Killer Watches are the ultimate
reminder that our time is limited. Perhaps there is a perverse psychology in
play here, maybe we need reminding there are those who could take our lives in
a second. Life is brutally short - we should make the most of it.
Charles Manson, Ed Gein and Ted Bundy,
their names may conjure images of terror yet if we are honest we are intrigued
by their motives, their lives and their sickening sense of style, we are
revolted and attracted at the same time.
Television is filled to the brim with
forensic and detective dramas, true crime is all the rave having its own cable
channel and the various news programs try to outdo each other with what they
can show.
So, what is the ultimate Serial
Collectible ? We have seen some great calendars and cards in earlier issues and
a regular magazine is now available (see review this issue), but never watches
– slaughter on your wrist !
These Killer Watches are superb
collectibles, beautifully made, devilishly perverse and hopefully even
offensive to weaker souls ! They have reliable movements, leather bands and the
faces of the watches are clear and decorative.
Each one includes the “Killer” logo and the face of a killer; there are
twelve in all, to collect. Bundy,
Dahmer, Night Stalker, Gacy, Manson, Gein, BTK, Unabomber, Green River Killer,
OJ Simpson, Scott Peterson and one for the ladies, Aileen Wuornos.
