Watches are Based on the Retro Nintendo Game By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-06-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-nintendo-game References: [toyland.gizmodo](http://toyland.gizmodo.com/a-super-mario-bros-watch-reminds-you-its-always-a-good-1710162924) & [mrjoneswatches](http://mrjoneswatches.com/sun-and-moon-miyamoto/) The new [limited-edition Super Mario Bros. watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hamilton-resident-evil-requiem) draw design inspiration from the beloved retro [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-mario-home-adventure-life) game. Produced by the company 'Mr. Jones Watches,' these Sun and Moon Miyamoto watches are perfect for any vintage gaming fan. The exclusive watches feature an interesting half-face design, which showcases the familiar landscape from the original Nintendo game. The side-scrolling landscape will slowly change as the day progresses from day to night for a unique take on the classic game. The Super Mario Bros. watch also includes a navy and gray leather band, which complements the overall watch motif. Unfortunately for fans of the retro Nintendo game, Mr. Jones Watches is only producing 100 copies of the Sun and Moon Miyamoto watches, so now is the time to snag one before they run out for good. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Limited-edition Collectible Watches:** Opportunity for brands to create limited-edition watches inspired by nostalgic video games to target collectors and gaming enthusiasts. - **Interactive Timepiece Designs:** Chance for watchmakers to innovate with interactive features that showcase dynamic visuals throughout the day, creating a unique user experience. - **Nostalgic Gaming Merchandise:** Potential for brands to tap into the market of retro gaming fans by producing merchandise that combines nostalgia with functional everyday items like watches. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Watchmaking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for watchmakers to tap into the gaming market by creating video game-inspired timepieces that appeal to both gamers and watch enthusiasts. - **Collectibles:** Opportunity for collectible brands to collaborate with gaming companies and release limited-edition watches that cater to the demand for nostalgia in the gaming community. - **Gaming Merchandise:** Disruption potential for companies in the gaming merchandise industry to expand their product offerings to include functional and stylish accessories like video game-inspired watches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Gaming Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-gaming-watch.md) - [Retro Video Game Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-x-pacman.md) - [Nostalgic Gaming Timepiece Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nubeo-ventana-atari-edition-watch.md) - [Collaboration Gaming Console Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anicorn-x-sega-megadrivegenesis.md) - [Gaming Console Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-xbox-x-meister-watches.md) - [Retro Gaming Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-invaders-my-play-watch.md) - [Retro Video Game Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-x-nubeo-ventana-automatic-atari-asteroids.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Homewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-mario-home-adventure-life.md) - [Video Game Travel Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-super-mario-travel-items.md)
