Brew Watch Co 8-Bit Brew Watch

If, like us here at The Coolector, you’ve got a pretty big penchant for old school videogames and watches, you’ll be delighted when the two worlds collide – particularly when said collision is as awesome as this Brew Watch Co 8-Bit Brew Watch. Playfully designed and boasting a retro aesthetic it’s impossible not to love, we’re pretty sure this super-cool timepiece will positively fly off the shelves and onto the wrists of 80s and 90s kids this Christmas. Looking for the ideal gift for a retro-gaming fan? You may just have found it.

Priced at $395, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a cooler looking watch at the price point than the 8-Bit Brew Watch from the guys at American watchmakers, Brew Watch Co. This super-cool release is probably one of our favourites to date from this top quality micro brand and for anyone with a genuine love of the golden age of videogames, it’s an essential addition to your horological line up. It takes its design inspiration from the retro-classic arcade games of the 80s and the 8-Bit Brew watch is a nostalgic blend of coffee and retro pixelated styling that is both functional and eye-catching on the wrist.

GLORIOUS GAMING ERA

The 1980s is nostalgia central for us here at Coolector HQ so it was somewhat of an inevitability that we would have our head well and truly turned by this amazing looking timepiece from Brew Watch Co. The 8-Bit Brew Watch has a design that features custom pixelated chronograph hands, numbers and markers that bring a nostalgic balance to the whole aesthetic. Turn this watch over and expose the caseback that speaks to its 80s arcade inspiration with “PRESS START / PRESS RESET” indicators.

You’ll also find a subtle coffee engraved on the caseback of the 8-Bit Brew Watch from Brew Watch Co which is subtle nod to the origins of the brand and a constant reminder to always savour your special moment in time. This top notch timepiece houses a Seiko VK64 meca-quartz hybrid movement that delivers a robust and reliable performance to this cracking watch. We’re big fans of the vibrant colours dotted across the dial of this watch which really does make it pop on the wrist and is a fitting tribute to the golden era of gaming on which the design is based.

For those who have an affinity for playful yet wonderfully cool timepieces, this offering from Brew Watch Co is sure to tick all of the right boxes in our opinion. It’s got old-school cool in spades, has one of the coolest looking dials out there, is made from highly quality components and, perhaps most pleasingly of all, it can be on your wrist this Christmas for under $500. For any man who longs for the days of Pac-Man, Mario et al, this is definitely the watch for you.
