 “Bye Bye Euro” is powered by a high end Swiss automatic movement and the strap is braided kevlar to better absorb shocks.
Sarkozy, Berlusconi, Papandreou and Merkel are invited to buy one in order to remember their dreams."


from The Wrist Watch Review.

Haha, Europe's wanting to combine currencies collides with Italy's and Greece's economic kerfuffle. Someone should tell them Sarkozy and Burlusconi are Rolex guys and Merkel can't be bothered with a fancy watch.
