Time travel

D&G put some 70s telly-style action on your wrist.

This morning we featured a toaster that was a throw-back to cassette decks of the 80s. Now we've snuck out a wristwatch that's firmly rooted in 70s living rooms.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what D&G's latest wristwear is reminiscent of. Dubbed the Medicine Man - we're not sure why exactly - the stainless steel timepiece is a knock-off of BBC's first-ever "electronically generated" test card (test card G, to be precise).

That's right, kids, there was a time way back when telly would knock off for the night and test cards would take over. And there weren't even iPods yet to keep folks company after hours. Sigh.

Around £175 from D&G Time.
