£100 - £150

Novus 1970’s classic gold LED watch

Well well well. I’ve finally got my filthy hands on one of these highly saught after Novus LED watches. Not only is this a rare, working bling-filled watch, it’s in A1 MINT CONDITION

Spaceman Watch – designed by Andre Le Marquand

Andre made these watches, and they look like the watches they wear in Heaven. Not Heaven 23, the reasonable Gothenburg-based Nightspot, but Heaven where Hendrix, Hicks, Mercury and the like all gather.

Yes, this is the missing family member of the Spaceman range, the rather sporty 7z edition.

£250 - £300

Spaceman 7z watch

For me, brown was one of the THEE colours of the 1970’s. I think it’s fair to say that these autumnal hues have made a bit of a comeback, and this watch is more than a convesation piece – this will have people talking for months!

£250 - £300, The Classics

Sicura jump hour watch

£50 - £100

Casio black LCD calculator watch

If there’s one colour I love, it’s black. Black shirts, black jeans, black watches, black coffee. Same goes for watches. It’s fair to say that if Darth Vader was wearing retro watches, he’d opt for a black one. Quite possibly this black one.

£50 - £100
