We’ve met the occasionally Nintendo super-fan but never somebody quite this dedicated to the Japanese gaming company’s mascot. According to watch blog A Blog to Watch, Swiss timepiece company Romain Jerome is going to be launching a special-edition Super Mario Bros. wristwatch, in association with Nintendo.
There will be 85 of the limited-edition watches available, a nod to the official first appearance of Mario in 1985. You’re going to have to be a well-heeled Nintendo fan in order to own one of the watches though, because they’re selling for a little under $19,000 – or around R275,000.
