In an age when the iPhone is quickly becoming the dominant mobile timepiece, buck the trend by sporting a classic piece of New Yorker imagery on your wrist. More than 400 of Gahan Wilson’s often fantastical, always darkly funny illustrations have appeared in and on The New Yorker since 1976. In his October 4, 2004 cover, reproduced on the face of this watch, Wilson upends the traditionally charming scene of a bathing baby and his toy duck. Here, instead, a mother duck tenderly looks over her young one, who splashes happily in the tub with a tiny, goggle-eyed man, doubling here as the watch’s second hand. The wristband, in a black and white windowpane pattern, reflects the bathroom tile. Watch face is approximately 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Watch band measures approximately 8 3/4 inches from end to end.
