The article highlights a unique timepiece, The Twelve Snake, which celebrates the Lunar New Year with a design inspired by the classic Snake game from Nokia phones. This limited-edition luxury watch features a golden snake figuratively wrapping around the tourbillon and a vibrant 'Venom Green' dial reminiscent of the game’s graphics. This reference not only evokes nostalgia for the 90s but also examines how mobile phones transitioned into a source of entertainment. The watch cleverly blends luxurious aesthetics with playful elements, making it a remarkable choice for those who appreciate both style and nostalgia.
This limited edition watch, designed just for the Year of the Snake, puts a different twist on that theme. Rather than some generic snake, The Twelve Snake reminds us of one of the most addictive mobile games that ever landed on phones.
The bright 'Venom Green' dial and its woven pattern mimic the low-res screens of the old Nokia phones on which the game found its notoriety.
Despite the simplicity of the graphics and controls, the Snake game on Nokia phones brought countless hours of mindless fun, mashing those two or four keys to make sure that your ever-growing snake doesn't go hungry and eat itself.
Even in the 90s, mobile phones were already becoming more than just communication devices. That's because even in the 90s, people would often find themselves with long pockets of idle time.
