It is believed in some quarters that wristwatches are in danger of becoming redundant and obsolete because everyone relies on the built-in clocks on cellphones. I didn't subscribe to that. For a while, I personally believed wristwatches would stick around, if only as attractive accessories. Until I saw this grenade wristwatch.
"Crafted from canvas and stainless steel, this grenade watch will probably be the closest you'll get to actually experiencing the power of holding the bomb in your hand," notes Styleguru. "At the click of the firing pin, the grenade opens up, revealing a very military looking watch making it a must have for any war enthusiast."
