James Bond Villain Inspired Watches

Swatch has come up with a series of watches inspired by various James Bond villains. There are 22 watches in all, one for each movie.

Some of the watches I get. The watch for villain Le Chiffre, from the most recent Casino Royale movie has a poker theme, with a "A" in place of the 12, a big spade on the watch face and then the different suits in place of other numbers.

Some of them, it just seems like they didn't really try all that hard. The one for Jaws, from The Spy Who Loved Me, is pretty much just a watch. I guess you could say that it's all metal and shiny like his teeth, but that's about it.

Even stranger, the watch for the movie Goldfinger is all gold. Ok, that part makes great sense, until you see that the villain that it's inspired by is Oddjob. The guy with the killer bowler hat. Not the actual bad guy named Goldfinger. Say what?

Regardless, some of the watches are decent, so they might be worth a look. You can check them all out at the Swatch site HERE
