“Stranger Things,” set in a small American town in the 1980s, centers around the sudden disappearance of a young boy and the unraveling mysteries that follow, including top-secret experiments, eerie supernatural forces, and a peculiar little girl. This watch, in essence, encapsulates the feel of the series and the decade it represents, transporting its wearer back to a time of thrilling storytelling and captivating classics.
The design of the watch itself is a testament to the depth of this collaboration. Building on the foundation of the iconic A120 model, reminiscent of CASIO Vintage’s digital watches that defined the ’80s, this new timepiece adds a fresh twist that echoes the series’ narrative.
The watch pays tribute to the “Upside Down,” an alternate reality presented in the series that exists in parallel to our human world. The vibrant front buttons and a Demogorgon, an entity from the show, imprinted at the center of the dial, craft a visual narrative that is as compelling as the series itself.
This immersive journey doesn’t end with the dial. When the LED light button is pressed, the name of the show appears in an inverted imprint, hinting at the existence of the “other side,” another world that lies beneath our own. The back of the case and the translucent strap feature peculiar tentacles, suggestive of the connection between the human world and the “Upside Down.”
A piece of art such as this is not complete without its frame. The packaging carries forward the theme, featuring imagery drawn from the series, making it a complete and enticing package for fans and watch enthusiasts alike.
