Super Lovers Computer Clock

Happy Valentines day to any of the watch lovers who celebrate that sort of thing (and happy Friday to everyone else). I couldn't resist the occasion myself and have a slightly love related post today.

Today I have chosen another timepiece by Super Lovers. The Super Lovers brand is from the Japanese company Harajuku Super Lovers who are based in Tokyo, Japan. They started in 1988 and sell interesting fashion designs based on London club culture.

My previous posts were on their watches, but today I'm covering a clock. This is the Super Lovers computer clock and is a very small clock for on a desk or shelf (and is only about 4cm high). The clock is shaped like a computer and monitor, with the clock face in the monitor. The monitor can swivel a little like a computer monitor too!

Removing the front of the monitor takes the clock module out, and you then need to remove the back of this, to get to the quartz movement. The module is made by Time Module Inc who are a Hong Kong brand started in 1987 (maybe as a spin off from Seiko). The module number is PC21A and it takes and AG4 battery.

The clock face is a 3 hand dial, or more correctly, two hands and a rotating Super Lovers logo (a heart in a diamond shape). The face features two of the Super Lovers Panda bear mascots, along with the computers trash bin, and the date 1997 (which is when I assume the clock is from).
