The Old Time Computer hardware has been produced to accommodate iPads, iPhones and iPods. While a multitude of companies have released Apple attachments that build on a sleek, modern look, these products have opted for the exact opposite. Crafted of solid hardwood, these docks, keyboards and USB drives are retro-themed, echoing the authentic furnishing seen in classic office settings.
The Old Time Computer products are handcrafted and are only being sold as a part of a limited edition collection. The lack of mass manufacturing here furthers the vintage feel, reminiscent of a time when companies paid precise attention to each output. While these features are all nostalgic, the wares also provide room for current Apple cases, merging the past with a bit of the present.
