Pac-Man has been brought to life once again in the Casio x PAC-MAN Limited Edition model, a reinterpretation of the F-100 digital watch, first released in 1978.
It is an appropriate watch to reimagine the popular game, itself first released in 1980, with its bold graphics, bright colours and simple concept – eat, run! – here faithfully reproduced four decades later. The vintageis also acknowledged, with the design nodding to the original 1978 F-100 digital watch, the first Casio quartz watch in a resin case.
‘We wanted to realise the Pac-Man world on the entire watch design, including the strap, case-back and package, as well as ensuring fans feel like they are entering into the world of the Pac-Man game-screen through each design element – like with the ghosts, who follow the actual play on the screen of Pac-Man,’ says Tomoaki Nakamura of the Casio’s timepiece marketing department. To do this, details are loyal to the quirks of the game.
For Casio, the collaboration was a natural one. ‘Both Pac-Man and Casio digital watches have countless fans around the world, over many generations,’ adds Nakamura. ‘It is representative of the 1980s and iconic – born in Japan.’ §
