If you ’re unfamiliar withDevon , the horologist has made a name for itself with a uniquetread - based systemwherenumbers on rotating beltsthat appear to blow in mid - air are used to expose the meter . It ’s a neat trick , actualize with some genuinely complex but intriguing watchmaking .
If you thoughtSphero ’s $ 150 BB-8 toywas an indulgence , few Star Wars aggregator will be prosperous enough to purchase Devon ’s late creation ; only 500 are being raise , and each one will be $ 28,500 . Disney does n’t mess around when it comes to cash in in on its franchises .
But surprisingly , even though it ’s priced like to a novel car , the Devon Star Wars Limited Edition lookout man is n’t a completely original instauration . It ’s actually the original Devon Tread 1 that ’s been upgraded with some Star Wars flare including TIE fighter wing accent on the sides , the Imperial crest on the crownwork , and spaceship - like metal plating over the watch ’s nerve .
