I’ve owned a few comic book related watches over the years.\u00a0 Most have moved on to the great temporal graveyard in the sky, however, I’ve hung on to a couple worth sharing.<\/p>\n

Below is a Fossil watch from 1989 featuring a fantastic drawing of the Joker.\u00a0 I’m fairly confident the artist was Kyle Baker.\u00a0 I don’t recall much about obtaining the watch, but I’ve read online that it was apparently limited to 500 pieces.\u00a0 It was an awesome watch that I wore for many years.\u00a0 After cracking and replacing the crystal a few times and noticing how banged up the gold had become, I finally retired this watch.<\/p>\n

Below is a gorgeous Starman <\/em>watch released in 1997.\u00a0 The imagery matches the back of Jack Knight’s jacket in the Starman <\/em>comic series.\u00a0 I absolutely loved this watch!\u00a0 The crystal on this watch is beveled and is unfortunately very susceptible to damage.\u00a0 I replaced a cracked crystal on this watch once, only to crack it again soon after.\u00a0 I may consider repairing this watch so I can wear it again.<\/p>\n

Below is the watch I currently wear.\u00a0 It’s a knock-off I picked up on eBay, but it’s been great.\u00a0 Very reliable, fits well, and displays the Superman S-Shield in a subdued manner so I can wear this watch to business meetings.<\/p>\n

That’s all the comic related watches still in my possession.\u00a0 Do you have a favorite comic related watch?<\/p>\n
