A quartz digital watch is powered by a battery. Quartz movements are highly accurate, capable of keeping time to within milliseconds per day. One of the most popular new events to hit the automotive community in the last few years is Radwood, a global series of car and lifestyle shows that strives to capture the feeling and fun of the ‘80s and ‘90s. They’re usually energetic, colorful affairs with a wide array of rare metal from that 20-year stretch, but the era-specific flair is always a bit larger than life, distorted through a rose-tinted lens and obscure cultural one-upmanship. The end result is a kitschy theme-park ride through the last two decades of the 20 th century with a distinctive style of its own, which brings us to the Timex T80 x PAC-MAN. As a collaboration designed to celebrate 40 years of both Timex digital watches and the arcade classic, perhaps no other timepiece has ever captured the Radwood spirit quite so perfectly. The Timex T80 x PAC-MAN combines tough digital functionality with retro charm, surprising finishing, and most importantly, fun.
