Before the age of Candy Crush, games were a lot simpler, fun, easy, but no less addictive. Tetris was one of those indulgences we played on our Game Boys and primitive consoles. So when Swiss watch brand RJ Romain Jerome recently added the iconic puzzle tiles design to its Generational Icon (it already counts Pac-Man and Space Invaders-themed designs), the inner geek in us squealed a little.
Named the Tetris-DNA, the 46mm watch comes with a dial that mirrors the display of a Tetris game in motion. The Skittle-coloured tiles boasts a first for the brand: each Tetriminos block is made up of four anodized aluminum Clou de Paris decoration that gives that studded, three-dimensional effect. Flip it over and the Tetris medallion is inscribed with the numbered series of the 84 (the game was created in 1984) sets made worldwide.
