Bond. James Bond. How many times did you watch spy movies to get inspired and then go trail your grandmother before she came home with the groceries? I know you did it- at least once! And I also know I did it too …many other times, even after I grew older, but somehow, Bond always had a bad influence upon me. And don’t you get just a little bit frustrated that after watching oh, so many nights entire series of spy movies, you still look at your regular watch and wish it was a rocket launcher? I know after watching some cartoons when I was younger I pretented to be invisible for a week…

So what is it that attracts us so bad to the spy movies? The adrenaline, the masculine figure of Mr Bond, the beautiful women, the hot cars? Well, yes, all of the above but still, I feel excited every time I go to the cinema to watch another James Bond series, just to see the latest, coolest and most expensive gadgets he will use to catch the bad guys. And because I know many of you just won’t be suitable enough for a spy career, you can still be tech-addicted and have some pretty cool secret agent-like items.
Besides the money to buy super-awesome fast and furious cars, all spies have to have like a survival kit specially designed for them; it has to enclose a secret power potion, loads of cash and false IDs, super-dupper ultra performant mini computer and, the most important of them all, a very
cool watch. Because don’t think spies get late for dinners only, but that watch contains more technology than an entire East-European city. From digital track devices to mini cameras, cam recorders, video recorder, emission-transmission device- everything a
cool spy would have sits in only one item- the
watch. But those
watches are, let’s say, if not unrealistic, highly improbable to be purchased on regular orders, moreover, on the internet. Still, here are some cool watches that will make you feel one step closer to an international spy or double spy:
www.stupid.com supplies you with one of the coolest watches you will ever see: the relativity watch. Because Albert Einstein once said, “Everything is relative.” Or perhaps it was a relative of Albert’s who said that. It doesn’t matter. Or maybe it does. And that’s the whole point… nothing is set. Still, this is a very cool watch.
But by far one of the best watch supplier across the web is the www.watchismo.com. I totally fell in love with at least a dozen of some sophisticated or funny watches, with off the hoock designs, shapes, colors and features. Now I know where James does his shopping…
