Are you willing to pay for a watch as much as one would spend on a car? Are you a Nintendo fan? If you have been a Nintendo buff all your life and mostly your growing years then you need to talk to the luxury watchmaker Romain Jerome. Just recently, a limited edition Super Mario Bros. watch has been revealed on its 30th Anniversary by the renowned maker of watches. This stylish watch comes in a 46mm case that is made of black titanium and the three-layer dial comes equipped with enamel-coated pixel figures that are reminiscent of the early Mario days, as reported by Engadget.

This watch looks very stylish and is priced at a mouth-gaping $18,950. This watch is a collector's dream who like to keep a nostalgic collection of the luxury watches indicative of a childhood well spent. The watch is set to be released by the end of 2015 which is tied into the 30th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros. on Nintendo Entertainment systems. Mario debuted as a character back in the day but soon became a famous 2D action making the video games more exciting and challenging that we know them for. The game was released in 1985, it has been 30 years since the legendary game character was born, says A Blog to Watch

This is the third arcade timepiece created by Romain Jerome that joins his Pac Man and Space Invaders pieces. Even though the watch moves automatically, it is the designing that too much of the hard work.
