Villainous Galactic Watches

Devon's $28,500 Star Wars Watches Resemble the Iconic TIE Fighter Jet

— September 9, 2015 — Fashion
This line of intergalactic Star Wars watches is one for the ages. The unique time piece is intricately designed using strong materials that only the best droids, spaceships and Stormtroopers would have. The limited edition 'Devon' watch is sleek in design with complex details, boasting two entirely different looks when opened and closed.

Opened, the timepiece looks like the iconic sci-fi Tie Fighter jet -- the villainous transporter of the Dark side. Diamond-like carbon steel was used to build the Star Wars watches, giving them a durable and shiny shell while Tie Fighter wings pop out of either side. Intricate details were also paid attention to, like the screws resembling Darth Vader's helmet and the straps acting as a nod to the evil villain's gloves. Finally, underneath the sapphire crystal glass, the epic Galactic Empire logo is shown off. Joining the plentiful lines of Star Wars themed products -- this watch is a fancy piece of memorabilia, costing the most dedicated fan a whopping $28,500.
