ZZYZX Bass Guitar watch

I've posted collections bit by bit on the blog so far, so I thought I'd make a change and have a theme week.

Zzyzx can mean several things, it was an album by Zeromancer, a 2005 film, or songs (Zzyzx Scarecrow by Stavesacre, or Zzyzx Rd. by Stone Sour). It can also refer to 'the last place on earth', which is an abandoned town in California, which was named to be the last word in any alphabetical list.

In this case, it refers to a brand of novelty watches made by Hind International Investment Ltd. They produced many different types including a 5 piece band, and today is the first of those.

The body of the watch is shaped like a Bass guitar (but with only 4 strings), and has a 3-hand dial in the middle. The neck of the guitar makes up one of the watch straps, with a hook on the back to clip into the other part. (I posted this at first as the lead guitar, but forgot to look at the number of tuning pegs :-s - So for a change, the Bass comes first!!)

The back states 2001 design ZX original in a triangular shape.
The other watches in the series will be coming in the following days.
