The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.

One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.

Seiko unveils the Andy Warhol collection

Warhol

Seiko now sells a series of "reasonably priced" watches featuring Pop Art images by Andy Warhol. Prices range from $75 to $150. Of particular interest is the three watch "Campell's" pack, which features a trio of digital watches that riff on Warhol's seminal 1968 Campbell's soup can screenprint.

Warhol's work was previously licensed to Swatch, who let their contract lapse because they lost money on the collection. I suspect the same will happen here because no matter how much I enjoy Warhol's work, I'm not likely to blow $150 on a green and orange plastic watch unless I'm significantly inebriated when handed my paycheck. Besides, I'm still waiting for the 15 minutes he promised.  [thanks, Tony!]
