RealFakeWatches
realfakewhat? by Linda Kostowski
RealFakeWatches are metallic leather bracelet with one of 4 iconic watch design laser etched on them. Each watch is set to a randomly picked time, and embossed with a unique thinglink number in the back.
Realfakewatches are wristwatches that only work for one minute every day (well, two for analog ones). they are being made by linda kostowski and other invited designers.
the watches are laser cut from three pieces of genuine leather and manually assembled. they are fastened with velcro. each one comes with both a unique time (hand-picked by our randomizer robot) and a thinglink engraved on the back.
With a clock on pretty much every electronic gizmos everywhere, wearing
a watch is less about knowing what time it is than wearing a fashion
accessory. Rather than getting a fake real watch from a street vendor
selling cheap copies of Rolexes you could get a real fake watch instead.
