DIP Switch Watches Wear Their Circuitry on the Outside

DIP Switch Watches Wear Their Circuitry on the Outside

The DIP switches on these circuit-tastic watches actually do things. Photos Watchismo. These Click watches are probably the nerdiest timepieces we have ever seen. And we love them. They come in two main flavors, DIP Switch and Turn Switch, both using switches found on old-school circuit boards like those in 1980s arcade machines.

DIP switches were used to diddle with the way the machine worked. I always dreamed of a combo that would let me let me play the games for free, but as the patrons of my local arcade frowned upon the use of a screwdriver to open up the game cabinets, I never got to try.
