Before he really gets busy preparing for Christmas in his workshop, Santa Claus took a moment to stop by and promote Icelink’s very icy new watch.
As Luxist reports, Icelink’s detailed press releases admit that they have signed an exclusive deal with Santa Claus, who will happily use their six-time-zone rectangular heavy watch as he flies (with Rudolph, of course) across the different time zones of the world delivering presents on Christmas Eve.
Saint Nick seems to be a smart choice as far as celebrity endorsements go. After all, who better to really appreciate and utilize a six-time-zone watch than a man who visits all six time-zones in just one night? Maybe the jolly old elf will travel faster and give a few extra gifts thanks to his hot--or, cold--new icy timepiece.
